The Bid Acceptance Portal also known as deal making gives sellers control over bids that fall below their reserve price after an auction ends.

How Deal Making Works

• Review the highest bid received after the auction closes
• Choose to accept the bid (completing the sale) even though it's below the reserve
• Or reject the bid and relist the item if the price isn't satisfactory

Win Win Benefits of After Auction Deal Making

The Bid Acceptance Portal gives the seller more control over their auctions. Instead of the software automatically rejecting bids below their reserve price, they can decide case by case whether to accept them.

This helps many sellers complete more sales by accepting bids that are close enough to their target price. Buyers benefit too, as they might still win an item even with a below-reserve bid, getting a good deal in the process.

Note: Bid acceptance is only available until midnight on the day the auction ends. After this time, all open bids will be automatically rejected and the items will become available for relisting.
