Does Ultimate Auction support proxy bidding and anti-sniping (soft-close)?

Yes — both are supported on Business and All Access plans.

Proxy Bidding: A buyer sets a maximum bid amount, and the system automatically places the lowest necessary bid on their behalf to keep them in the lead — without them having to return manually. The platform only bids up to their preset maximum.

Anti-Sniping / Soft-Close: If a bid is placed in the final moments of an auction (the time window is configurable by the admin), the countdown timer is automatically extended. This prevents last-second sniping and gives all participants a fair opportunity to respond — ensuring more competitive and legitimate auction outcomes.
