How To Pause An Online Auction

One of the simplest ways to Pause An Online Auction is to clear the Online bidding end time which effectively suspends bidding for all items (except those that have specific override end times set).

Online Bidding Period

From the main Auction Dashboard, go to Online Settings > Online Bidding to edit the auction's Online Bidding Period.

Click the blue pencil icon to Edit Online Bidding Period setting.

WARNING

If you click the Online bidding end time "now" button, or set a time in the past, the online auction will be immediately closed when you save the settings.

Edit the Online bidding start time to the date in the future you want bidding to resume.
