Add Starting Bid Value (advanced)
If you want, you can add the Starting Bid value for the item using some additional custom Liquid code.
The following will display the Starting Bid for the item if one has been set using the criteria the value is greater than 0 (the system default is 1, but this is calculated based on the entered value being blank or 0).
{% if StartingBid > 0 %}Starting Bid: ${{StartingBid}}{% endif -%}
Auctria Pro-Tip from Launch Services!
For layout purposes, in the PDF created for the Display Pages, it is best to leave a blank line between the default ValueText line and the StartingBid line.
