How do GGH auctions work?
Our auctions run on Green Gate Drops. Every lot updates live, so you see new bids and price changes without refreshing the page.
English auctions
The price goes up. Each bid must be at least the lot's bid increment above the current highest bid. When the timer runs out, the highest bidder wins.
Dutch auctions
The price goes down. It starts high and drops by a set amount every minute until it reaches the lot's minimum price. The first person to bid wins right away at the current price, and the lot closes.
Anti-snipe protection
Some English lots have anti-snipe protection. On those lots, a bid placed close to the end adds time to the clock, so other bidders get a chance to answer. Every late bid adds more time.
Auction tiers
Your auction tier decides which lots you can bid on. Each lot page shows the minimum tier it needs.
Tier | What you need | What you can bid on |
|---|---|---|
Guest | A new account | Lots open to Guest |
Basic | An account at least 30 days old, plus P3,000 in lifetime purchases or 1 event in the last 120 days | Lots open to Basic and below |
Verified | An account at least 30 days old, plus P10,000 in lifetime purchases or 3 events in the last 120 days | All standard lots |
Premium | An account at least 30 days old, plus P50,000 in lifetime purchases or 10 events in the last 120 days | Every lot, including exclusive and limited ones |
We update your tier automatically, and your account page shows it. Auction tiers are separate from the Bronze to Platinum shop tiers.
The full rules are on the Drops guide.
