BidFTA Auctions Are Different
Unlike eBay where auctions end at a fixed time, BidFTA auctions extend with every bid. Each bid adds more time to the clock. The winner isn't whoever bids at the last second—it's whoever keeps bidding longest.
This changes everything about how you should approach these auctions.
The Extension Mechanic
When someone bids on a BidFTA auction, the timer extends. This can go on for hours. The auction only ends when everyone stops bidding. Traditional "sniping" doesn't work here—you need endurance.
How FTA Shark Bids For You
You set your maximum price. We handle everything else:
- We start at the minimum — never revealing your max to competitors
- We bid through every extension — as long as you're under your limit
- We bid only what's needed — minimum increments to stay ahead
- We keep going until they quit — or you hit your max
The result: you win more auctions at lower prices because competitors give up before you do.
Three Steps to Start
Find an Item
Browse 40+ BidFTA locations. Filter by category, price, or location. See current bids and time remaining.
Set Your Max
Enter the most you're willing to pay. We'll bid the minimum needed through every extension up to that limit.
Walk Away
We handle the auction. When competitors stop bidding, you win. You only pay what was needed to beat them.
You Only Pay When You Win
Tokens are only used for successful wins. If you're outbid or the auction fails, you keep your tokens.
Why This Works
Most bidders give up. They get tired of extending the auction, they hit their mental limit, or they simply walk away. FTA Shark doesn't get tired. We keep bidding the minimum increment through every extension until:
- You win (competitors stopped bidding)
- You reach your max (we stop, protecting your limit)
Your max price stays hidden. Competitors only see the current bid, never your limit. This prevents them from knowing how much more they need to bid to beat you.
