Bid in live unified auctions
Find open auction rooms on Premium.st and place whole-dollar bids before hammer time.
Step 1: Sign in with a verified network account. Banned or compliance-locked accounts cannot bid.
Step 2: Open Live auctions from the header or visit /auctions on Premium.st.
Step 3: Browse rooms or filter by category. Each row shows current high bid, bid count, and end time.
Step 4: Open a room to read terms, reserve status if shown, and minimum next bid.
Step 5: Before bidding, confirm funding on Dot.st — wallet balance or saved card as allowed on the bid form.
Step 6: Enter a whole-dollar bid at or above the minimum next bid. Submit before the timer reaches zero.
Step 7: If outbid, raise your bid before hammer. Near the end, refresh to avoid surprise snipes.
Step 8: If you win, pay within the stated deadline via Dot.st wallet or shown payment method. Late payment may forfeit the win under policy.
You do not need an original backorder to bid in Dropcatch-originated rooms. Open bidding applies to all verified eligible members.
