Enable the option for blind bidding in auctions. In this method, bidders can submit their offer without knowing the current highest bid or seeing any other bids.

Blind bidding is now available!
Select "Blind Bidding" from the Bidding Method drop-down in Auction Settings. Only auction-style items are supported with this bidding method. All other registration and payment processes remain the same.
How it works:
- Bidders submit a single, confidential maximum bid without seeing others' offers — a true "best and final" bid
- Winners are only notified when they have won an item and/or are sent a payment request
- All pricing and bid activity is hidden from public-facing pages, keeping the experience fully private
Thank you for your feedback!

Interested in having only certain items in the auction as a blind bid. Not all items… so an option to select blind bid when entering an item in would be great rather than just the entire auction is blind bid.

We’d also love the option to hide Starting Price, Buy It Now, and Item Value or at least allow non-numerical values like “priceless” for unique experiences. This will keep the suspense high without showing any pricing! 💫🎤
