# Pre-Bids ## How it works: * When you're creating a live auction listing turn Pre-Bids ON. * Your auction listing will be available for pre-bids only once you load it into a scheduled livestream. Buyers will have the ability to pre-bid as far as seven days out if you have your listing loaded into a scheduled stream. * Buyers can pre-bid up until you run the auction. You can suggest they view the auction listings in your live store and enter in their pre-bids. {% hint style="info" %} Run your auctions that have pre-bids! If you do *not* run a live auction listing that has a pre-bid within the same day of your scheduled stream, the pre-bid will be voided. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
