# 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.
