Maximum bids and sliding end times
Maximum bids The DVLA Timed online auction runs on the principle of “maximum bids”. Bidders submit “maximum bids” which are invisible to other bidders. Bidding starts at the Starting price*. If there is any bidding on a lot, the auction system will automatically increase bids on behalf of bidders in £10 increments. Once a bidder’s “maximum bid” has been reached, the system will stop bidding for them. If two bidders submit the same maximum bid, the system will award the highest bid to the bidder who fist submitted their bid.
Sliding end time The “sliding end time” is a mechanism to prevent auction sniping, or the practise of rival bidders outbidding each other with just seconds to go before the deadline. Every lot has a published “end time” clearly visible on the website at all times. This is the deadline by which all bids must be received. Any bidding in the last 30 minutes before the end time, the end time will slide by up to a further 30 minutes, thereby allowing bidding to reach its natural conclusion.
The current winning bid price for each registration is on view on the website at all times.
