Getting Started with Bidding

How to Place a Bid

Placing a bid on KOVA is quick and straightforward. Follow these steps:

  • Find the item you want to bid on
  • Review the item details and current bid amount
  • Enter your maximum bid amount
  • Confirm your bid

Understanding Proxy Bidding

KOVA uses automatic proxy bidding to help you win items at the lowest possible price. When you place a bid, the system automatically bids on your behalf up to your maximum amount, incrementally bidding against other users.
