Card Auction lets you put a single card up for 72-hour open bidding and let buyers compete. Instead of guessing a price, you set a starting bid and the market decides the rest.
How an Auction Works
1
List one card with a starting price (the same rarity floors as Card Trading apply). The card locks, just like a normal listing.
2
Bidders raise the price in fixed +5% steps. The very first bid equals your starting price.
3
Each bid is escrowed; the moment someone is outbid, their credits are refunded instantly.
4
After 72 hours the highest bidder wins. Both sides then tap FINISH to settle.
Starting an auction uses the same Place Order screen as a normal sale — open a card, set a price, and tick Place as Auction. That price becomes your starting bid.
Tick “Place as Auction” on the Place Order screen — your price becomes the opening bid
Important
You can run only one auction at a time, and once the first bid lands you cannot cancel — the card is committed. A bid-less auction can still be cancelled to free the card.
Bidding & the +5% Step
Every plate shows the Current Bid, the Next Bid (what you would pay), and the time remaining. Tap BID to place the Next Bid — a quick confirm, with no amount to type in.

5 min
anti-snipe extend
A card at 2,500 → the next bid is 2,625 (2,500 × 1.05, rounded up to a whole credit).
Note
Anti-snipe: any bid in the final 5 minutes pushes the deadline out by 5 more minutes — as many times as needed — so a last-second snipe always gives others a chance to answer.
Winning & Finishing
Nothing settles automatically. The auction concludes when either side taps FINISH, in whichever order:
1
Winner → claims the card. It transfers to your box — auction winners ignore the card-box limit.
2
Seller → collects the credits (final bid minus the 5% fee).
The two halves are independent, so either party can finish first. Outbid players have nothing to claim — their credits were refunded the moment they were outbid.
Note
Because settlement is lazy, you can collect your side any time after the 72 hours end — even days later. Until then the card stays safely held.
Fees
The standard 5% market fee applies to the final hammer price and is paid by the seller — exactly like Card Trading.
