Auctions
Use this page for auction concepts, placement inventory, bid rules, confirmation states, reporting paths, and the boundaries between seller bidding and admin-owned auction controls.

Explain which auction surfaces are reader-facing, how bids are entered or reviewed, what status changes matter, and where sponsored placement language differs from standard catalog behavior. Readers should leave knowing the auction lifecycle without having to infer it from scattered app screens.
