Close or Reject Auctions (Batch Action)

This batch action has two capabilities.

1. End an active auction early

If an auction is still active, you can close it before its scheduled end time.

🚫 Ending an auction prematurely will likely upset bidders who believe they still have a chance to win. This action is not recommended for items that have received bids.

To close an active auction, check off the items you want and click Close/Reject from the Batch Action menu.

Close/Reject option in the Batch Action menu

When selected, a confirmation window will appear.

Close/Reject confirmation dialog

Select Close Now to proceed or No, Cancel to stop the action.

2. Reject unmet-reserve bids after close

This batch action also lets you reject bids on a completed auction when the bid didn’t meet the reserve price. We have a portal that lets you work the deal after the auction ends — see Bid Acceptance Portal for details.
