Flippa 24 hr workaround?

4 replies
Hi,

As some of you might know, Flippa recently stopped allowing 24 hour auctions and made 3 day min.

However after posting the auction I was able to see an option to "reduce auction duration"

After clicking that, I see this:

Any idea if this is normal or not? I get "Unchanged duration" in the option and no other option to reduce it at all.

    They are probably working on fixing it, you should tell customer support about it.

    Cheers

    No, they won't be fixing this issue because they have changed their rules. The minimum amount of time that an auction can now run is three days.

    Earlier this year in February what I did was I listed a site for a 3 day auction and then I used to reduce it later by one day so it got completed in 2 days. I did this with around 20 auctions then I guess too many people started using this trick and eventually flippa found out about it and disabled it.

    Let me know if you find a way to run an auction for less than 3 days.
