**Step 4: Fill up the required fields for auction.**

A pop-up will appear showing blank fields for the Minimum Bid, Reserve Price, Buy it Now price, and Auction Expiration (date and time). Fill out the blank fields then click Done.

Note: You will see a countdown timer on the item’s auction page indicating how much time is left for the buyers to place their bids before the auction closes.

If you wish to adjust the Minimum Bid, Reserve Price, Buy it Now price or Auction Expiration (date and time) during the auction period, you can just click the **Edit Auction** button and a pop-up will appear similar to Step 4 above. Once set, you can click **Done**.<br>

## Bid on an Item

**Step 3: Wait until the countdown timer is done.**

Once the bid is entered, users should wait until the countdown timer is done. After the countdown, the winning bid will acquire the NFT.

Note: This is how it will look once no one tops a user's bid. Users will be considered the **Winner** and you have 24 hours to complete your purchase by paying through Ethereum.
