Searching "ShopGoodwill auction sniper"? This guide covers what the term means, whether the platform allows it, and when automation beats watching the countdown yourself.
You set a max bid. You matched what someone else had. You lost. Here's the proxy bidding rule that changes how you should think about every ShopGoodwill auction.
