If you are outbid in the timed auction, you will receive an email letting you know that this has happened.

As the timed auction is closing, you may be outbid just before your item closes. To prevent “sniper” bids, Clars online bidding has been designed so that if a bid comes in within the last five minutes of your item closing, the time allowed to bid on the lot will extend by five additional minutes. If you’re watching in lot view, you will also be notified, but please be advised that this has a slight delay. We highly recommend keeping your email open if you are worried you may be outbid in the last second.
