Dear Members
Thank you for using KOMEHYO Auction.
Today, we would like to make an important announcement regarding the re-changing of bidding rules.
■About this review
We have received many comments regarding the current bidding system introduced in February 2025.
In particular, the transparency of the bidding process has decreased, making it more difficult to bid at a drastic price.
● Cases occurred in which bids could not be won over minimum bid price
● Some of the high value items, where price differences tend to open up, tended to have lower bidding prices than expected due to the nature of the rules.
Due to a change in the bidding format, it is no longer possible to determine the amount of money you are entitled to.
No longer able to predict expected bidding price on time when listing an item.
We have received many comments such as, "We are not able to offer a high quality product.
We believe that our mission is to maintain a healthy and attractive auction environment for both buyers and sellers, and after a comprehensive review, we have decided to return to the previous bidding and extension system.
■Future actions
