It also includes auction-specific features like anti-sniping, variable bid increments, live ajax bid refreshing, and live bid browser notifications, different types of sorting. Auctions for WooCommerce is a fast, secure, efficient auction plugin that is optimized for high traffic and can handle hundreds of concurrent bidders.</p>
