🔹 **Auction Influencing:** Wow is this a hot one.
> Do not say "out" "last" "gg" "final bid" "You can have it" or any other phrases that gives off the impression that you're done bidding. *If you're done bidding just walk away. No need for the extra commentary.* Feel free to say "gg" after the auction ends though.
> I even see members threatening other players to not outbid them. Like?? You okay there? So telling others not to outbid you is auction influencing but at the same time sellers cannot beg other members to bid on their auction.
> Do not state the price of the pokemon being auctioned.
> The easiest way to not auction influence is to not talk in auction channels. Keep the channels to bidding only. I'm aware that we allow light chatter but if you chat you run the risk of auction influencing.
🔸 **Bidding without Enough Balance**
> I thought this was common sense but I guess not. You can only bid with coins you have currently or else it will be invalid. No one wants to wait for you to get a loan, release duplicates, or whatever. It's inconsiderate to the seller, the other bidders, and the staff member who will end up overriding your bid.
