How long does the auction run?

The auction is set to run for an initial period of seven days. For example, if the auction starts on Monday, the auction will end on the following Monday. Auctions will only be scheduled to start on business days (Monday through Friday).

If there is a bid for an auction on the seventh day, the auction will continue to run beyond the initial seven days. An auction can only close when there has not been a change in the bid for 24 hours. This ensures that bidders from all time zones around the world have the opportunity to respond to an outbid message before the auction close.

Likewise, if there has not been a change in the auction for your domain name for 24 hours, the auction will close, even if the auction only lasts a couple of days.
