Compare Mode

Last updated April 2026

What is Compare Mode?

Compare Mode lets you select two listings and view them side-by-side in a detailed comparison overlay with live-updating timers. It's a quick way to weigh up two auctions before deciding where to place your bid.

Starting a Comparison

Click the Compare button in the toolbar to enter Compare Mode.

Click on two listing cards to select them. Selected cards show numbered badges — 1 and 2 — so you can see the order of selection.

The Comparison Overlay

Once two items are selected, the comparison overlay opens showing both listings with their images, titles, prices, bid counts, and countdown timers. The timers update every second in real time, so you always know exactly how long is left on each auction.

Arrow Indicators

Green arrows indicate what is better for you as a buyer:

Lower price gets a green arrow — you pay less
Fewer bids gets a green arrow — less competition
More time remaining gets a green arrow — more time to decide

This makes it easy to see at a glance which listing has the advantage in each category.

FIFO Selection

If you already have two items selected and click a third, the first selection is replaced (First In, First Out). This lets you quickly cycle through comparisons without needing to deselect anything manually — just keep clicking new cards to compare them against your most recent selection.

Mobile View

On smaller screens, the comparison overlay stacks vertically instead of side-by-side. This makes both listings easy to read without horizontal scrolling, and all the same arrow indicators and live timers are still visible.

Tip: Compare Mode works great with Auto-Refresh enabled, so you can watch two auctions update in real time.
