What is a Penny Auction?
Penny auctions are a type of auction where each bid increases the price by a small fixed amount (often just $0.01) and extends the auction timer. When the timer reaches zero, the last person to place a bid wins the item at the final price, which is typically a fraction of the retail value.
Pixelllo offers an exciting opportunity to win high-end products at incredible discounts. Our auctions are transparent, fair, and designed to create an engaging experience for all participants.

Bidding Strategies & Tips
Timing is Everything
Pay attention to auction end times. Placing bids when there's less competition can increase your chances of winning.
Use Auto-Bidder
Set up the auto-bidder for auctions you really want to win. It will place bids automatically according to your settings.
Bid Budget Management
Set a budget for each auction and stick to it. Remember to account for both bid costs and the final auction price.
Watch Before Bidding
Observe a few auctions before jumping in. Understanding bidding patterns can help you develop your strategy.
Selective Bidding
Focus on a few auctions rather than spreading your bids too thin across many different items.
Consider Competition
Check how many users are bidding and watching an auction. Items with less attention may offer better winning chances.
Frequently Asked Questions
In traditional auctions, only the winner pays. In penny auctions, each bid costs a small fee, which is how participants can win items at such steep discounts. The final price is determined by the number of bids placed, with each bid typically increasing the price by just $0.01.
Bids are consumed when placed, regardless of whether you win the auction or not. This is part of the penny auction model and why winners can get such significant discounts. Think of bids as the cost of participation, similar to buying lottery tickets.
Each auction has a countdown timer. When a bid is placed, the timer is extended (typically by 10-20 seconds). This gives other users a chance to place additional bids. The auction ends when the timer reaches zero, and the last bidder wins the item.
