Because the YITH plugin is a WooCommerce addon, you can list auction items the same way you would add products to your online store.

Step 4: Manage your auctions
The YITH plugin allows you to choose an auction start time on your product page. This way, you can choose the best time to list and end your auction.
Once the auction has started, any registered user can bid on an item. On the individual auction pages, you can see the following details by default: the current highest bid, the time remaining, the auction end time, and the bid button.

The main benefit of the YITH plugin is that it gives you complete control over your bids. You can easily delete any bid on your auction listing page by accessing your WordPress dashboard. All you need to do is click on the Delete Bid button on what you don’t want to display on your auction page.
You can also set a “Buy It Now” price on your auction listings. This allows users to purchase your items immediately.
All users who have participated in an auction will receive email updates about each new bid, auction grace time, auction end, etc. When the auctioned item ends, an email will be sent to the auction winner to complete payment for the purchase of the product.
