Reserve met
A status that flips to true when the highest bid reaches or exceeds the seller's reserve price. Once met, the auction will result in a sale at close.
What changes
Bidders see a ‘reserve met’ indicator on the auction page once the threshold is crossed — that’s their signal that further bidding is binding (the high bid wins, regardless of who they are).
Reserve still hidden
The exact reserve number stays private after it’s met — only the binary status flips.
