# Default Auction Settings

Save the settings from an auction you are creating as the defaults for future auctions. The saved values pre-fill every time you create a new auction.

***

## Saving Defaults

Defaults are saved directly from the **Create Auction** page.

1. Go to **Auctions** and click **Create Auction**, then configure the settings you want to reuse.
2. In the **Default settings** section, check **Save as default for new auctions**.
3. Click **Create**. The auction is created and your current settings are saved as the new defaults.

> **Note:** Defaults are saved when the auction is created. The checkbox records whatever values are currently entered on the form, so make sure they reflect the defaults you want before creating.

***

## Configurable Defaults

* **Start Price** — Fixed amount or percentage of the product price.
* **Round To** — Rounding applied to percentage-based start prices.
* **Bid Increment** — Fixed amount or percentage.
* **Soft Close** — Enable/disable, Time Left, and Extend By.
* **Automatic Bids** — Enable/disable proxy bidding by default.
* **Make an Offer** — The default offer rule applied to new auctions.
* **Buyer's Premium** — The default product fee applied to new auctions.

***

## How Defaults Work

* Defaults apply to all new auctions created after they are saved.
* Existing auctions are not affected.
* Any default can be overridden on a per-auction basis before you create the auction.
* Saving new defaults overwrites the previous ones.
