Why an item may return to the queue

If no valid bid is placed during a Minute Wars live minute, the item returns to the back of the queue.

Empty live rounds recycle

If no valid bid is placed during the live minute, the item returns to the back of today's queue for another chance later — it is not marked unsold solely for an empty live round.

This keeps the live room moving while giving the listing another opportunity to find a bidder.

When it does not recycle this way

If there is a valid high bid when the minute ends and any reserve rules are satisfied, the item sells to the winner for checkout.

If a reserve is set and not met, the listing follows the platform's unsold path rather than an empty-live recycle.

Featured placement is not a sale guarantee

Featured placement moves queue position; it does not guarantee a sale. After an empty-live recycle, the item goes to the back of the queue like any other recycled listing.
