Making an Offer

Magic Eden offers you the unique opportunity to place unlimited bids on NFTs with ease. Follow these steps to understand the process:

Deposit Funds to the Bidding Wallet

To begin, deposit an amount, such as 5 Sol or any preferred value, into your bidding wallet. This initial deposit will enable you to place unlimited bids at 5 Sol or below for any NFT you desire. Surprisingly, you could have over 100 Sol worth of bids active while only investing 5 Sol in your bidding wallet!

Placing Bids

Once your bidding wallet is funded, you can start placing unlimited bids on NFTs. Be sure to select the correct option to utilize this feature properly. By doing so, you can place bids without incurring any charges. Feel free to repeat this process as many times as you like until a bid is accepted or you withdraw funds from the bidding wallet.

What Happens When an Offer Is Accepted?

Let's explore the outcome when one of your offers gets accepted:

If your bid for 5 Sol is accepted, the 5 Sol will be deducted from your bidding wallet, rendering your other bids inactive due to "insufficient funds." However, don't worry! You still have options to fund the remaining offers.

Funding Options

Click on the three dots next to your bidding wallet to reveal the funding options. Here are the available choices:

  • Fund All Offers: This option allows you to fund all remaining offers with a single click.
    • Fund Highest Offer: If you prefer to prioritize the highest offer, this option will fund only that particular bid.
      • Fund Specific Offers: You can also manually fund individual offers based on your preference.
