## Shop Auction: Max Bid & Buy It Now

Shop Auction (Long-Form Auctions) now offers Max Bid and Buy It Now, giving buyers more ways to participate and sellers more opportunities to turn interest into sales.

* **Max Bid:** Buyers can set the maximum amount they’re willing to pay, and Palmstreet automatically bids for them when needed—helping interested buyers stay competitive without constantly monitoring the auction.
* **Buy It Now:** Set an optional Buy It Now price to give buyers the opportunity to purchase an item immediately instead of waiting for the auction to end.

## Hold the Mystery

Sellers can now turn on **Hold the Mystery** to keep Mystery Box results hidden until you’re ready to reveal them during your LIVE show. Once items are claimed, results can be revealed one at a time or all at once, giving you more control over the reveal and helping build suspense and excitement throughout your show.

## Desktop Streaming

You can now start and manage your LIVE shows directly from [Seller Hub](https://seller.palmstreet.app/) on desktop. Go LIVE using your **web camera** or connect **OBS Studio** for a more advanced streaming setup. During your LIVE, you can monitor performance in real time, send comments from desktop, and track your LIVE activity—all in one place. This update makes it easier to stream from your computer and manage your LIVE with more control, while keeping everything centralized.

## New Buyer Coupon

You can now set **New Buyer Coupon**, a new seller coupon type that can only be claimed by buyers who have never purchased from you before. You no longer need to manually attach New Buyer Coupon to LIVE shows and Purges—eligible buyers can discover and claim them automatically, helping attract first-time customers and increase new buyer conversion.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** If a buyer claims a New Buyer Coupon but does not place an order before it expires, they can claim it again as long as they have not yet made a purchase from you.
