Bidding for a Guild Trader

Hello! Sorry if this is in the wrong section.

I'm a guildmaster and I was wondering if there's a way to know when you've been outbid for a trader DURING bidding time. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but whenever I bid on a trader, it wasn't until the bid was over that I got a notification saying I'd been outbid. It doesn't make much sense, in my opinion.

Thanks in advance

    It is a blind bid you don't get to see the other bids. You just need to put in a higher bid next time or find a trader that has not been taken

    Thanks for answering. The problem is, how do I know whether I'm putting in too much money or too little? Sorry for my ignorance, but is this a thing? The "blind bid" concept. It's just that I've never seen it in any other game.

    Yes that is the point of a blind bid. It should push people's bids up if they want to secure a particular trader because they do not know what everyone else is bidding.

    News story for the update referring to it being a blind bid
