How to List an Auction

Step 1: Creating an Auction via the Dashboard

1. Navigate to the Dashboard:

In the top-right corner of the platform, click on Dashboard.

2. Go to the Selling Tab:

In the left-hand menu, click Selling.

3. Click + New Auction:

In the Selling section, you’ll see a blue button labeled + New Auction. Click it to start creating a new auction.

4. Complete the Auction Creation Form:

Fill in the required information for your auction:
Title: Choose a brief and clear title for your auction. If you need help, we can assist and revise it for you.
Category: Select the appropriate category for your item from the dropdown menu.
Quantity: Indicate the total number of units available in the batch.
Goods Location: Specify where the item is stored or the pickup location.
Currency: Select the currency for the auction. Options include EUR or USD.
Starting Price: Set the lowest acceptable price. Be realistic, as you can change the price until the first bid is placed.
Bid Step: Define the minimum increment between bids.
Auction End Time: Choose the date and time when the auction will end.
Description: Provide any additional relevant information about the item.
Reference: A unique reference number (optional), visible only to you.

5. Save the Auction:

After filling out all the fields, click Create Auction to save and submit the auction form.
By publishing, you accept our terms and conditions. Please note that a success fee of 3% (max. 290 €) will be charged upon a successful sale. Learn more about our fees.

Step 2: Upload Files and Pictures

1. Upload Items Data:

If needed, upload a file (Excel, PDF, or another text format) containing detailed information about the items being auctioned. This could include details like make, model, condition, and other specifications. This will help buyers evaluate your auction better.
Drag and drop the files or click Browse to upload from your device.
We help customize Excel files, adjusting them to fit the platform requirements.

2. Upload Pictures:

You can upload up to 15 images to visually showcase your item.
Drag and drop the images or click Browse to upload them from your device.

Step 3: Request Auction Activation

1. Review Your Auction:

After creating the auction, a message will inform you that the auction has been created but not yet activated.

2. Request Activation:

After uploading your files and pictures, click the Request activation button.
A confirmation dialog will appear, asking you to ensure that all auction details are accurate and that the data file has been uploaded (if necessary).

3. Confirm Activation Request:

Confirm that you agree with the terms and conditions and then press Request activation to submit your auction for review by the platform.

Step 4: Auction in Review

1. Activation Request Confirmation:

After submitting the activation request, a message will confirm that the activation request has been submitted, and the auction is under review.
The auction status will now show as In Review.

2. Await Approval:

The platform will review the auction, and once approved, the auction will become active and open for bidding. During this time, you can view the auction details (e.g., title, category, quantity, location, price), but the auction will not yet be open for bidding.

"Don’t hesitate to submit your auction—no listing will go live without our thorough review, corrections, and validation."
