The auction system is live! (BETA stage)

We’re happy to announce that we’ve resumed auctions! Now anyone can launch their own auction, in any category. Please remember that this new feature is in BETA stages, so if you find any bugs, please report them in this topic. We cannot promise you that your auctions will run smoothly, and we reserve the right to remove any auction if needed. We have removed the auction setup fees, also. You can now launch as many auctions as you want.

Before you begin!

  • We strongly advise you to review our auction documentation pages.
  • Make sure to learn about our auction fees, as they’re different from regular checkout ticket fees.
  • You cannot have two listings for the same asset/service. So, if you launch an auction for something that’s already listed, please close the listing.
  • Only ID verified members can start auctions.

Have question?
If Social media property is listed regulary and we want to start auction with that same property,
Is that counting as double post? Or it is just if we open 2 auction with same property

Yes that counts as a double. If you start an auction please close your regular listing.

Thanks, will do it rn

Is there any listed category with name auction where you can see all at once?

At the moment there is not, though we will take that idea into consideration!

Currently, all auctions are tagged with an “Auction” tag and can be accessed here: Topics tagged auction

We have made the AUCTION tag more visible today! All you need to do is click the AUCTION tag to see all available auctions.

To anyone planning to start a new auction, here are two tips:

  1. Leave screenshots for the second post/reply.
  2. Starting price = set as low as possible.

Remember, the reserve price is what protects you. The starting price always should be low to entice bidding. With every bid, your topic gets bumped to the top, so if you keep the initial price low, you will get additional exposure.

This is great now :+1::+1:

Currently, we’re tracking a bug on Safari browsers (and our mobile app) that causes distortions when the checkout button is clicked. Working on a fix.
