Learn the basics of creating an auction on AuctionNinja.
Select Auctions.
After selecting Auctions, sellers can select “add new” to create a new sale. Before doing that, it’s useful to become familiar with the Manage Auctions page.
The MANAGE AUCTIONS page allows sellers to:
- Look at past and current auctions
- See useful auction history metrics with AUCTION REPORT SUMMARY capabilities.
- Make auctions live
- Click ADD NEW to see the “add auction” screen.
- Enter the AUCTION NAME
- Select an END DATE
- Set the buyer’s premium
- Make sure the sales tax rate is correct
- Decide how many items you want to close at one time (1, 2, or 3)
- Make sure your sale has a rep: whoever is responsible for responding to bidder questions
Customize the auction further with extra options:
- Select a sale type
- Set a minimum price for all lots in the auction
- Post auction as coming soon (no bidding)
- Choose how bidders contact you
