Step-by-step Instructions

Creating an Auction

Log in to your admin account, go to Auctions.
- You will see an overview of all auctions. You can also view Active or Finished auctions separately.
Click on Create New Auction.
Fill in the general information:
- Choose private or public auction.
- Give the auction an internal name.
- Give the auction a name visible to customers. Don’t forget to translate it into the supported languages.
- Choose auction extension time (automatically adds a few minutes to the end time when a bid is placed in the final moments, preventing last-second "sniping").
- Choose auction end time gap ("soft close" or "extended bidding," where the end time of an online auction is automatically prolonged if a bid is placed within a set period before its scheduled close).
- Choose the currency.
- Add the main contact.
- Set the auction viewing start time, auction start time, and auction end time:
  - Viewing Start: When items in the auction become available for viewing online or on-site
  - Auction Start: When bidding officially opens
  - Auction End: When bidding closes and no further bids are accepted
- Check that the website service is correct.
- Add a description.
