Custom online-auction marketplaces — timed listings, proxy/auto-bidding, watchlists, bidder accounts and automatic winner selection, so lots sell around the clock without a live event.
Sell to the highest bidder, automatically
A timed online auction runs itself — listings open, bidders compete over hours or days, proxy bidding does the work, and the system closes lots and picks winners automatically. It’s perfect when you can’t gather everyone for a live event.
We build online-auction marketplaces around your goods and rules: categories, reserves and increments, bidder accounts, anti-sniping extensions and payment — drawing on our wholesale-marketplace and auction experience.

FAQ
Questions, answered
What’s the difference from a live auction?
An online (timed) auction runs over hours or days with no live auctioneer — bidders compete asynchronously and the system closes lots and picks winners automatically. A live auction is a real-time event. We build both.
Does it support proxy / automatic bidding?
Yes. Bidders can set a maximum and the system bids on their behalf up to it, with anti-sniping time extensions to keep things fair.
Can bidders register and get notified?
Yes. Bidders have accounts with watchlists, bid history and notifications when they’re outbid or an auction is closing.
How are winners and payments handled?
Lots close automatically, winners are selected and notified, and you can collect payment via card or e-wallets with invoices generated.
Can it handle a large catalog of lots?
Yes. We build fast, searchable catalogs (our wholesale-marketplace background), so large numbers of lots and categories are no problem.
