Earn from every auction through multiple revenue channels.
Charge sellers a percentage of the final sale price. Industry standard is 10-20% for auction houses. Sliding scale based on value works well - lower % for high-value items.
Add a buyer's premium on top of the hammer price. Typically 15-25%. This is standard practice in the auction industry and buyers expect it.
Charge sellers to list lots in your auctions. Ensures serious sellers only and covers catalog preparation costs. Can be waived for consignment deals.
Offer premium positioning for important lots. Homepage features, email highlights, social promotion - all at premium rates.
Offer shipping services for buyers. Add handling fees and markup on shipping costs. Convenience service that buyers appreciate and pay for.
Reach more bidders by connecting with other auction sites.
List your auctions on multiple network sites simultaneously. More exposure means more bidders, higher final prices for sellers, and more commission for you.
Bidders registered on one network site can bid on auctions across all sites. Larger bidder pools drive competition and prices higher.
Access the network's shared database of past auction results. Provide accurate estimates to sellers using real market data from across the network.
Partner with specialist auction sites in the network. Your classic car goes to the car auction site, your paintings to the art auction site - reaching the right buyers.
