How to buy miscellaneous items on auction if I have a company

Article 31

Buy through the approved company profile, follow the correct auction route, and complete payment through the platform once the transaction succeeds.

Article 31 Buying

Before you buy

  • Make sure the company buyer profile is fully verified before you try to bid or purchase.
  • Check the seller information, the description, and any disclosures before you commit.
  • Because the category is broad, read the description and included-item notes very carefully.
  • Make sure the bidding user is authorised to commit the company to the purchase.

Buying flow

  1. Sign in with an approved company buyer profile and browse to the miscellaneous item you want.
  2. Use the marketplace tree or the public browse tree to find the exact category, breed, class, or product path.
  3. Open the listing and review the images, description, seller details, price information, and any category-specific disclosures.
  4. Place bids from the buyer side of the platform only. The public browse page is for viewing, not bidding.
  5. Watch your notifications and email for the outcome, invoice, and any next action required from you.

After the transaction

  • Buyer and seller communication should stay on the platform so that records, transport discussions, and admin oversight remain in one place.
  • Keep all payment and delivery discussions on-platform so that the transaction record stays complete.
  • A clear invoice and communication record is especially important in miscellaneous trade because the items are less standardised.
  • The same reserve, timer-extension, and no-sale rules still apply.
  • Auction bids are binding and the highest valid bid at closing becomes the winning bid when the reserve, if any, has been met.
  • The default live auction window runs for 15 minutes and bids placed in the last 5 minutes extend the timer by 10 minutes.
