Before you publish
- Make sure the company seller profile has already been verified for the categories you want to trade in.
- Only list goods you lawfully own or are authorised to sell.
- List the machinery in the correct auction machinery branch and describe it fully before the sale goes live.
- Disclose all known faults, the road-registration position if relevant, and whether the machine is ready for immediate use.
- Reserve pricing can be used if the company does not want to sell below a minimum amount.
Listing flow
- Sign in with an approved company seller profile and start a new machinery listing.
- Use the same category flow as the buyer marketplace and the public "What's on offer" tree, selecting each next level until you reach the final commodity, breed, class, or product node.
- Upload clear images, add a factual description, and make sure quantity, age, class, condition, and location are accurate.
- Set the auction details, opening amount, and reserve price if you want reserve protection. Reserve prices may be hidden from buyers.
- Publish the listing and monitor platform notifications, buyer responses, and any follow-up documentation requests.
What happens after listing
- Your listing can appear in the buyer marketplace and on the public browse pages, but public visitors cannot place bids from the public site.
- Buyer and seller communication should stay on the platform so that records, transport discussions, and admin oversight remain in one place.
- Timed bidding happens from the buyer side of the platform and the highest valid bid wins if reserve conditions are satisfied.
- The seller receives the seller invoice after a successful auction outcome.
- Auction bids are binding, the default live window runs for 15 minutes, and bids placed in the last 5 minutes extend the timer by 10 minutes.
- If the reserve is not met, the system can close the lot on a no-sale and notify the affected parties.
