How to sell machinery on auction if I am an individual

Before you publish

• Make sure the individual 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.
• Use enough photos, a clear description, and honest condition notes before publishing.
• State any registration, licensing, accident, repair, or defect information that a reasonable buyer would need to know.
• If you want reserve protection, set it before the auction starts.

Listing flow

1. Sign in with an approved individual seller profile and start a new machinery listing.
2. 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.
3. Upload clear images, add a factual description, and make sure quantity, age, class, condition, and location are accurate.
4. Set the auction details, opening amount, and reserve price if you want reserve protection. Reserve prices may be hidden from buyers.
5. 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.
• Buyers bid from the buyer side only and all bids are binding.
• If the reserve is not met, the lot can close on a no-sale.
• 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.
