How to sell stud animals 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.
• Only advertise stud animals if you can support the claim with the correct stud society or registration records.
• List the animal in the exact stud route so that serious breeding buyers can find it correctly.
• Make the pedigree, society registration, and other breeding credentials easy to verify from the lot description and attachments.

Listing flow

1. Sign in with an approved individual seller profile and start a new stud animal 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.
• Stud auctions work like other live auctions, but the credibility of the supporting breeding records is especially important.
• Keep all buyer follow-up inside the platform after the auction closes.
• 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.
