How The Marketplace Auctions works
Bid with confidence. Sell with control. Transparent timed auctions designed for Florida — and built to scale across the United States.
For buyers
Find, inspect and win assets in five simple steps.
Create your free account
Register with your full name, email, phone and address. Verify your email and you're ready to bid.
Browse & inspect
Search live auctions by category, location or keyword. Book an inspection slot before you bid, or buy with confidence using detailed photos, video and seller terms.
Pay your deposit (when required)
Some sellers require a refundable deposit before bidding. Pay securely through our integrated gateway — your funds are held safely until the auction ends.
Place bids or set a max bid
Enter your maximum bid and our proxy engine bids the lowest amount needed to keep you in the lead, one increment at a time. Late bids trigger anti-sniping extensions so no one snipes at the last second.
Win & pay
If you're the high bidder when the clock hits zero, you win. Complete payment through your dashboard and arrange pickup or shipping with the seller.
For sellers
List, review, promote and get paid — all from one dashboard.
List your asset
Start from your seller dashboard. Add title, category, condition, description, location and up to 40 photos or videos. Set your schedule, reserve price and deposit rules.
Submit for admin review
Your listing moves from Draft → Submitted. Our team reviews photos, details and terms, then approves it for scheduling.
Go live
Once approved, your auction is scheduled and promoted to buyers. Bidders can book inspections, pay deposits and place proxy bids.
Get paid
When the auction ends, the winner is finalized automatically. Payment is collected and your proceeds are released according to seller terms.
