Below are two helpful videos on creating your user account and navigating the auction platform.
There are no bidder numbers utilized on this new, innovative online auction platform. Each user will have one account under their email address (using the password you set up when you registered) that can be utilized for all auctions, across all species. Please see the question and video tutorial directly above for details on how to create a user account.
We require each user to post a credit card verification to ensure that each of our bidders is a valid, qualified bidder. This verification method has been implemented for the protection and security of each of our bidders. Each bidder knows that all bidders are valid and that they have met the same requirements that you have to be able to bid online. The credit card verification process is completely secure and PCI complaint. This is the only procedure available to bid online. See our Privacy Policy for more details.
To view your account click the person icon on right side of the screen and click My Account. Within the Account page, you have the ability to view and edit your profile, password, interests, watchlist, notification preferences, as well as billing and payment information for your account.
Under the Preferences tab, you’ll need to verify your phone number before you can place any bids on the platform. This step helps ensure secure and accurate communication during auctions.
You can also manage which notifications you’d like to receive. Here’s a breakdown of each option:
Autobid: Notifies you when an automatic bid has been placed on your behalf (if you’ve set a max bid).
Outbid: Alerts you when someone has outbid you.
New Max Bid: Confirms that your max bid has been increased.
Winner Notify: Lets you know you’ve won an auction.
New Payment Notify: Confirms when a payment is received or due.
Under the Watchlist tab, you can quickly and easily view any lots you’ve added to your Watchlist.
Under the Invoices tab, you can make payments via the invoice tab utilizing the credit/debit card on file and/or an ACH. Select the invoice you would like to pay, and then the payment type (a card on file or ACH), and your payment will be processed immediately.
A Watchlist is comprised of individual lots you would like to "watch" within current and/or upcoming auctions. Your Watchlist can contain items from one auction or across multiple auctions and species. You can add as many or as few items as you’d like. Once an auction has ended, the items will automatically be removed from your Watchlist.
To add items to your Watchlist, click on the star icon at the bottom right corner of each lot or on the right side of the screen next to the bid button (on lot view). As items are successfully added to your Watchlist, a green box will appear in the upper right-hand corner of your screen with this notification: “Lot x has been added to your Watchlist.”
