Creating an auction is a multi-phase process. Phases 0 and 1 cover the initial setup — selecting the vehicle and entering basic details.
Phase 0: Vehicle Selection
- Go to Auctions → Create Auction
- Select a vehicle from your inventory (or add a new one)
- Confirm the vehicle details are accurate
Phase 1: Auction Details
- Title — The headline for your auction listing
- Description — Detailed description of the vehicle, its condition, history, and highlights
- Reserve Price — The minimum price you'll accept (hidden from bidders). Set to $0 for no reserve.
- Starting Bid — The opening bid amount
- Duration — How long the auction runs (typically 7 days)
- Photos — Upload detailed photos (exterior, interior, engine, undercarriage, etc.)
After Phase 1
Your auction is saved as a draft. Continue to Phase 2 for verification and submission.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I save and come back later?
Yes. Drafts are saved automatically. Return to My Listings to continue where you left off.
How many photos should I include?
More is better. Aim for 20-50 high-quality photos showing every angle, interior details, engine bay, tires, and any flaws.
