Running a tender from start to finish
A tender is a bidding event for one or more lots.
- Add your lots (rough or polished), with photos and details. The reserve price is never shown to buyers.
- Create a tender, choose its opening and closing time, and add lots to it. It becomes visible to buyers once you publish it.
- Buyers place one sealed bid per lot before the closing time. You cannot see any bid until the tender closes.
- Once it closes, review the bids on each lot, decline any you don't want, and confirm a winner or mark the lot unsold.
- Press "Finish and notify buyers" once every lot has a result. Each buyer gets one email saying whether they won, never the price or why another bid was declined.
You can export the confirmed results as a CSV if your plan includes it.
