BoatTradeHub.com: Complete Guide to Auctions

Auction Guide

Our AI-powered auction hub is a unique way to sell quickly and attract serious buyers through competitive bidding.

1. Creating an Auction Listing

Choose “Auction” when setting up your listing.

Set your starting bid and a reserve price (the minimum you’re willing to accept).

Choose your auction duration, and once live, bidders will compete until the auction ends.

2. Bidding in Auctions

Buyers can place bids at any time before the auction ends. Each bid increases the price, and bidders are notified if they’re outbid.

A countdown timer shows when the auction will end, and the highest bid at the end wins.

3. Winning and Completing an Auction

When the auction ends, the highest bidder is legally bound to complete the purchase. The seller is also obligated to sell at the winning bid price.

Payment is made through our secure platform, and the seller and buyer can then arrange transfer or delivery.
