No monthly fees. You only pay 7.5% when an item sells. Truly risk-free.
Auctium charges 7.5% of the hammer price when a lot sells, and that includes the payment processing fees. No setup fees, no monthly charges, no listing fees. If a lot doesn't sell, you pay nothing — our incentives are completely aligned with yours.
We use Ryft Payments - and all major UK and international cards can be taken. Visa, Mastercard, American Express (Amex), Maestro etc.
Most sellers are up and running within a day or two. Once signed up, our team can help configure your site, apply your branding, and get your first lots live. No lengthy technical implementation required.
Yes, completely. Your site runs with your logo, colours, and branding throughout. Attach your own domain if you have one! Bidders interact with your brand — not Auctium's. We operate entirely in the background.
Absolutely. Because there are no upfront costs, there's no financial risk if fundraising targets fall short — perfect for galas, silent auctions, or annual fundraising sales. Or, of course, a continuous revenue stream when selling ongoing donations.
Yes. Run as many simultaneous timed sales as you need — different themed sales, charity events, seasonal collections — all from a single dashboard. Or simply list items without a timed sale to make life even easier!
Our cross-platform bidder promotion system. When you list lots, they can optionally be shown to bidders across our wider Auctium Network, at no extra charge.
Yes. All data is encrypted in transit via SSL. Auctium is a registered UK company (No. 16015703) and takes data protection seriously. We never sell bidder data to third parties.
Yes — start for free and explore before your first live auction. There's also a live demo site ("Bond Auctions") you can browse right now to see exactly how an Auctium-powered site looks and feels.
Absolutely! If you have an event or fundrasier, or just doing a big clearout of customer returns or excess stock, set up your Auctium site for just the time you need it. It will cost you nothing to run during your 'down time'.
Like all platform software, we are always improving what we offer. If you have a good idea, or there's a show stopper feature missing, get in touch as we'll see what we can do.
Not at present. We feel that turns an auction site into an e-commerce site, and loses the excitement of an auction. There is however a 'Make Offer' function you can optionally use for listings, which keeps the thrill of the auction - and should actually increase the sale price.
Our servers all run on Microsoft's well regarded cloud service, Azure. The data centres are all very secure, and our databases are backed up every hour to a different Azure data centre in the UK.
Auctium is built on a modern, scalable cloud architecture designed for high-performance auctions and secure data handling.
