generic marketplaces
weren't built for you

If you're a charity running fundraising auctions, a retailer offloading returns, or an auction house moving online, you've probably tried eBay, Facebook, or a generic e-commerce platform — and hit the same walls.

  • Your brand disappears. Buyers see eBay, not you. No control over the look, the checkout, or the customer relationship.
  • The fees stack up. Listing fees, final value fees, payment fees. On low-margin returns or donated stock, there's nothing left.
  • The rules don't fit. Charity auctions, sealed bids, reserve logic. Generic platforms either can't handle them or make you fight to.

FAQ

questions answered

  • How does Auctium's pricing work?

    Auctium charges 7.5% of the hammer price when a lot sells. 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.

  • How long does it take to get my site live?

    Most sellers are up and running within a few days. Once signed up, our team helps configure your site, apply your branding, and get your first lots live. No lengthy technical implementation required.

  • Will my auction site look like my brand?

    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.

  • Is Auctium suitable for charities?

    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.

  • Can I run multiple timed sales at once?

    Yes. Run as many simultaneous timed sales as you need — different themed sales, charity events, seasonal collections — all from a single dashboard.

  • What is the Auctium Network?

    Our cross-platform bidder promotion system. When you list lots, they can be surfaced to bidders across our wider network who are actively looking for auction opportunities — at no extra charge.

  • Is my data and my bidders' data secure?

    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.

  • Can I try it before committing?

    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.
