Creating a live auction listing
Creating a live auction listing is simple and can be done by the app or website.
Steps:
Go to your Seller Dashboard -> Click 'List Item' -> Select 'Auction'
Images:
Take a photo or upload a photo from your camera roll. We recommend not importing more than 5 images at a time.
Tap the plus sign to add more photos. To rearrange photos hold down the image and drag it.
Listing Details:
Enter in your Title & Description
Variants (optional)
Enter Starting Price
Set 'Only Available For Live' to ON (this is important, if it's turned off, you'll be creating a multi-day auction and you won't see the ability to turn on pre-bids)
Pre-Bids: turn pre-bids on if you want buyers to be able to pre-bid. Check out pre-bid guide for more details.
Select Auction Duration: 60 sec, 30 sec, 20 sec, 15 sec, 10 sec.
Visibility: if you are a seller in multiple marketplaces, visibility is how you control which marketplace your listing is listed in.
Tags: select the marketplace tags that correspond to the listing.

List item!
Listing an auction that is "only available for live" does not automatically load it into your scheduled livestream. You will still need to pre-load you listings into your scheduled live. Need help? View the pre-load guide.
