Listings
If you're looking for tips and tricks on creating a great listing – check out our seller guides.
Listing types
Auction
- Sellers can set a start price and specify a reserve. A Buy Now can also be added.
- Members place bids – bids will begin at the start price, and may need to reach a reserve price. If a Buy Now is added, this can be selected at any time, until the bids exceed the Buy Now.
- If the reserve is met, the highest bidder is the winner. If the Buy Now is accepted, the auction will close right away.
Classified
Classified sales happen off-site, and are used for property, motors, certain machinery and animals.
- Sellers create a listing and set an asking price.
- Interested members contact the seller directly.
- Once an agreement has been reached, the seller withdraws the listing.
Services
- Advertisers set up a listing to offer services.
- Members contact advertisers directly.
- Members can review their experience.

Viewing a listing
You can offer viewings for Property and Motors listings.
We don’t offer viewings for Marketplace listings, as there is a potential for trades to be completed offsite – feedback can’t be given, and buyers aren’t covered by Buyer Protection.
