— WINNING BID CONFIRMATION —
Once the hammer falls, every bidder immediately knows where they stand.
Successful or not, every bidder receives a personalised winning bid confirmation. For won items, the buyer selects the delivery method, reviews the pro forma invoice and corrects the billing address or VAT ID online. Conditional awards, post-auction sales and reconsignment are handled electronically — at the touch of a button, with automatic approval updates sent to the consignor.
◆ Successful bid & rejection

— FOR THE BUYER —
One glance — and everything else is handled independently.
The winning bid confirmation shows every bid and its result. For the won items, the buyer manages the remaining steps online.
All results at a glance
Every bid has a clear result — won or not won. No uncertainty and no need to ask.
Select a delivery method for each item
Collection, shipping or freight forwarding can be selected separately for each won item.
Review and correct the pro forma invoice
The buyer submits the billing address, VAT ID and other details online before the final invoice is created.
— PRO FORMA & DIGITAL CORRECTIONS —
The invoice is correct before it becomes final.
Subsequent changes to the billing address, shipping or additional costs are among the most common reasons for cancelling invoices — and one of the biggest obstacles in the process. The buyer therefore reviews a pro forma invoice first and submits corrections digitally. The final invoice is created using verified data — without cancellation.
Adjust the billing address
Enter a different address or company name directly in the form.
Provide the VAT ID
Correctly record intra-Community supplies and reverse-charge transactions.
Confirm the delivery method
The selected shipping or collection option flows directly into the process.
Clarify additional costs in advance
Shipping, packaging and other charges are finalised before the invoice is issued.
No invoice cancellation
Verified data from the outset — no cancellation or correction invoice and no follow-up calls.
— CONDITIONAL AWARD —
If the reserve is not reached, the consignor decides.
If the highest bid is below the agreed reserve, the item is awarded conditionally. The consignor’s approval is obtained electronically — no phone call and no fax.
1
Bid below the reserve
The highest bid remains below the consignor’s reserve.
2
Conditional award
The item receives the status “conditional”.

— UNSOLD ITEMS —
Not sold? One click decides what happens next.
Items that were not awarded do not have to remain unresolved. There are two options — both electronic and both with an automatic approval update sent to the consignor.
Move to the post-auction sale
The item continues to be offered after the auction as a separate process, clearly marked as a post-auction sale.
↗ Approval update to consignor
Move to the next auction
The item is included again in the upcoming auction without re-entering the master data.
↗ Approval update to consignor
