How AuctionsNOW works.
Built for buyers and sellers - no hidden fees, no monthly subscriptions, no per-listing surprises. You list free. We only earn when you sell.
Built around how people actually buy and sell.
The old way of buying and selling stopped working for real people. We listened - and built something simpler.
Tens of thousands of buyers
Active return buyers across Australia who already trust the platform.
Free to list
No upfront fees. No per-listing charges. List as many items as you have to sell.
Verified members
Every buyer ID-checked once. No anonymous bidding, no time-wasters.
Live bidding with vision
Bid from any device - audio + video, real-time. We bring the saleroom to your screen.
Settlement in 3 days
Funds land fast. Freight quoted at checkout, Australia-wide.
Real humans, not a queue
If something goes sideways, you ring the founder. Not a call centre - him.
The whole fee structure on one page.
No subscriptions. No listing fees. No fine print. One flat 5% commission on sale - that's it.
List as many items as you have to sell. We only earn if your lot sells. No upfront cost, no monthly plans, no per-listing fees.
A flat 5% buyer premium is added at checkout on winning bids. Settlement runs in 3 working days through our escrow trust account.
No special tiers, no negotiated rates. The same flat 5% whether you list one item or a hundred - agents get full vendor tools at no extra cost.
No subscription to use the platform. Run your own auction, livestream bidding, the whole kit - free to set up. We charge 5% only when a lot sells.
All percentages are exclusive of GST. Optional services (premium placement, freight quoting, dispute mediation) are flagged transparently before you commit - we'll never quietly add a line item.
Funds held in escrow until both sides are happy.
On every sale, the buyer's payment lands in a regulated escrow trust account - not the seller's bank, not ours. The seller knows the money is there before they release the item; the buyer knows it can be unwound if the listing wasn't as described.
- Buyer pays into the escrow trust account within 24 hours of winning the lot.
- Seller hands over on collection or freight pickup.
- Funds released to the seller once the buyer confirms receipt and condition.
- Disputes mediated by our team within 5 business days.
Escrow funds sit in a regulated Australian trust account, fully separated from operating capital and audited quarterly.
The fastest way to get a listing live.
Every shortcut we could think of, built in. Paste a link, scan a VIN, drop in your photos - we do the rest.
Fetch from URL
Already listed somewhere else? Paste the URL and we pull the title, description, year/make/model and photo gallery automatically. Edit once, publish.
VIN lookup
Type a 17-character VIN and we auto-fill year, make, model, body class and fuel type. One line of data does five minutes of typing.
YouTube Auto Upload
Upload a video and it's auto uploaded on our YouTube Channel for max. reach - buyers see it in motion alongside the photos.
Drag-drop photo gallery
Drag up to 12 photos straight onto the form. Each one uploads as you pick - safe even on a patchy connection, no waiting on a giant batch.
Auto image optimization
We resize, compress and reformat every photo automatically so your listing loads fast on any connection - without you doing anything.
Accounting built in
Every sale tracked. Buyer invoices, seller statements, GST line items, freight charges - all in one ledger. No spreadsheet, no shoe-box of receipts.
Auto invoices & credit notes
Invoices and credit statements generated and emailed automatically when a sale settles. Refunds, withdrawals, GST adjustments - all handled.
Saved as you go
Every field saves to a draft the moment you type it - close the tab mid-step and pick it back up days later from any device. Including photos.
We ship updates fortnightly.
New features land first for active members. Got an idea, or something you wish worked differently? Email us at support@auctionsnow.com.au - every message lands on the founder's desk.
