General marketplace

WordPress auction marketplace theme
Launch your own online auction marketplace.
Bidding, Buy It Now, watchlists, seller feedback, categories and payments, all ready to go. Your members buy and sell. You keep the fees.
Own the marketplace. Keep every listing fee and every final value fee.
One theme. Any kind of auction site.
Collectibles & cards
Trading cards, coins, stamps and memorabilia, where bidding wars drive prices up.
Cars & parts
Timed vehicle auctions with reserve prices and anti-sniping, plus a parts section.
Art & antiques
Galleries and estate sellers list one-of-a-kind pieces with reserves and seller feedback.
Charity & school auctions
Run fundraising auctions for a club, church or school, with every bid tracked.
Local buy & sell
A marketplace for one town or region, with pickup locations on every listing.
Everything an auction marketplace needs
Timed auctions
Live countdowns, starting prices, bid increments and reserve prices.
Automatic bidding
Bidders set a maximum and the site bids for them, one increment at a time.
Buy It Now
Sellers add a fixed price. Buyers can grab the item instantly until bidding takes over.
Anti-sniping
Late bids extend the auction, so every bidder gets a fair chance.
Watchlist
Members save items with one click and track them from their account.
Seller feedback
Buyers and sellers rate each other after a sale. Star ratings show on every listing.
Categories & search
Nested categories, a "search for anything" bar, condition and price filters, and sorting.
Sell from the front end
Members list items with photos in a few steps. No admin access needed.
Member accounts
Bids, wins, listings, watchlist, payments and profile in one dashboard.
Email alerts
Outbid, won, reserve not met, welcome and ending-soon emails.
