Save the first draft
Select Create new auction on the organiser dashboard. The Basic info step contains Title, Auction URL path (optional), Description (optional) and the expandable Auction Terms & Conditions (optional) field.
Auction currency is not part of this form. It is an organisation-wide setting under Organisation settings and applies to all of the organisation's auctions.
Appearance is an optional second step with Banner image, Default layout, Colour scheme and Title display, plus desktop and mobile previews. Select Create draft auction to save.
The draft has no opening or closing time, so saving it does not start bidding. Open Edit Auction from the auction page whenever you need to change either Basic info or Appearance.
The public page shows the title, description, terms and appearance. The optional path becomes part of its address and can contain only letters, numbers and hyphens; each auction needs a different one. Opening and closing times are added later under Schedule Auction.
What the Appearance preview shows
The desktop and mobile previews are indicative views of the same saved appearance, not separate versions.
Adjust the banner focal point if its subject is cropped, or select Clear image to remove it. Uploads must be supported images smaller than 10 MB.
Duplicating an earlier auction
Duplicate creates another draft from an existing auction. Before scheduling it, review Basic info, Appearance and every copied item for old dates, sponsors, restrictions or unavailable prizes.
The next screen
After saving, return to the auction page to add items and review the bidder-facing page. Schedule & Go Live takes you through hosting confirmation and then to the schedule form; it does not appear as part of the create-auction modal.
