Item details shown to bidders
In Item details, add Title, the optional Subtitle and Category, Description, Starting Amount, optional Reserve Amount, Bid Increment and Images. These are bidder-facing details.
Put restrictions that affect the prize in the public description, including expiry dates, age or location limits, booking requirements and whether collection is required. These details appear before a bidder selects Place Bid.
You can upload several JPG, PNG or GIF images up to 10 MB each. Reorder them to make the first image the primary one, and check its crop in the compact and item-page previews.
Set the bidding amounts
- Starting Amount: the lowest first bid you are willing to accept.
- Bid Increment: the minimum increase between bids.
- Reserve Amount: an optional minimum amount that must be met for the item to be considered sold.
These values determine which amounts Aucly accepts. Review them before launch; price fields are locked once the item has received bids. If you need a minimum sale price, read Reserve Pricing before enabling Reserve Amount.
Prize admin stays private
Open Prize admin for information the organising team needs after the auction. This tab contains:
- Internal notes for organisers.
- Donor name, Donor contact name, Donor email and Donor phone.
- Prize location and Fulfilment instructions for handing the prize over.
- Private attachments, such as vouchers, tickets or redemption instructions.
These fields are not shown on public auction or item pages. Nothing is sent automatically. From Collect Payments, choose which fulfilment details and private attachments to include in a winner email.
If an item is not ready
Return to the auction's item list and edit the lot before scheduling. Missing bidding amounts or incompatible reserve values prevent a valid bidding sequence.
Read Reserve Pricing for valid amount examples and what happens when a reserve is not met.
