Single Seller Auctions
A single seller auction (otherwise known as a b2c auction) is one that only has one seller. This means that you, the site owner, either has or has access to a large inventory of items which other people want. You can then list these items on your website and auction off to the public.
This could be an inherited stock of antique statues, your childhood comic book collection, stock from a bankrupt business or just surplus stock that your company doesn't need any more. Our hosted auctions give you the chance to create your own website and auction off your items to new homes around the world.
