About AuctionMethod
AuctionMethod is powerful auction software made for auctioneers, businesses, and nonprofits who need more control, flexibility, and data ownership than basic platforms can offer. You can run secure, branded auctions right from your own white-labelled website and handle everything in one place—from inventory and bidding to bidder accounts and payments.
Built by auctioneers for auctioneers, AuctionMethod gives you the tools to set up events faster, cut down on manual work, and offer a smooth experience for bidders, consignors, and your team. It supports many types of auctions and lets you manage and present them your way. Whether you're running weekly sales, fundraising events, or large multi-category auctions, the platform fits your workflow. With real-time updates, reusable templates, and mobile tools, you can move from item intake to live auction quickly—without losing accuracy or control.
Supported Formats Include:
• Timed online auctions
• Live webcast and simulcast events
• Fixed-price / Buy-Now items
• Blind timed auctions
• Catalog-only listings (preview without bidding)
More than a place to list items and take bids, Auction Method is a fully hosted auction software platf...
orm with features designed to support every stage of your auction lifecycle: • Event Setup Tools – Create events with reusable templates, add lots in bulk, upload images or videos, and adjust settings with ease • White-Label Branding – Present your auctions under your own domain and visual identity—no redirects or third-party branding • User Management – Control access for admins, consignors, and internal teams with customizable permissions • Bidder Experience – Deliver a fast, intuitive bidding experience across desktop and mobile devices • Inventory Tools – Improve visibility for better management • Consignor Management Tools – Create accounts using templates, set commission rules, manage privileges, generate statements, and handle account status • Reporting & Analytics – Track activity with real-time dashboards and generate financial summaries post-auction • Mobile Access – Use the Auctioneer’s Toolbox app to create listings, upload photos, and close invoices in the field • Scalable Configuration – Expand functionality as your needs increase Managing your bidder base should be efficient, not frustrating. AuctionMethod includes a full suite of built-in smart tools that help you vet, organize, and support your bidders: • Review and approve new bidder registrations • Edit user information and account settings • Ban or block problem accounts as needed • Upload bidder data in bulk from CSV or Excel • Filter, search, and export bidder lists • Track tax-exempt statuses for resellers • Attach internal notes to accounts for context • Recover deleted bidder accounts if needed • Retract or adjust bids to correct mistakes Whether you're managing hundreds or thousands of participants, AuctionMethod helps you maintain control while providing a seamless user experience. Most auction platforms lock you into their system, control the branding, and limit how you interact with your own bidders. With the flexibility to meet your unique workflows and business needs, AuctionMethod does the opposite: it gives you full control over your platform, your data, and your customer relationships without commission fees or middleman constraints. From single-event sellers to long-established auctioneers, our clients rely on AuctionMethod to deliver reliable, intuitive auction software that works with them—not around them.AuctionMethod Screenshots

Thank you for all of the stars, positive feedback, and constructive advice! We are glad that you are benefiting so much from AuctionMethod's software service and we wish for the trend to continue a long time. :D Please note: Each auction platform is initially staged using the same basic website layout / design. Past this first step, there are many ways to customize the form of the website and function of the software platform.

Auction Method Software is perfect for our company.
5
We began using Auction Method in March 2024 after trying two other platforms, and it has been an excellent decision for our business. As a white-label, web-based software, it allowed us to seamlessly transition while keeping our brand front and center. Auction Method even set up our website, and their built-in customization tools are simple to use and quick to update. When we notified our email database of the platform change, our customers had no trouble adjusting—which speaks to how user-friendly the system is. The mobile app for cataloging auctions has been a game-changer. It works without an internet connection, and all updates sync once service is restored. I tested this in airplane mode, and it worked flawlessly. Auction setup is straightforward, especially once templates are created, and the process of closing an auction and sending invoices is impressively fast. I’ve even handled invoicing from the tailgate of my truck using a laptop and hotspot in just minutes. We’ve used Auction Method successfully for both real estate auctions and multiple online fundraising auctions, and the platform has been a strong fit in both cases. The value Auction Method delivers for its cost is outstanding. One of our most-used features is the whitelist bidder function for real estate auctions. Every bidder must request approval before bidding, and we require them to e-sign our terms and review the property information before being approved. This feature gives us complete control and peace of mind, even with past buyers. Overall, Auction Method’s features and performance have been an excellent fit for our company. From ease of use to customer support and pricing, we couldn’t be more pleased with the software.

Loving AuctionMethod since 2019!

We've been able to maintain and grow our company with many items in each auction. We average about 4,000 items weekly per each auction. They have been right there with us through any questions and hiccups we've had. I appreciate the constant upgrades they have and solutions they provide.

Our website couldn't handle the traffic and kept crashing. We tried to wait it out but things continued to go downhill. Nothing but great respect for the people over there because they helped us get started but we're very thankful we found AuctionMethod.

I think Auction Method has a good product. I don't want my bidding platform to look like every other auction company. They are a little pricey, but I get compliments on how it looks and how easy it is for my customers to understand and use. In today's world, when most auction companies are utilizing some online function, I would recommend Auction Method.
Ratings Breakdown
Reasons for choosing AuctionMethod
I chose Auction Method because at the time I opened my small business they were a small business. They were able to work with me to give me a unique look which mirrored my website. I had been used to working with another software with another auction company. When I opened my own auction company and it came time for me to choose my own software, I did my homework and shopped other companies. It became clear, after much research, that Auction Method's software was much easier for me and my customers to understand and use.

I love my website! They hand built my auction site last year to suit my company's needs which anywhere else would have cost me thousands. We are consistently evolving the site to keep market relevant which helps me grow and keep my edge in a very competitive market! Easy to use, incredible service, low prices!
