List Your Item
Before listing your item, please review our Guidelines to find out what you are not allowed to sell.

Here is an example of the form you use to submit your item.

  Add Photos
We strongly recommend you include a photo with your listing. Your auction will be much more successful if the bidder can actually see the item's condition. You can upload a maximum of three photos for a single auction. Please note that you cannot delete an uploaded photo.

  Item Information
Title: Include a brief, thoughtful title that accurately describes the item you are selling. A title that's easy to understand will make your item easier for bidders to find.

Description: Describe the product in detail. The more real detail you provide, the more confidence you'll inspire in the bidders. Feel free to use HTML tags to change the font or formatting, but remember to include basic facts about the size, color, source, and condition of the item.

Sales Policies: Choose the types of payment that you're willing to accept. These could include cashiers checks, money orders, cash, personal checks, or credit cards. You can select more than one form of payment.

Shipping Options: Decide whether you or the buyer pays the shipping costs. Decide when the item will ship, either upon receipt of payment or immediately after the auction closes. Indicate whether you are willing and able to ship outside of Canada.

  Auction Preferences
Quantity of Item: If you have more than one of the same item, and you would like to sell each one individually (in this case there may be several buyers), please enter the quantity to be sold. If you want to sell these items in a single auction, note in the description that you are selling a set of several identical items together, and list the quantity as 1.

Starting Price: Please enter the price that will be used to start the auction.

Length of Auction: Please select how many days the auction will last.

  Additional Options
Auto Extension: If you select this option the auction closing time can be automatically extended for 5 minutes if a bid is placed within the last 5 minutes of the auction.

Allow Early Close: You can use this option to close your auction before the posted closing time if you are satisfied with the current "High Bid," and wish to sell the item to the current High Bidder as soon as possible. Select this option if you would like to enable "Early Close."

Reserve Price: Please enter the minimum amount you're willing to accept for the sale of this item. If your reserve price is not met, you will not have a winning bidder.

Buy Price: If a bid is placed that matches or exceeds this price, the auction is closed immediately, and the item is sold to that bidder. Select this option if you would like to enable "Buy Price."

Closing Time: Please enter the hour of the day that you would like your auction to close. Remember that this hour is set to Pacific Time (or GMT-0800 hours).

Auto Resubmit: You can choose to resubmit your auction if it closes without a winning bidder. Please select the number of times you would like to resubmit your item.

  Continue
After entering the necessary information, click on the "Continue" button. Check your item information again, then click on "Submit your Auction."
Note: You must click on "Submit your Auction" on the confirmation page to list your item.
