PHP Pro Bid helps businesses run auctions from their own branded website. Manage timed auctions, cataloged auction events, and marketplace sales from one platform. Choose Cloud, Managed VPS, or a self-hosted License. PHP Pro Bid takes 0% of your auction sales.
Run timed bidding, cataloged auction events, or a marketplace with fixed-price sales. Use one admin panel and one buyer database.
Schedule individual listings, accept proxy bids, and let each auction close automatically.
Group lots into a named catalog, stagger the closing times, and invoice each buyer for everything they won.
Run fixed-price sales and third-party seller stores alongside your auctions, under the same brand.
Create the event, add or import the lots, choose the closing schedule, and publish the catalog. PHP Pro Bid handles proxy bidding, soft-close extensions, staggered closings, and buyer invoices.
The same workflow supports estate sales, liquidations, and charity auctions. PHP Pro Bid charges no per-event fee.

*The platform ships with the full PHP source; a small number of licensing/security files are encoded with ionCube.
Compare the real cost before choosing.
Model subscriptions, per-sale fees, hosting, and payment processing over one, three, or five years.
Some auction platforms charge a percentage of each sale. PHP Pro Bid does not. If a platform charged 3%, £100,000 in annual auction sales would mean £3,000 in platform transaction fees.
Payment providers such as Stripe and PayPal may still charge their own processing fees. Compare total costs →
