Build your own auction website with timed bidding, live events, and a full marketplace, on a platform you own outright. No transaction fees. No six-figure budget. Live in days.
Whether you run 24/7 timed bidding, curated auction events, or a full marketplace with fixed-price sales — it's the same installation, the same admin panel, the same buyers.
Your auction runs 24/7. Bidders join from anywhere in the world, place proxy bids, and compete until the countdown hits zero — automatically, without you present.
Create a named event in seconds. Add lots one by one or by bulk upload, each with its own staggered closing time. When the last lot closes, one invoice per buyer — automatic.
Run fixed-price sales and multi-seller listings alongside your auctions — on the same platform, under the same brand. Add a shopping cart, seller stores, and a full checkout flow without touching the auction side.
Estate sales, liquidations, charity galas, antiques fairs, vehicle auctions, farm machinery, industrial clearances — every one of them runs the same way. You create the event, add your lots, set the closing schedule. The software handles the rest: staggered closings, proxy bidding, soft close extensions, and a single invoice per buyer for every lot they won.
No per-event fees. No setup costs per sale. Run one auction a year or one a week — the price doesn't change.
Lots close minutes apart. Bidding stays active across the whole catalog. Every buyer invoiced automatically when the last lot closes.

Most SaaS auction platforms charge 3–5% per transaction. As your auction volume grows, so does their cut — automatically, on top of your monthly subscription. PHP Pro Bid charges zero transaction fees on every plan, at every volume.
