Three auction formats on one platform — timed bidding, live events, and a full marketplace. Install on your own server or let us host it. Nearly two decades of proven reliability. Zero transaction fees on every plan.
On a marketplace you're renting someone else's audience, and paying for it on every sale. With your own auction platform, the buyers are yours to keep. Run timed auctions, estate sales, charity fundraisers, or a full marketplace, all from one installation, one admin panel, one buyer list.
The auction management software handles proxy bidding, staggered lot closings, invoicing, and payment collection automatically. You set the listing fees, the buyer's premiums, and the commission structure. No transaction fees to us on any plan — we charge for the software, not a cut of what you sell.
All three formats run on the same installation, the same admin panel, the same buyer accounts. Start with one — add others as you grow.
Set a start time, set an end time. Bidders place proxy bids from anywhere in the world and compete until the clock hits zero — automatically, with no auctioneer required. The auction runs 24/7 whether you're at your desk or not.
Group hundreds of lots into a single event — estate sales, liquidations, charity galas, vehicle auctions. Lots close in staggered sequence, minutes apart. One buyer invoice covers every lot they win. Built for the way real auctions work.
Run fixed-price sales and a multi-seller marketplace alongside your auctions — all on the same platform. Buyers use one account for everything. Third-party sellers list on your site. You collect fees. No separate system required.
Most auction software forces you to choose a single format or run separate systems side by side. PHP Pro Bid ships all three in one installation — one codebase, one database, one server. That's a single buyer list shared across timed auctions, events, and your store.
For you, that means one admin panel to manage listings, invoices, fees, and users — regardless of format. For your buyers, it means one registration, one login, one account balance. No re-entering payment details when they move from an auction to your store.
Technically, it also means one deployment to maintain. One set of backups. One SSL certificate. One hosting bill. Whether you're running 50 lots or 50,000, the platform scales without additional infrastructure for each format.
