Let every treasure find its true value
Set a starting price and an auction window, and signed-in supporters can bid. Live bid history, a countdown and outbid alerts keep charity auctions and limited collectibles buzzing.
Online auctions, just as exciting
From listing and bidding to checkout for the winner, every step of an auction happens on OEN.
Timed auctions with a countdown
Set start and end times. The item page counts down and marks the final stretch as "ending soon" to draw out last-minute bids.
Live bid history
Current bid, bid count, number of bidders and the latest bids at a glance. Bidders appear under codes to protect their privacy.
Instant outbid alerts
When a bid is topped, the bidder gets an email, so nobody has to sit and watch the page.
Winning item goes straight to the cart
When the auction closes, the item goes to the "won auctions" section of the top bidder's cart, to be paid within the checkout window you set.
Members-only auctions
Make a lot members-only, and only eligible members can bid — keeping special pieces for your most dedicated supporters.
A dependable bidding engine
Every bid is checked against the current bid, duplicate submissions count once, and simultaneous bids are processed in order, so there are never two top bids.
For charity auctions, original art and limited collectibles
