Koi Auction Software: Your Own Koi Auction Site
Easy.Auction, continued as Auctify
4,000+ customers across Easy.Auction and Auctify
A koi auction site on Easy.Auction is your own online auction website, on your own domain, where koi breeders and dealers sell fish in timed auctions. Custom attributes defined per category record details such as variety, length, age or sex for each fish, so every Kohaku or Showa listing carries the information buyers compare. A handling or shipping fee can be added per listing, and keyword alerts email buyers when a newly listed koi matches their search. Easy.Auction is continued as Auctify, whose livestock and animals starter site covers aquatics, and new koi auction sites begin there with a 7-day free trial. Easy.Auction packages cost 99 to 299 USD a month and are no longer sold; its successor Auctify has plans from $49 a month, with zero commission.
Frequently asked questions
Can I list each koi's variety, size and age?
Yes. On Easy.Auction you create custom attributes per category, for example variety, size and age, and each koi listing in that category shows them. Categories and subcategories can also split stock by variety, so buyers looking for Showa or Asagi browse straight to those fish.
Can I add a shipping cost to each koi auction?
Yes. Easy.Auction lets you set a handling or shipping fee per listing, so a small tosai and a large jumbo koi can carry different amounts. The winning bidder then pays for the won koi through the built-in payment options: PayPal, Stripe, Mollie, Square or Authorize.net.
What happens to a koi that gets no winning bid?
It can be relisted automatically. Easy.Auction has automatic relisting of unsuccessful auctions, so an unsold koi goes back up for auction without being entered again by hand. For fish you would rather not auction again, fixed-price listings let you offer them at a set price instead.
