Stamp Auction Software: Your Own Stamp Auction Site
Your own auction website on your own domain, with 0% commission.
4,000+ customers across Easy.Auction and Auctify, with 0% commission
Easy.Auction is an auction site builder that philatelic dealers and stamp societies can use to hold stamp auctions on their own website, with no programming and no commission on sales. Stamps, covers and collections can be organised into categories and subcategories by country or theme, each with custom attributes such as catalogue number or whether a stamp is mint or used. Absentee bidding places bids for members automatically, and a keyword alert sends an email when a newly listed stamp matches their interests. Stamp auction sites are now started on Auctify, which continues Easy.Auction and offers 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 stamp society members bid on lots without being online when the auction closes?
Yes. Easy.Auction supports absentee bidding, so a member's bids are placed automatically on their behalf without them being online. Members also receive an outbid email, which lets them decide whether to raise their bid before the auction ends.
Can I set small bid increments for low-value stamps?
Yes. Minimum bid increments are configurable on Easy.Auction, so the steps between bids can suit the value of the stamps you sell. Lots that do not sell can be relisted automatically, which helps when a society handles many inexpensive items.
Can a stamp auction site be run in a language other than English?
Yes. Easy.Auction can be translated into any language and supports all official currencies, so a stamp society can present its auctions in its members' own language and price lots in its local currency. Its successor, Auctify, offers 20 languages for new sites.
