Start selling at Catawiki's online auctions

catawiki.com

Every month over 14 million people come to Catawiki to place their

bids on more than 200,000 special objects.

Catawiki is the fastest growing online auction platform in Europe.

Our platform connects people from all over the world who want

to buy and sell unique and extraordinary objects online.

Starting each Friday, Catawiki hosts over 300 weekly auctions

across 80 different categories from modern art to classic cars

and from watches to wine.

In-house experts curate the auctions, guaranteeing varied and high

quality lots. The secure payment system provides a simple and secure

method of transaction. With millions of visitors from across the world

every month, Catawiki is a widely trusted platform for selling high

quality and hard-to-find objects online.

What is Catawiki?

Catawiki’s auctions begin every Friday and end on set days of the week.

Every day more than 70 auctions end.

The bidding for all lots starts at €1. This encourages people to bid and creates

a snowball effect. Bidders become more engaged; they develop a sense of

ownership of the lot and are therefore often willing to bid more. According to

our statistics, lots that start at €1 see much more activity and ultimately end up

selling at higher prices.

For lots with a minimum estimated value of €200, it’s possible to add a reserve

price. If your lot’s reserve price hasn’t been met when the auction ends, your lot

will not be sold and you won’t have to pay any commission.

Once the buyer has paid, you can ship your lot. You will be paid

shortly after.

Why sell through Catawiki?

Thousands of people compete against each other in our auctions

every day. This often leads to exceptional results.

High revenues

Catawiki combines the best features of online and traditional auctions.

Our weekly auctions have the convenience of being held online and

are trustworthy as they are curated by our team of in-house experts,

just like at traditional auction houses.

In fact, one of the main reasons why Catawiki can help sellers achieve

high sale prices is our team of in-house experts. They are nationally

and internationally recognised specialists in their fields who review

every lot offered up for auction and curate every auction. Our curated

auctions build more trust for our bidders which encourages them

to bid more.

Every month, Catawiki sees millions of potential buyers from all over

the world. Our platform is available in 17 languages including English,

German, French, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Chinese, and Portuguese.

Whereas traditional auctions are often limited to one geographical

area, online auctions open up the world for buyers and sellers.

Bidders can easily find and place their bids on lots from all across

the globe, increasing their chances of finding that last piece for their

collection or that one special object they’ve been searching for.

Why sell through Catawiki?

Swift & secure sales

Catawiki auctions over 50,000 objects every week in over 300

auctions. Since new auctions start every week, you can sell your

Catawiki acts as an intermediary between the buyer and the seller

to provide secure transactions. The seller is not required to ship

the lot until they receive confirmation that the lot has been paid for

by the buyer.

Low commission fees

There is no limit to the number of lots that you can offer up and there is no

cost to offer up lots for auction. You only pay a commission fee when your

lot is sold.

The commission fee for sellers is 12.5% of the winning bid excluding VAT.

Commission fees are used for extensively promoting our auctions. Your

lots will be promoted in several ways - through online advertisements,

social media, emails and print advertising, just to name a few.

Catawiki’s commission fees are considerably lower than most

traditional auction houses.

antiques, fashion and more.
