My buyers love how smooth the bidding process is, and I love the time I save with the built-in automation. It’s honestly made auctions at the charity run better, and I have recommended Auction Method to all of my fellow local liquidators.

Sunlight Chair Auction Success

Date: Sep 09 2025 Summary: This was probably the best platform to use for a one-off auction with over $300k worth of inventory. Daniel and his team were extremely nice and helpful, and the platform was overall easy to use and quite intuitive. Other than some issues with the Simulcast AV, I would recommend this platform to anyone looking to auction off products! Positive: -Easy to use platform -Fast and helpful support team -Easy reports for invoicing, products, and users -Simple payment integration with Stripe Negative: -Uploading individual product images takes a long time -Simulcast audio didn't work and came with bugs during testing -CC processing didn't go through sometimes Read More... AuctionMethod Company Response Date: Sep 12 2025 Hi Nate, Thanks for the detailed review and for giving us a 10/10 recommendation! We're glad the platform worked well for your chairlift auction and that Daniel and the team were able to help you through the process. You're absolutely right about some of those pain points - our platform is really designed for ongoing auction businesses rather than one-time events, so things like bulk image uploads and simulcast features work much better when you're running regular auctions. We appreciate you pointing that out since it helps other one-time users set expectations. Thanks again for the great feedback and for choosing AuctionMethod! Name: Dwight T.

Great software for online auctions

Date: Sep 04 2025 Summary: We began using AuctionMethod in March 2024 after trying two other platforms, and it has been an excellent decision for our business. As a white-label, web-based software, it allowed us to seamlessly transition while keeping our brand front and center. Auction Method even set up our website, and their built-in customization tools are simple to use and quick to update. When we notified our email database of the platform change, our customers had no trouble adjusting—which speaks to how user-friendly the system is. The mobile app for cataloging auctions has been a game-changer. It works without an internet connection, and all updates sync once service is restored. I tested this in airplane mode, and it worked flawlessly. Auction setup is straightforward, especially once templates are created, and the process of closing an auction and sending invoices is impressively fast. I’ve even handled invoicing from the tailgate of my truck using a laptop and hotspot in just minutes. The value Auction Method delivers for its cost is outstanding. One of our most-used features is the whitelist bidder function for real estate auctions. Every bidder must request approval before bidding, and we require them to e-sign our terms and review the property information before being approved. This feature gives us complete control and peace of mind, even with past buyers. Overall, AuctionMethod’s features and performance have been an excellent fit for our company. From ease of use to customer support and pricing, we couldn’t be more pleased with the software. Positive: Web-based, white-label platform – keeps your brand front and center. Seamless transition – customers had no issues when switching from a previous platform. Easy website setup & customization tools – straightforward to update and manage. User-friendly mobile cataloging app – works offline and syncs later. Simple auction setup – templates make creating new auctions fast and efficient. Quick auction closing & invoicing – can be done in just minutes, even remotely. Whitelist bidder feature – ensures only approved and vetted bidders participate. e-Sign integration – bidders must accept terms and property information before approval. Reliable performance – no major issues since implementation. Excellent value for cost – strong features at a competitive price. Great fit for real estate auctions – tailored functions for vetting buyers. Negative: Customization is somewhat limited – while easy to use, advanced website design changes may require outside help. Learning curve at first – setting up templates and workflows takes some initial time before it becomes quick and efficient. Mobile hotspot/laptop dependence for closing – while invoicing is fast, it still requires reliable mobile internet access. White label so if you are looking for a platform to bring you bidders. This is not what you need. Read More... AuctionMethod Company Response Date: Sep 05 2025 Thank you so much for this fantastic review! We're absolutely thrilled that AuctionMethod has been such a great fit for your real estate auction business. It's wonderful to hear that the transition was smooth for your customers and that features like the mobile cataloging app and whitelist bidder function are making your life easier. The fact that you can close auctions and send invoices from your truck's tailgate really made us all smile - that's exactly the kind of flexibility we hoped to provide! :) We truly appreciate your honest feedback about the customization limitations and initial learning curve too. Your insights help us understand where we can improve, and we're always working to make the platform even better. Thanks for being part of the AuctionMethod family – we're honored to support your business and look forward to many more successful auctions together! Name: Kyle P.

4,500 Item Auctions Weekly - Wow!

Date: Aug 11 2025 Summary: The price and excellent service at AuctionMethod is what keeps us raving about the product. We've been using the software for going on 6 years now and look forward to continuing with the product! Positive: We have been in business since 2012. In 2018 we began experience growing pains and our website auction software was unable to handle the amount of traffic and items we had on a weekly basis. I'm very slow for change but after our site kept crashing and we had to restart auctions I decided to reach out and find out what AuctionMethod was all about. Daniel and his team walked us thru the change of the platform. We haven't experienced any crashes of the website nor slowness on the bidding end. It was an adjustment for our staff and customers to get used to at first but I am very very thankful we did the switch. Our site was able to look the same with way more features and accessibility. We love it! Bidding is more fun than having to refresh a page constantly. We have a lot of volume of items weekly so we've pushed the software as hard as we can. Negative: We've tweaked a lot of things with the software and the team has been very helpful. There have been rare occasions where we have declined an upgrade because of a cost. Everything is developed by the team at AuctionMethod and sometimes it's time consuming so I understand their business model. Read More... AuctionMethod Company Response Date: Aug 27 2025 Thank you so much for this wonderful review, Kyle! It's incredibly rewarding to hear how AuctionMethod has transformed your business operations and helped you handle such a multitude of weekly sales without the crashes and slowdowns you experienced before. We're thrilled that our team could guide you through the transition smoothly, and that you're loving the enhanced features and accessibility. Your feedback about our pricing and support means a lot to us as well. Here's to many more successful years together - congratulations on your continued growth since 2012! Name: Kenny B.

Reliable Auction Software

Edited: Jul 21 2025 Summary: AuctionMethod is a solid choice. Once you get the hang of it, it handles pretty much every part of running an online auction. Great if you want control and don’t mind a bit of a learning curve up front. Definitely worth it if you're running auctions regularly. Positive: Handles everything from creating auction listings to email reminders to invoicing in one system. We use the mobile cataloging tools all the time and it makes the whole process way smoother. Negative: Takes some time to learn the back end. Would be nice to have a few more marketing tools built in. Read More... AuctionMethod Company Response Date: Jul 21 2025 Hi Jotham, Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! We're really glad to hear that AuctionMethod has been making the auction process smoother for you and your team, especially with daily use and mobile cataloging.

We're working on some updates that aim to simplify things without taking away the control and flexibility power users like you appreciate. Also, your feedback on marketing tools is noted – that’s something we’ve been hearing more often, and we’re exploring ways to strengthen those capabilities without bloating the system.
