Dashboard and Organisation KYC

Until admin approves you, the sidebar only shows Home and Organisation KYC. Remaining tabs appear after approval.

Right after login you land on Seller workspace. Complete Organisation KYC and wait for admin approval. If anything needs clarification, admin emails you first — only then will they approve. After approval the rest of the sidebar unlocks.

Open Products, click Add product, fill the lot form, then send it for review.

This is available only after KYC approval. Use the Products item in the WORK section of the sidebar. Create the lot, then submit it with Send for review. Admin reviews and later schedules the lot.

Auction results: Accept, Hold, or Re-auction

After the auction ends, choose Accept, Hold, or Re-auction for each completed lot.

Open Auction results in the sidebar to see completed auctions. Each pending lot has three decisions on the right. You also receive a graphical completion email with auction details and the winner buyer’s name.

Emails and behind-the-scenes communication

Admin and the auctioneer keep you informed by email at KYC, scheduling, completion, and lift.

These messages happen outside the dashboard. Watch the email you used at registration.

After registration

If admin needs any clarification against your seller profile, they will email you and ask you to clarify. Only after that will admin approve your account.

Lot scheduled

Once the lot is approved and scheduled, you are informed by email that your lot is scheduled.

Auction completed

When the auction is completed you receive a graphical email with all auction details and the winner buyer’s name.

After you Accept

If you accept the auction, the auctioneer communicates with the buyer and the buyer lifts the product.
