Great software for online auctions
Date: Sep 04 2025SummaryWe 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.PositiveWeb-based, white-label platform – keeps your brand front and center.

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.Official AuctionMethod ResponseDate: 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.

-Simulcast audio didn't work and came with bugs during testing
-CC processing didn't go through sometimesOfficial AuctionMethod ResponseDate: 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! -

4,500 Item Auctions Weekly - Wow!
Date: Aug 11 2025SummaryThe 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!
PositiveWe 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.
NegativeWe'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.

Reliable Auction Software
Updated: Jul 21 2025SummaryAuctionMethod 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.
PositiveHandles 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.
NegativeTakes some time to learn the back end. Would be nice to have a few more marketing tools built in.

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. It means a lot coming from someone who's been using the platform for several years. You're absolutely right about the back end taking a little time to get used to. 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.
