Templates

Save a catalog's setup - category list, Ship, bid increments, first lot #, your own fields - and start new catalogs from it.

A public catalog page

Publish a catalog as its own page, with your company name and website, to share with bidders and consignors and let Google find your lots. Consignor, reserve and your private fields never show. See a real one.

Step 1 · Public catalog page

Built and published in BBZ Catalog

Edens Auctions built a 300-lot gold and silver coin catalog and published it as its own public page.

The catalog was downloaded and uploaded to BidBuyZoom, where bidders register, watch lots and bid.

What public catalog pages are for

Publish any catalog and it gets its own page, with your company name and a link to your website. Use it to:

  • ✓Share one link with bidders and consignors, by email or on social media, before bidding opens.
  • ✓Let Google find your lots, so people searching for an item can find your sale.
  • ✓Keep the catalog online while you sell the same lots on BidBuyZoom, HiBid or any other site.
  • ✓Show it safely: consignor, reserve, buy-now and your private fields never show on the public page.
AI · optional

Want the lots written for you? The AI writes each lot from its photos. First 200 AI lots free, then as little as 5¢ a lot.
