How Does a Consignment Sale Work Online?
The organizer runs the sale website. Every consignor's lots go into one catalog, under one set of sale terms, and close at the same time. Each lot lists its consignor, so buyers know whose cattle they are bidding on. Categories can group the catalog by consignor or by type.
How Does the Organizer Settle With Each Consignor?
Reports run by lot and by buyer. Each lot carries its consignor's name, so the organizer exports the lot-by-lot results to Excel and settles with each consignor from there.
Free Sponsor Displays With Sponsor Advantage
A consignment sale draws buyers from a lot of ranches, and local businesses want to be in front of them. Sponsor Advantage puts rotating sponsor displays, spotlight placements and a full sponsor page on the sale website, and it counts every time a sponsor is shown or clicked. It comes free with every sale website.
