Listing formats on Tradera

Auction

Buyers place bids during a set time period. When the time runs out, the highest bid wins – regardless of price. Therefore, it is important to set a well-considered starting price or use a reserve price. All bids are binding.

• The auction starts when you click publish.
• You choose the auction length yourself – minimum 3 days and maximum 14 days.
• The auction ends at the same time of day as it started.
• The highest bid is visible to everyone.

Buy now

Choose a fixed price – no bidding takes place. Buyers can send price suggestions, which you can accept, decline or counter. Purchases and accepted price suggestions are binding.

• The listing becomes visible when you click publish.
• A fixed price listing can be active for up to 30 days.
• No bidding is possible, as soon as someone chooses to buy the item the listing disappears.

Auction + Buy Now Price

You can combine Auction with Buy now. Buyers can then either place a bid or purchase directly. All bids and completed purchases are binding.

• If someone buys at the Buy Now Price, the listing ends.
• If a bid is placed, the Buy now option disappears.

For sale

The buyer contacts the seller directly to show interest. No bidding or payment takes place via Tradera.

• Only available in the vehicle category.
• Free to sell with this format throughout 2026.
• The listing becomes visible on the site when you click publish.
