How AuctionHub works
AuctionHub is an intermediary: we verify, host fair auctions and connect buyers with sellers. The purchase itself is paid directly to the seller.
For bidders
Buy at auction
Browse free
See photos, description, city, starting price and the timer without paying anything.
Join & pay
Press the auction's one button, accept its rules and pay its one-time entry fee (incl. GST). The fee covers documents, financials, the exact address, the valuation report, an expert call and a site visit. You can join upcoming auctions early.
Upload PAN & Aadhaar
Once per account, right after paying. You needn't wait: bid straight away while our team verifies within 24 hours. The locked documents open as soon as you upload. Fake documents cancel your bids.
Bid & win
Bid as often as you like with no further fee, and there is no minimum raise. The highest valid bid when bidding ends wins. Our team connects you with the seller; you pay the seller directly. Please see a vehicle in person before the final purchase, so that you buy with full satisfaction; our team is with you for any question.
For sellers

Questions
How much is the entry fee?
Our team sets it for each auction, depending on what is being sold. You see it on the auction's page, including GST, before you pay.
Is the entry fee refundable?
No — it pays for access to the locked information and expert consultation. It is refunded automatically only if the auction is cancelled or never starts.
Is the entry fee part of the purchase price?
No. The entry fee is separate. If you win, you pay the full winning amount directly to the seller.
What is the difference between a live and a non-live auction?
A live auction runs at a scheduled time and every bid appears instantly. A non-live auction takes bids over several days; when bidding closes, the highest bid wins and our team connects the winner and the seller. Our team decides which type suits each listing.
What happens if someone bids in the last seconds?
In a live auction, a bid in the last 5 seconds adds 3 minutes to the timer, so everyone gets a fair chance to respond. Our team can also give any auction more time; bidders are told the new end time.
How much can I bid?
Type any amount above the current highest bid: there is no minimum raise. Each auction shows its maximum raise per bid (often ₹100), so the price rises step by step.
What are sealed bids?
In some auctions the bid amounts are hidden. You see only your own bids, nobody is told who is winning, and you can bid any amount from the starting price. When bidding closes, the highest bid wins.
What is a reserve price?
A secret minimum set by the seller. If bidding ends below it, our team negotiates between the seller and the highest bidder.
Who can see my name and number?
Nobody during the auction — you appear as “Bidder #A284”. After a live auction, only the winner and the seller receive each other's contact details; after a non-live auction, our team connects them.
What if the winner doesn't buy?
They receive a strike on their account and the item is offered to the next-highest bidder.
What can the AI advisor do?
Once you join an auction, the AI advisor answers questions about that listing any time of day, using its details and documents. It can explain documents in plain language and point out things to verify. It never knows the reserve price or who else is bidding, and it doesn't replace legal or financial advice — book our expert for that.
Can AI help me write my listing?
Yes. Describe what you're selling in your own words (in English or any Indian language), add photos, and the AI drafts the title, description and key facts. You check and edit everything before submitting.
Can I use AuctionHub in my language?
Yes. Choose your language from the globe button at the top of any page. Listings are shown as the seller wrote them; press “Translate” on a listing to read it in your language.
