Here we will guide you through the steps to bid on an auction on Callisto Marketplace and win the best tech for your customers.  

How auctions work on Callisto Marketplace 

Callisto Marketplace offers two types of auctions: live auctions and silent auctions. 

Live auction – All the bidding activity is done is public, so you will be able to see if you’re winning or losing the lot. 

Silent auction – All bidding activity is done in secret, so you will only know if you are the highest bidder after the auction has ended.

What happens when you win an auction? 

If you are the highest bidder at the end of the auction and the reserve price is met, you will win the lot. You will then receive an email confirmation with the invoice and the payment instructions. 

You need to pay for your lot within 24 hours of receiving the invoice. Once the payment is confirmed, we will ship your lot to your address within 24 hours. You can track your shipment on your dashboard.
