How selling works
Identify the right service
Confirm that the auctioneer or consignment service handles your item type and Canadian location.
Submit item information
Use the official enquiry process with photographs, condition and ownership information. An enquiry is not acceptance.
Agree written terms
Review commission, reserve, insurance, expenses, settlement and unsold-item responsibilities.
Arrange accepted intake
Only ship or deliver goods after receiving the service’s acceptance and instructions.
Track the sale and settlement
Keep the agreement and reconcile proceeds against the statement and agreed charges.
What will you actually keep?
Plan your own costs before deciding whether a sale is worthwhile.
