Uploading items in bulk is a quick and efficient way to populate your auction with multiple lots.
⚠️ Please Note:
All files must be uploaded in UTF-8 format to avoid errors.
You can download a pre-formatted spreadsheet in the Item Creation page (see steps below). This spreadsheet will already be set to UTF-8 — do not change this format.
There is a 255-character limit for item titles.
You cannot upload more than 1000 items at a time.
Steps to Upload Items via CSV:
Log into the admin area.
From the left main menu, go to Auctions & Items and select Create New Items.
From the Select an Auction... dropdown, choose the auction you want to add the items to.
Click Choose a File and browse for your CSV file (If you don't yet have a file ready, click on Download an Empty Upload Spreadsheet and populate it as needed).
Click Upload Items to start the upload.
CSV Template Format
Make sure your CSV matches the required format exactly. The downloaded template provides the correct column headers and structure. Make sure all files include the top two pre-set lines from the template when uploading it.

Validation Check (for Webcast Auctions)
As a sanity check, it’s important to verify that your Webcast auction items have uploaded correctly.
At least one day before your Webcast auction begins, open the Webcast admin console.
You should be able to see the lots listed in the lot listing window.
If your items don’t appear here, there is likely an issue with your CSV or item data. Please contact [email protected] for assistance.
