Timed auctions
3–30 days, last-second extensions, reserves, buy-it-now, and private offers. Bullion can track live metal.
Online auctions without the big marketplace cut
cdxauction.com is SpotPro’s public auction floor for timed lots and live shows. SpotPro members: $0 to list and $0 platform fee when it sells — always the member rule, not a teaser rate. Same stock as your case and ExtraCoins store.
List from SpotPro inventory or store listings — titles, photos, and qty stay tied to the same stock count you use at the counter. Listing alone does not hold quantity. A hold starts on the first bid (timed lot) or when the product sits in a live show queue, so ExtraCoins cannot double-sell the last unit while someone is bidding.
When the hammer falls, the buyer pays you on the methods from Company Profile / Payments (card, Zelle, wire, pickup, and so on). Confirm payment in the seller console or Ecommerce → Orders (multi-channel money & status). Pack paid ship lots on Ecommerce → Ship Desk with the same queue as ExtraCoins and wholesale — rates, labels, packing slips — not a separate auction-only ship app. Buyers also land on Ecommerce → Customers. Revenue can sit with your other SpotPro sales — we are not a middleman escrow for the coins.
Durations are typically 3 / 7 / 14 / 30 days with anti-snipe extensions. You can set start bid, reserve, buy-now, and optional make-offer. On bullion, buy-now can track live metal with an optional dollar markup and a safety floor so a spot crash does not force a bad fill.
Live shows
Sell on camera from a queue of your stock. What does not sell can go straight to the open auction floor.
They pay you
Winners pay your shop. Confirm Zelle/wire on Orders or the seller console — keep the relationship. Your customers stay yours; SpotPro is not a multi-dealer glass of other shops’ stock.
Ship Desk
Paid ship invoices pack on the same multi-channel Ship Desk as the storefront and wholesale.
One stock list
Same inventory as the case, ExtraCoins, and wholesale — no retyping photos and titles.
How you put something up for bid
From the shop software or on the auction site — same stock either way.
List from SpotPro inventory
Open Current Inventory (or Online Listings). Use the auction action when quantity is available. Set start bid, duration, reserve, buy-now, and whether private offers are allowed. Video from inventory media can ride along when you have it.
Manage open lots, offers, payment confirm, claims, and feedback under CDX Auction in the Ecommerce menu — the seller console without leaving SpotPro. Pack labels for paid ship wins on Ship Desk (shared with store and wholesale).
- Qty ≥ 1 required to list
- Hold starts on first bid or live show queue — not on bare list
- Cancel or relist tools when the lot has not taken bids
On the auction site
Buyers browse cdxauction.com, watch lots, bid, or buy now. Sellers can also use sell.php for listing work, edit photos, cancel no-bid lots, and relist from account listings.
Your public seller store uses Company Profile fields (name, logo, city/state, description) so collectors see a real shop, not a blank handle. Directory and store pages live on the auction domain.
Seller trust — Verified dealer badges
Under SpotPro Ecommerce → Seller trust, verify your US mobile by SMS and upload a government ID once. That is dealer identity for every channel — not a buried auction-only setting.
When complete, shoppers see a green Verified dealer badge and trust passport on auction lots, your public store, pay screens, and the ExtraCoins footer under Store information. How-to docs
- Phone + QR ID capture preferred
- Badges never expose full phone or ID images
- Auction Settings stay for notifications & pickup miles only
What you can set on a lot
Start bid, length (3–30 days), reserve, buy-now, make offer. Bullion can use live spot buy-now with an optional markup and a floor so you do not give it away if metal drops. Grade-aware fair value helpers use guide context when present.
- Anti-snipe extensions on late bids
- Watchlist and favorite-seller new-listing emails for buyers
- Feedback after paid, shipped sales
After the hammer
Buyer gets an invoice and pays you with your shop payment methods. Confirm Zelle/wire on Orders or the seller console, pack remote ship lots on Ship Desk (rates, labels, packing slips), leave feedback. Unsold timed lots can relist. Ghost listings with no bids can clean up if the last unit sold elsewhere first.
Quick answers
What dealers ask before they list the first lot.
What do SpotPro members pay to sell on auction?
Nothing to list. Nothing to the platform when it sells. That is the member rule — not a short-term promo. Non-members see public pricing on cdxauction.com/pricing.
Who gets the money?
You do. The winner pays your shop the same kinds of ways they pay ExtraCoins — card, Zelle, wire, pickup, and the methods on your Company Profile. SpotPro is not holding the buyer’s money as marketplace escrow.
What is a live show?
You run a show with a camera and a queue of your stock, sell live, then move leftovers to timed auctions without retyping titles and photos.
When does inventory get held?
Listing alone does not lock quantity. Hold starts on the first bid (timed lot) or when a product is in a live show queue. ExtraCoins can block fixed-price buy while that hold is active.
Can I take private offers?
Yes when you allow make-offer on the lot. Offers are private negotiation, not a public bid. Accept, counter, or decline from the seller console.
Is this the same as Coin Dealer X wholesale?
No. Wholesale is fixed prices between vetted dealers on coindealerx.com. Auction is public bidding and live shows on cdxauction.com. Both can use the same SpotPro stock list.
What is the Verified dealer badge?
After you complete Seller trust in SpotPro (Ecommerce → Seller trust: SMS phone + government ID), shoppers see a green Verified dealer badge and trust passport on your auction lots, public store, pay screens, and ExtraCoins footer. One verification, all channels — not buried in auction-only settings.
