What BidAll does

Real-time bidding

Bid on live auction lots from your phone or computer. The current bid and lot status update in real-time so you always know where you stand.

Soft-close lots

Lots extend automatically when a bid lands near closing time — just like a live floor auction. No last-second sniping, everyone gets a fair chance.

Auctioneer dashboard

Create and manage auctions, upload lots with photos, set reserve prices, and track all bids from a single dashboard. Payouts processed after close.

PayFast payments

Secure payments in South African Rand via PayFast — supports EFT, credit and debit cards, and other local payment methods. No foreign currency hassles.

Who BidAll is for

BidAll is for South African auctioneers who want a reliable online platform to reach bidders across the country, and for bidders who want to participate in quality auctions from anywhere.

Whether you're an established auction house moving online, an estate agent running property auctions, a business liquidating surplus stock, or a collector looking for good buys — BidAll handles the platform so you can focus on the auction.

Frequently asked questions

How does soft-close bidding work?
Soft-close means a lot's closing time extends automatically if a bid is placed in the final seconds. This prevents last-second bid-sniping and mirrors how a live floor auction works — lots stay open until the bidding genuinely stops.
How do I pay when I win a lot?
BidAll uses PayFast for all payments. After winning a lot you'll be prompted to complete payment via PayFast, which supports EFT, credit cards, debit cards, and other South African payment methods.
Can I run my own auction on BidAll?
Yes. Register as an auctioneer on BidAll to get access to the full auctioneer dashboard. You can create auctions, upload lots with photos and descriptions, set reserve prices, configure registration deposits, and manage the full auction lifecycle from one place.
Do I need to download an app to use BidAll?
No. BidAll runs in your browser. Open bidall.co.za on your phone, tablet, or computer and start bidding or managing auctions — no Play Store or App Store required.
