How it works

Bid on jewellery, live.

An auction platform for jewellery buyers and sellers running live streams. You present the pieces on stream; we handle the bidding, the countdown and the settlement.

12 shops
978 items
58 streams
15 bidders
How it works

Three steps, no cards

From finding a stream to paying for it. Nothing in between needs an app or a stored payment method.

  1. 01

    Find a stream

    Shops and sellers broadcast from their own profiles. We gather them in one place, together with the item on the block right now.

  2. 02

    Bid with one click

    The increment is calculated for you. The clock extends on a late bid, so nobody wins on connection speed.

  3. 03

    Pay by transfer

    After the stream you get a summary listing what you won, the workshop account number and the transfer reference.

For jewellery sellers

Your stream. Your customers.

You present your jewellery where you already stream. We handle the queue, the clock, the bids and the settlement.

  • 01 Upload a hundred items from one file A CSV from the panel, with Polish or English column names.
  • 02 Pause, resume and next item on one button Drive it from a second window or your phone, mid-broadcast.
  • 03 Sales summary and transfer references when the stream ends Each buyer gets the account number and transfer reference.

During a stream

Everything on one screen

The stream, the current price, the time left and live bids. The panel refreshes itself without reloading the page.

Server-side clock
The same countdown for every bidder, whatever their computer clock says.
Extension on a late bid
A bid in the final seconds adds time, so the auction ends when it really ends.
Progressive increments
The higher the price, the bigger the step. No typing amounts by hand.
Comparison

Selling in the comments versus HandmadeBid

Many shops run auctions by hand, reading bids out of the comment thread. It works until the stream gets busy.

Who won Reading back through the comments afterwards Recorded in the database the moment the bid lands
Late bids A comment delayed by the stream arrives after time The server clock extends on a bid at the end
Settlement Messaging each buyer one at a time Summary with transfer reference sent automatically
A hundred items Pen and paper File import and a drag-to-order queue
The rules

Every bid is settled on the server

The browser decides nothing. Each bid is checked and written to the database in a single operation, so two bids in the same instant cannot overwrite each other.

Reserve price The seller sets a floor below which an item will not sell.
Bid history Every bid recorded with its time. Nothing disappears when the stream ends.
No cards stored You pay by transfer directly to the seller. We hold no payment details.
Questions

Before you start bidding

Do I have to enter card details?

No. You bid once you have an account, and after the stream you get a summary with the workshop account number and a transfer reference. You pay by ordinary bank transfer, directly to the seller.

What happens if I bid in the last second?

The clock extends. A bid placed inside the closing window adds time so others can answer. That way the highest bid wins rather than the fastest connection.

Can I withdraw a bid?

No. A bid is binding from the moment it lands, as in a saleroom. That is why the increment is shown on the button before you press it.

I run a workshop. Do I have to change how I stream?

No. You broadcast where you always have, from your own profile. The stream embeds on the auction page and you drive the queue from a panel in a second window or on your phone.

What does selling cost?

Commission is set per workshop and starts at zero. You can see it in your panel before you run your first stream.

Run a jewellery shop?

Create a seller account and run your first stream. Setup takes about fifteen minutes.
