Can I copy a previous auction?

Yes! You can copy a previous auction, here's how...

Running an auction can take a lot of work! If you already ran an auction and will be running an identical auction, or simply want to have a copy of a previous auction to help you start building a similar auction, you can do this in the setting section of the auction you wish to copy.

From your dashboard, head to the auction section and select "manage" under the auction you wish to copy.  Then click "settings" - from here, scroll to the very bottom, and you will see "Copy this auction."

The name will default to the "title of your auction [copy]" - you can change this title now or edit it later in the copy auction's settings.

 

"Include auction items" will be checked by default. If you do not wish to include the auction items, deselect this before clicking "copy."

 

When you're ready, click "copy" - depending on if you selected to include auction items, and how many items you had, this may take a few moments.

 

Once the copy auction is complete, you will receive a notification in your dashboard.

 

Then, you will see it listed in your "auctions" section of your dashboard.

 

You can now select "manage" to edit the copied auction to reflect the correct information, add new descriptions, new items, etc.!
