Getting Started

One account: bid and sell

Enable seller tools on your existing account and switch between bidding and selling modes.

#roles #workspace #become-seller

Bidyear uses a single login per person. Capabilities (bidder, seller) are added to your profile — you do not create a second account.

Become a seller (existing bidders)

  1. Open /account/become-seller (or use Become a Seller on My Plan).
  2. Accept seller terms and click Enable seller tools.
  3. Choose a subscription at /pricing if you need to list auctions.
  4. Create auctions in /admin or open the seller hub at /account/seller.

Switch workspace

When you have both roles, the account sidebar shows Bidding and Selling buttons. Bidding mode focuses on /account (watchlist, invoices). Selling mode opens the seller admin dashboard or seller hub.

Self-bidding blocked

You cannot bid on lots or auctions you (or your team) own. This prevents conflicts of interest.

Tip: Sellers still need a payment method on file before bidding on other sellers' listings.
