Good, inexpensive option

Overall, good inexpensive option. I have used them a great deal since 2021. I particularly like the £3 flat fee option. It is easy to find auction houses on the site, and to bid. One thing that could be improved is the display once registered for timed auctions. For live auctions, one's bidder number is clearly displayed at the top of the left hand screen. No such number is obvious for timed auctions [if it is there but not obvious, it might as well not be there]. I have had need to quote this more than once, but clearly could not. Also, the system doesn't seem to remember you if you register a day or more before an auction [you have to register again, for free, on the day].

Upfront registration can save you money

I often bid on luxury wristwatches and having the option to pay an upfront fee for registration can save quite a bit of money compared to paying a percentage when bidding on items that can be several thousands of pounds, the up front fee is only £3 compared to the 3% commission for free registration, you only have to bid £100 and you have broken even and on a £1000 bid you have saved £30 which is ideal if you are bidding on high value items. As far as I know Easylive is the only bidding platform to offer this service.

Easy to use platform

Easy to use platform.
A great way to search for particular items from a range of auctions all in one place. Saving alerts is really helpful. Receiving notifications every time a new item matches your search ensures you never miss out.
The bidding process is easy too. Either before or during the auction. Having the option of a set fee rather than a % of the selling price is great. Means you can work out the most cost effective way to pay depending on the price of the item.
