  1. Setup your payment method and link it to your indy account.
  2. Craft a compelling auction title. 
  3. Write a concise, informative auction description.
  4. Set the auction start and end dates and times. See: When is the best day and time to close a timed auction?
  5. Prepare your logo
  6. Select a header image, see: Image dimensions and guidance.
  7. Curate lot images (up to 5 per lot, each under 5MB)
  8. Determine lot order - It is key for you to decide a final lot order before uploading. 
  9. Compose consistent lot descriptions, see: How do I write a lot description?  
    • Utilise 'Title 1' and 'Title 2' effectively
    • Create engaging descriptions using the free text editor
  10. Establish starting prices, see: Estimates and starting prices for online auctions
  11. Consider including estimates 
  12. Choose 'Starter' or 'Pro' tier and consider adding a buyer's fee. 
  13. Review your T&Cs template and have it ready to add to your auction. 
  14. Begin populating the bulk upload spreadsheet. See: How do I bulk-upload lots?

Top tip: When setting your auction estimates and starting prices, ensure that they align with internationally approved bidding increments. For further guidance on this, refer to our article on Bidding increments for online auctions.
