Start for Free See how it works

Four ways to sell

Auction, timed, fixed price, or AI-hosted.

🏷

Fixed Price

"List it, sell it."

Buyer pays now. Digital delivery in seconds via R2. No bidding required.

⏱

Timed Auction

"Set a start price."

Highest bid wins when time runs out. Auto-extends on late bids. Like eBay, but faster.

🎙

Live Auction

"Go live. Buyers bid in real time."

CF Calls video. SpacetimeDB bids. Sub-100ms propagation. You host, we handle the rest.

🤖

AI-Hosted

"List your item. AI hosts the sale."

Private-preview hosting tools are planned for narration, bid calls, and buyer questions with seller controls.

Axis 2 — Distribution

Buyers reach you from anywhere.

One auction, every surface. Bids from your app, site, WhatsApp, social comments, phone, marketplace feeds, or a buyer's AI agent — all routed into the same real-time room.

📥

Marketplace and storefront imports

Bring exported listings into vAuction, map fields once, and turn them into fixed-price listings, timed lots, live auction queues, and custom seller pages. No retyping, no duplicate catalog maintenance.

Built for sellers who show up every week

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Bulk listing import

Bring marketplace exports, spreadsheets, and storefront catalogs into vAuction without retyping every item.

AI Agent Host Preview

Private-preview AI hosting work is planned for narration, bid calls, and buyer questions with seller policy controls.

AI lot cleanup

Generate titles, descriptions, categories, reserves, and run-of-show notes from imported listing data.

Multi-channel bidding

Buyers bid from app, WhatsApp, social comment, or phone. You capture every bid.

Sub-100ms bids

SpacetimeDB real-time. Not polling. Every bid propagates in under 100ms.

Agentic payments preview

Buyer-agent checkout is planned behind RTIE policy, audit, and Stripe payment controls.

Stripe Connect setup

Seller payout workflows are modeled through Stripe Connect as payment flows move into production.

White-label preview

Your brand, your domain, and branded app shell through Studio setup.

Auto-bid & soft close

Buyers set a max. Bids in the last 30 seconds extend the timer automatically.

The AI dial

Decide how much the AI does.

From quiet suggestions in the background to supervised co-hosting, the AI dial is being built as a policy-controlled preview surface. Sellers stay in control of what the agent can do.

01
Behind the scenes

AI helps draft lot descriptions, reserve notes, fraud signals, and post-session summaries before they reach buyers.

02
Advisory

Live coaching during your session. Real-time suggestions — when to extend, what's selling, which buyers to acknowledge. You decide what to act on.

03
Assistive

Private-preview tools can help moderate chat, answer buyer FAQ, prepare lot queues, and handle outbid notifications while you stay in control.

04
Co-pilot preview

AI co-hosting is being designed for narration, bid calls, and multi-channel questions with seller supervision and override controls.

05
Autonomous host planned

Longer-term agent-hosted sessions will require explicit seller policy, audit, payment, and fulfillment controls before public availability.

Buyer surfaces

Your buyers reach you from everywhere.

One auction, every channel. Buyers bid from the app, your site, WhatsApp, social comments, phone, or private-preview agent tooling. You don't change anything — vAuction routes every bid into the same room.

📱

iOS and Android. Bid, watch video, chat — full native experience under your brand.

🔎

Marketplace feeds

Imported catalog data can become live lots, fixed-price listings, and seller storefront content.

Use all of it or just the piece you need

Start simple. Go deeper when you're ready.

vAuction works as a standalone product, a white-label platform under your brand, an embed in your existing site, or a full API for your own application. Same infrastructure at every tier.

01
Sell directly
vAuction.ai

Use vAuction as-is. Your seller profile, your live rooms, your buyers. Start in minutes.

02
White-label
Your brand

Your domain and branded app shell, with availability handled through Studio setup.

03
Embed
Any existing site

One JavaScript snippet drops a live auction room into your storefront, DTC site, or existing catalog. No migration.

04
API / SDK
Your own platform

Build on the RTIE API and `@rtie/sdk`. Product surfaces call api.rtie.ai with the vAuction product key.

How it works

01

Import or create lots

Upload a CSV, paste a sheet, import an export, or create items manually. AI cleans titles, descriptions, categories, reserves, and queue order.

02

Choose your host mode

Go live yourself, use preview AI co-host tools, or prepare an agent-hosted sale with explicit seller controls. Buyers join from app, web, messages, phone, and API surfaces.

03

Hammer falls, payment workflow starts

Stripe Connect-backed payment and payout workflows are being wired into the auction close path for production seller use.

Seller pricing

Start free. Scale when you're ready.

Seller packaging is directional while payments, branded storefronts, and Studio setup move through preview. Start in the seller portal, then upgrade when your workflow needs more control.

How seller fees work

Final seller fees depend on plan, payment rail, and operator setup. Stripe Connect is the planned payout path for production seller payments.

Studio add-on

Your own branded app shell.

Studio sellers can plan a branded app shell — your name, icon, push notifications, and store submission path — built from the same codebase once setup is approved.

Start marketplace setup

Your bundle ID

com.yourbrand.auctions — your App Store page, your reviews, your SEO.

Your branding

Icon, splash, accent color, and app name injected at build time — zero code changes.

Same runtime

Real-time bidding, chat, auto-bid, and win screens use the same shared vAuction runtime.

Setup path

Studio app setup is handled as an approved preview workflow before store submission.
