How long does an auction run for?

The total running time for listings can be anywhere from 1 to 7 days. As each lot on the platform is listed at a different time, it is important to check the details on each lot you are interested in to determine the finish time for the auction. Live auctions will have a countdown in the bidding section, as well as the finish date and time within the assessment.

How to 'watch' for new listings.

To be notified when a new listing is posted simply:

1. Navigate to and open the auction category you want to be alerted to (cattle, sheep and/or machinery).
2. At the top right of the screen (or top middle if you are on mobile), you will see a ‘Watch’ button.
3. Click on this button and choose to receive notifications via emails and/or alerts. Note: emails will come through immediately after a listing is posted and alerts will prompt you on the On The Box website next time you visit.
4. Once you have selected how to be notified, click the green 'Watch' button.

How to manage your notifications.

Managing your notification preferences is easy via your profile, all you have to do is login and head to your preferences page. From here you will be able to manage what emails and notifications you receive.

To receive an email or alert every time a new listing is posted you will need to manage that within your 'watched auctions'.
