How to Export Your Catalog to LiveAuctioneers

LiveAuctioneers + Estimint

LiveAuctioneers is one of the largest online auction marketplaces. Getting your catalog data from Estimint into LiveAuctioneers is straightforward with the right export configuration.

Before You Export

Prepare your catalog:

1. Process all items — Every lot needs a title, description, and value estimates
2. Assign lot numbers — LiveAuctioneers expects sequential lot numbering
3. Review titles — Keep them under 100 characters for optimal display on the platform

Export Walkthrough

1. Open the Export Page

Navigate to Catalogs > Export from your dashboard sidebar.

2. Select Your Catalog

Choose the catalog from the dropdown. You'll see how many items and images it contains.

3. Choose LiveAuctioneers Platform

Select LiveAuctioneers from the platform dropdown. The fields automatically configure to match their expected format:

• Lot Number
• Title (100-character recommended limit)
• Description
• Low Estimate
• High Estimate

4. Customize Fields

Add optional fields as needed:

• Consignor Code — If you track consignors in LiveAuctioneers
• Condition Report — Detailed condition notes
• Tags — Additional categorization keywords

Drag fields to reorder columns to match your preferred import order.

5. Validate and Preview

Click Check Catalog to scan for issues. The validator flags titles over 100 characters and missing data. Use Preview to see how the first few rows will look.
