Auction Robot
Let customers bid. The robot runs the rest.
Set a starting price and let customers bid directly in the comments on Facebook. The robot replies to every bid, updates the top bid, and picks the winner when the auction ends.

Post
🔥 Starting price: 250 kr. — 📈 Minimum bid increment: 20 kr.
⏰ The auction ends tonight at 8:00 PM

🔥 New top bid: 350 kr.

How it works
From starting price to a chosen winner — automatically.
- 1
Set the framework
Choose a starting price, the minimum bid increment, and when the auction should start and end.
- 2
Publish the post
Customers bid directly in the comments, e.g. “bidding 350”.
- 3
The robot replies instantly
Accepted bids update the top bid in the post — bids that are too low or invalid get an automatic explanation.
- 4
The winner is picked automatically
When the auction ends, the highest bidder is notified automatically and the post is updated with the result.
Why Auction Robot
Everything you would otherwise have to track by hand.
Replies to every bid, day and night
The robot watches the comment thread constantly, so customers get a reply instantly — no matter when they bid.
Keeps control of low and invalid bids
A bid that is too low, invalid, or comes in before the auction has started is automatically rejected with an explanation.
Full control of the timeframe
Schedule the auction’s start and end time, so it runs exactly when you want — without anyone needing to be online.
Show or hide the bidder’s name
Choose whether the current top bid is shown with a name in the post, depending on what suits your customers best.
Auction Robot
0% commission — on your auctions too.
The highest bid goes to you in full. Auction Robot is built to automate following, replying to, and closing auctions — not to take a cut of the sale.
Frequently asked questions
What happens if a customer bids too low?
The robot replies automatically under the bid and states the current minimum valid bid.
Can I schedule when the auction starts and ends?
Yes. You set a start and end time, and the robot rejects bids that arrive too early or after the auction has closed.
Is the winner found automatically?
Yes. When the auction ends, the highest bidder is picked automatically, and both the post and the winner are notified.
Can I cancel an auction?
Yes. An auction can be cancelled, and the robot updates the post so it is clear to everyone that it is no longer active.
