Discover Weekly Auctions and Special Objects
Catawiki brings weekly online auctions into a discovery-focused home feed. Buyers can move between This week, For you, Livestreams, and Trending areas, then browse highlighted lots, current bids, and auctions ending soon. This makes it practical to scan newly listed objects or check time-sensitive opportunities without opening every category separately.
Daily discovery cards and themed auction collections cover items such as art, design pieces, jewellery, watches, fashion, interiors, coins, stamps, and collectables. Heart controls let users mark interesting objects while browsing. The mix of editorial selections, current bid amounts, and ending-soon groups helps collectors compare different lots and decide which auctions deserve closer attention.
Browse Categories and Search Precisely
The Categories area gives shoppers a structured route into Catawiki's broad marketplace. Users can open All auctions or Catawiki highlights, then narrow the catalogue through specialist groups such as Art, Interiors, Jewellery, Watches, Fashion, Coins & Stamps, and Comics & Animation. This is especially useful when a collector knows the kind of object they want but not a specific seller or lot.
A separate search field supports queries by brand, model, artist, or another identifying term. Search and category navigation work alongside each other: broad browsing can reveal unfamiliar objects, while a precise query can shorten the path to a particular maker or style. Signed-in users can also return to saved searches when tracking recurring interests.
Follow Bids, Favourites, and Auction Updates
Auction participation extends beyond finding an appealing object. Lot pages provide the information needed to follow bidding, while Catawiki supports placing bids, reviewing current amounts, and receiving updates as an auction develops. Buyers can use these signals to decide whether to act immediately, wait for the closing period, or focus on another item within the same category.
Favourites create a personal shortlist for objects that deserve another look. The app's dedicated Favourites area keeps that collection separate from general discovery, and auction notifications can help users stay aware of changes or approaching deadlines. An account is needed for saved searches and favourites, so these tracking tools are best suited to collectors who return regularly and want continuity across sessions.
Submit Objects and Manage an Auction Account
Catawiki also serves people who want to sell special objects. Sellers can create an account, submit an item with photographs and descriptive details, and place it into an expert-review process before it enters a suitable auction. This guided workflow helps match a submission with interested collectors rather than presenting it as an undifferentiated marketplace listing.
The Account area brings together registration, sign-in, Help Centre access, terms, privacy information, and privacy settings. Once signed in, users can manage the buyer or seller side of their activity and follow the steps connected with bids, payments, shipping, or object submissions. It is a practical setup for occasional sellers as well as collectors who buy and sell across multiple categories.
