MOA is a South African advertising platform that allows you to advertise your own items to auction off by simply following the prompted dialog. We have identified the need for DIY sellers, Dealers and Goods Disposal Companies to have access to a easy to use Auction based, Online Advertising platform. MyOwnAuction.co.za is designed to give both Buyers and Sellers full control of their transaction without paying a cent on commissions.  

From garage sale enthusiasts to professional auctioneers and asset liquidation companies.

Depends on your Subscription Package. You can also confirm the number of packages and days remaining in My dashboard/My Auction page.

You determine date and the duration by selection a start and closing date and time of your Auction.

Note that you cannot choose a time within the first two hours of placing the advertisement. This gives you two hours to edit or do corrections before your Auction starts.

You can advertise the same lot again, pending the Lot limit remaining on your profile. See the Re-list icon in your Dashboard/ My Auctions.

A subscribed auctioneer does have automatic access as a Bidder, but a Bidder must register first to be able to bid on an auction. This registration process is free as a Bidder.
