Creating & Managing Locations

Adding a Location

To ensure accurate shipping quotes for bidders, auctioneers with multiple locations must appoint a Location for each auction. 

There is no limit to the number of locations you can add, as long as Location Nickname's are not reused.

To add a location to your account:

1. On the auctioneer's dashboard, hover over the Billing & Account tab and select Locations.
2. Click the Add Location button.
   • A pop-up window will open.
3. Enter the location details.
   • Each location requires a unique Nickname, which will be referenced during catalog setup. We recommend that the nickname be short and easy to remember.
4. Click the Add Location button at the bottom of the pop-up window. 

Editing a Location

Locations can be edited at any time. 

To edit a location:

1. On the auctioneer's dashboard, hover over the Billing & Account tab and select Locations. 
2. Click on the Edit link.
   • A pop-up window will open.
3. Make the desired changes to the address and click the Save Changes button.

Archiving a Location

Locations can be archived at any time. 

1. On the auctioneer's dashboard, hover over the Billing & Account tab and select Locations. 
2. Click on the Archive link.
3. The address will be immediately removed from the Locations page.

Adding Locations to Lots

If some lots are being shipped from or picked up from a different location from the auction itself, you will want to add that location to the impacted lots so that bidders an see where items are located before placing any bids. Adding lo locations also allows for a smoother shipping or pick up experience, as well as more accurate shipping quotes, if you use LiveShipping. 

Locations will appear under the Shipping & Pickup Details section when viewing a lot on LiveAuctioneers.com.

To add locations to individual lots, add a column to the catalog spreadsheet labeled Location Nickname. This column is where you enter the given nickname you selected for each location you'd like to add to the catalog. This location is where the item is stored, and will be either shipped from or picked up at.

Lots that do not have a designated Location Nickname will default to the Auction Location you entered under the Details and Date tab when setting up the auction. 

Important: Lot locations will not appear on invoices. Invoices will only display the Auction Location you entered under the Details and Date tab when setting up the auction.
