Website Development for Timed Auctions and Fixed-Price Sales

Job ID: 39792861

Budget: $1,250 – $2,500 CAD

I am looking for a developer to create a website that supports timed auctions, fixed-price sales, and an easy workflow for uploading new items weekly with multiple images per lot. Key features include:
- Timed auctions with countdowns, reserve prices, bid increments, watchlists, and anti-sniping.
- Simple lot creation (title, description, category, starting price, reserve price, images/videos).
- Bulk upload options (CSV/Excel) and drag-and-drop media uploads.
- Bidder registration and approval system with outbid/winner notifications via email and SMS.
- Invoices and checkout functionality for winning bidders with preferred payment gateways: bank transfer and draft bank cheques.
- Mobile-friendly design with an admin dashboard for managing auctions, lots, users, and reports.

The website should have similar functionality to https://www.bidspotter.com/en-us. The auction item category will primarily focus on equipment.

Ideal Skills and Experience:
- Web development experience with demonstrable auction site projects.
- Familiarity with payment gateways like bank transfers and draft bank cheques.
- Strong UI/UX design skills for mobile responsiveness.
- Backend development expertise for admin dashboards and bulk uploads.
- Experience implementing notification systems (email/SMS).

Preference will be given to developers based in Canada.
