The "triple success tax" from legacy platforms takes a cut of your buyer premium, your seller commission, and your per-seat licensing — every time you succeed. Selling Lane never takes a cut of your sales — your premiums stay yours.
Legacy auction software has a perverse incentive: they make more money when you make more money. Run a great auction, close a big lot, and they send you a larger bill. This is the "success tax" — and it's the reason so many auctioneers feel like they're working for their software vendor instead of for themselves.
Selling Lane flips this model entirely. One plan, built around how you sell — SaaS or per-transaction pricing, with special rates for startups and nonprofits — covers everything. Unlimited auctions. Unlimited lots. Unlimited bidders. Every feature included. And when your hammer comes down, every dollar of your buyer premium and seller commission stays in your pocket.
The more successful your auctions, the better your economics. Your software cost doesn't scale with your success. Your profit does.
No percentage of your buyer premium. No percentage of your seller commission. No cut of your hammer. The hammer price revenue is yours.
Know exactly what you're paying. Budget with confidence — no invoice surprises after a record auction.
With commission-based platforms, their cut grows every time you sell more. With Selling Lane you keep 100% of your premiums, so a bigger auction means bigger profits — not a bigger cut off the top.
No per-seat pricing. Add your entire team — ringmen, clerks, office staff, remote managers — at no additional cost.
You set your buyer premium. You charge it. You keep it. Your premium strategy is your competitive advantage — not a revenue share with your vendor.
No setup fee to get started. No surprise charges for features. No extra billing for streaming, CRM, or website hosting. One price, everything included.
One plan, built around your business — SaaS or per-transaction, whichever fits how you sell. Every feature, every auction, every bidder — all included.
Use the fee management engine to configure buyer premiums, seller commissions, and doc fees that match your business model.
No per-auction or per-lot charges. Run one auction a month or one a day — the math stays the same.
When the auction closes, your revenue is your revenue. Selling Lane's invoicing system collects from buyers and reports to you — but doesn't take a cut.
The triple success tax — the Rent Tax (monthly seat fees), the Seller's Tax (commission percentage), and the Buyer's Tax (platform internet premium) — can cost a high-volume auctioneer tens of thousands of dollars per year in pure platform overhead. Selling Lane eliminates all three.
Run the math on your last 12 months of auction volume and what the success tax cost you. Then schedule a demo and we'll show you exactly what Selling Lane would cost — almost always a fraction of what you're paying now. For most active auctioneers, the switch pays for itself within the first few auctions.
Set and automate your own buyer premiums and seller commissions.
Get paid faster with auto-generated invoices at close.
