The biggest difference between seller-managed (also known as Partner Managed) and MaxSold-managed is whether or not the seller (or a 3rd party representative) is handling the cataloging and pickup process themselves. For seller/partner managed auctions, the seller (or other representative) catalogs and photographs the items with our cataloging app, and hosts the final pickup with the provided winners list after the auction closes. If a customer wants us to handle the entire process, it is called a MaxSold managed sale. In both cases, MaxSold helps with the hosting of the online auction, marketing, and collection of payment.
