Applying your listing to an event

If another member is hosting a sale event, you can put one of your listings into it and sell under that event's banner. This article covers how to apply, what your listing must satisfy to be eligible, and how the organizer's approval works.

Two ways to apply

• While creating a listing: if eligible events exist for your animal, the create-listing form shows an "Apply to an upcoming sale event?" dropdown. Pick an event and your new listing applies to it as you publish. Note the listing's type is then set by the event (an auction event makes it an auction listing).
• From the event's page: on an open event you can apply an existing active listing of yours into it.

Either way, applying creates an application the organizer reviews.

What your listing must satisfy

An application only goes through if your listing fits the event's rules. The common checks are:

• Type match: an auction listing applies to an auction event, a fixed-price listing to a fixed-price event.
• Species and breed: if the event restricts species or breeds, your animal must match.
• Reserve rule: if the event does not allow reserves, your auction listing cannot carry one.
• Not already committed: the listing is not already in another event, and an auction listing has no bids yet.
• Before the deadline: the event's application deadline has not passed.

If any rule is not met, you are told why, so you can adjust the listing or pick a different event.

The organizer's approval

Applying does not put your animal in the event automatically; the organizer decides.

• Pending: right after you apply, your application is pending. Your listing is not yet live in the event, and you wait for the organizer's decision.
• Approved: the organizer accepts your listing. It is linked into the event, adopts the event's start and close times, and (if the event uses Mandatory Coverage) is set to cover the buyer fee, one of the Sale Incentives covered in Promo codes and Sale Incentives at checkout. You are notified.
• Rejected: the organizer declines. Your listing is not part of the event, and you are notified, sometimes with a note.

One shortcut: if you are applying your own listing to an event you manage, it is approved automatically, since you are both sides of the decision.

While you wait, and after

A pending application sits in your applications view; the listing stays yours but is not live in the event until approved. Once approved, your animal sells under the event's rules, and the sale follows the standard protected flow: the buyer's payment is held by Creatures and reaches your Wallet only after the buyer confirms delivery, with the event's consignment fee deducted alongside the seller fee.
