Applying your listing to an event

Open the sale event, select Apply to Participate, tick the listings you want to enter, and select Submit Application. The organizer then approves or rejects each one.


Before you apply


Your listing can join when:


  • Its type matches the event: auction listings for an auction event, fixed-price listings for a fixed-price event.
  • It's something the event accepts (live animals or genetics) and a species or breed it allows.
  • It's an active listing that isn't in another event and has no bids yet.
  • The application deadline hasn't passed.
  • If the event allows no reserve prices, you've removed your reserve. A reserve is the lowest price you'll take.


Selling in an event needs the same setup as a public listing: a verified phone and ID. If the panel shows Finish seller setup, do that first. If you have no listing that fits, the panel offers Create animal listing.


Apply from the event


  1. Find the event on the Marketplace Events tab and open it.
  2. Select Apply to Participate.
  3. Tick each listing to enter. A listing marked Already applied or Has active bids can't be picked.
  4. Select Submit Application.

If the event charges an organizer fee or makes sellers cover the buyer fee, a Fee Disclosure opens. It works through a $10,000 sale. It shows the 5% seller fee, the organizer's fee, any buyer fee you must cover, and your payout. The seller fee says "Waived" when Creatures Pro covers the seller. Select I Understand, Continue to submit, or Cancel to go back.

If you signed in from a link in an email or text, Creatures may ask you to confirm it's you with a code first. See Keeping your account secure.


Apply while you create a listing


The listing form may show Apply to an upcoming sale event? Pick the event there. Creatures sets the listing type and times from the event and shows any organizer fee. Your application goes in when you finish with Publish publicly.


Follow your application


Go to Dashboard > Selling > Applications and choose Events. Each card shows Pending, Approved, or Rejected, with Open listing and View event. Until the event starts, Withdraw takes your listing back out.

What happens next


  • Approved: your listing becomes a lot in the event. It uses the event's start and end times and rules. You can't change its listing type while it's in the event. If the event uses Mandatory Coverage, your listing covers the buyer's 5% fee.
  • Rejected: you get a notice and an email. If the organizer left a note, it shows there and on the card.
  • Withdrawn: if someone bids on your animal auction while it's pending, Creatures withdraws the application and tells you. Listings with bids can't join a sale event.
