# Fashion & luxury > Selloff helps fashion and luxury auction houses handle many small consignments of garments, bags and accessories, run frequent online sales, and get paid and ship quickly. - URL: https://www.selloff.auction/industries/fashion-luxury - Language: English - Last updated: 2026-10-07 - Français: https://www.selloff.auction/fr/secteurs/mode-luxe.md ## Challenges - **Many consignors, many pieces** — Wardrobes arrive from many private sellers, a few pieces at a time. Consignment receipts, consignor records and lot labels keep every garment and bag traceable to its owner. - **Every piece needs several photos** — Buyers want to see labels, hardware and condition. Bulk photo import and image checks show which lots still lack a required view before the sale goes online. - **Frequent online sales** — Fashion sales are often timed online auctions. Selloff runs eBay-style sales in which each lot closes at a set time and late bids can extend the closing time. - **Fast payment and shipping** — Online buyers expect to pay and receive their purchases quickly. Invoices carry a payment link for card payment, and a shipping cost matrix calculates shipping fees from weight and destination. ## Built for fashion and luxury auction houses Vintage fashion and luxury accessories bring large numbers of lots from many consignors, strong demand for photos, frequent online sales and buyers who expect fast delivery. Selloff covers the whole chain, from the consignment receipt to the shipped parcel. ## Receiving consignments Each consignment is recorded on a receipt linked to the consignor's record, with the sales terms that apply ([consignment receipts & signed documents](https://www.selloff.auction/features/consignment-receipts.md)). Lots get a unique reference and a barcode label at intake, so every dress, bag or piece of jewellery can be found again in the stockroom. ## Photos and catalogue Garments and bags need several views: front, back, labels, hardware, signs of wear. [Photo import](https://www.selloff.auction/features/photo-import.md) attaches images in bulk and flags lots missing a required view. Lots are then published on your website through the [WordPress plugin](https://www.selloff.auction/integrations/wordpress.md) ([online catalogue publishing](https://www.selloff.auction/features/online-catalogue-publishing.md)). ## Online sales Selloff supports live auctions, eBay-style timed sales, fixed-price sales and sales by offers ([sales & auction types](https://www.selloff.auction/features/auction-types.md)). In timed sales, each lot closes at its own time and late bids can extend the closing, as buyers of online fashion sales expect. ## Payment and shipping Invoices carry a payment link for [online payment](https://www.selloff.auction/features/online-payments.md) through [Saferpay](https://www.selloff.auction/integrations/saferpay.md), [Stripe](https://www.selloff.auction/integrations/stripe.md) or another gateway. [Shipments](https://www.selloff.auction/features/shipments.md) are priced with the shipping cost matrix and packed by scanning lot barcodes. Accounting entries can be exported to [Quadra](https://www.selloff.auction/integrations/quadra.md) or another accounting package. Selloff is used by fashion houses such as Penelope's Auction. ## Works with - [WordPress](https://www.selloff.auction/integrations/wordpress.md): Run your auction website on WordPress with the Selloff plugin: catalogues, lot pages, client accounts and online bidding read live from Selloff. - [Saferpay](https://www.selloff.auction/integrations/saferpay.md): Let buyers pay their Selloff invoices by card through Saferpay, with a payment link on each invoice and every payment traced back to it. - [Stripe](https://www.selloff.auction/integrations/stripe.md): Let buyers pay their Selloff invoices by card through Stripe, from a payment link on the invoice, with each payment traced back to the invoice. - [Quadra](https://www.selloff.auction/integrations/quadra.md): Export buyer invoices, consignor settlements, supplier invoices and payments from Selloff as CSV files in the column layout used for Quadra accounting imports. ## Related features - [Consignment receipts & signed documents](https://www.selloff.auction/features/consignment-receipts.md): Register each deposit on a numbered receipt with storage location and import details, send lot lists and contracts, and track which signed copies are back. - [Photo import & image checks](https://www.selloff.auction/features/photo-import.md): Upload hundreds of photos at once, matched to lots by file name, with validation, required scan types and a coverage check before the catalogue goes to print. - [Sales & auction types](https://www.selloff.auction/features/auction-types.md): Run auctions, offer sales, eBay-style timed sales and fixed-price sales, each with its own sessions, catalogues, dates, fees and bid increments. - [Online catalogue publishing](https://www.selloff.auction/features/online-catalogue-publishing.md): Publish catalogues on your own website through the Selloff API and WordPress plugin, with instant updates, online bidding, client accounts and platform exports. - [Online payments](https://www.selloff.auction/features/online-payments.md): Let buyers pay invoices, guarantees and free amounts online via Stripe, Datatrans or Saferpay, with fees and payment statuses tracked in Selloff. - [Shipments & shipping slips](https://www.selloff.auction/features/shipments.md): Prepare and track shipments to buyers, consignor returns and lots sent for certification, with preparation slips and tracking emails. ## Frequently asked questions ### Does Selloff support timed online auctions?
