How your collection can appear on PaardPlaats

Auction horses sit alongside the rest of the marketplace listings, with a clear auction label. Visitors see the photos, the key details and the auction information taken from your catalogue.

Below are listings from auctions currently running on PaardPlaats. Bidding always takes place with the auction organiser.

What you get

What PaardPlaats handles for your auction

You give us your catalogue, and we make sure the horses end up where equestrian buyers are searching.

Your catalogue goes up in one go

You give us a link to your catalogue or auction website. We turn the horses into listings on PaardPlaats, so you never have to enter them one by one.

Changes are picked up automatically

We check your catalogue every hour. New horses, edited details and withdrawn horses are processed without you having to tell us.

Every horse gets its own listing

Not one shared page, but a separate listing per horse, with photos and the details buyers filter on. That way people find your auction horses even when they are simply looking for a horse.

Clearly marked as an auction

Listings carry an auction label, the closing time and whatever bid information we can read from your catalogue, so visitors know straight away that they are looking at an auction.

Buyers see everything in their own language and currency

Your horses are published in the languages PaardPlaats supports, and amounts are shown in the visitor's currency. A German or Swedish buyer has nothing to translate or convert.

Extra visibility and a tidy finish

Your auction also appears in the rotating category banners across the site. Once the auction closes we take the horses out of active promotion, so no expired offering is left behind.

What you provide

A link to your catalogue or auction website
The name and date of the auction edition
A contact person to work with

What PaardPlaats does

Turning your catalogue into individual listings
Checking hourly for changes
Translated publication and currency display
Linking through to your bidding page and clearing up after closing

We work with the catalogue formats we are able to read. When you register we look at your particular set-up; if it cannot be read automatically, we will talk through what is possible.

The hourly check is not a live connection to your bidding. For the current state of play we always send visitors on to your own bidding page.

How it works

From registration to publication

Registering is not the same as publishing. We first look together at whether and how your auction fits on PaardPlaats.

You register your auction
You fill in the form at the bottom of this page, including a link to your catalogue or auction website. No account is needed.
We review the proposal together
We get in touch, go through your catalogue and show you how your horses would appear on PaardPlaats. That is the moment to raise questions and preferences.
Publication goes live
Once you are happy with the set-up, we switch publication on. From then on your auction horses appear in the marketplace and are kept up to date until the auction closes.

Filling in the form commits you to nothing and puts no horses online yet.

Working together

An extra publication channel that fits your organisation

PaardPlaats does not replace your auction and does not take it over. The bidding, the terms, the contact with bidders and the settlement all stay with you. What we do is make sure your collection is found by people who are looking for a horse right now.

What is in your catalogue is what we publish. Change something or withdraw a horse and you do it in your own system — PaardPlaats follows. If you want to stop publishing, we take the listings down.

You keep the bidding in your own hands

Every listing links through to your bidding page. We do not process bids and we do not come between you and the bidder.

Your own system stays the source

You carry on working the way you always have. Whatever you put in your catalogue is what appears on PaardPlaats.

One consistent point of contact

You deal with the same person at PaardPlaats about the publication, from the first conversation through to after the auction.

Membership

Auction publication runs through the Arion membership

Every auction feature on this page — the catalogue import, the hourly check, the translated publication and the category banners — belongs to Arion, our highest membership. It is built for organisations that consistently offer a large number of horses.

There is nothing to arrange up front. Register your auction first; we will go through what you need when we talk.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about registering an auction

What information do you need to get started?

To start, a link to your catalogue or auction website is enough, together with your organisation's name and a contact person. The name and date of the auction edition help us, but are not required. You do not need to supply photos, banners or a complete list of horses at this stage.

What happens after I register?

We review your enquiry and get in touch. In that conversation we go through your catalogue and show you how your horses would appear on PaardPlaats. Only once you are happy with the set-up do we switch publication on, so registering does not put anything online.

Can I keep my existing way of working?

Yes. You carry on running your auction exactly as you do now, in your own system and on your own website. PaardPlaats is an additional place where your collection gets found; the bidding and the settlement stay with you.

How are changes to my catalogue handled?

We check your catalogue for changes every hour. New horses are added, edited details are taken over and withdrawn horses disappear, so there is no need to email us about every adjustment. It is not a live connection: the details on PaardPlaats can be up to an hour behind, which is why we always send visitors on to your own bidding page for the current state of the bidding.

Are my auction horses shown to buyers abroad as well?

Yes. Your horses are published in every language PaardPlaats supports, so a visitor from Germany, France, Sweden or Poland sees the listing in their own language. Amounts are also shown in the currency that suits the visitor, so nobody has to convert anything. Clicking through always leads to your own bidding page.

Will my auction horses be found through AI assistants such as ChatGPT?

Our listing pages are built so that search engines and AI assistants can read them: the details are in the page itself and are marked up with structured data. That makes it possible for an assistant such as ChatGPT to cite a listing when someone asks about that type of horse. We cannot promise your horses will be mentioned — which sources an assistant chooses is not ours to decide.

Can I register more than one auction edition?

Yes. If you run several auctions a year, they can all go through PaardPlaats. Register the next edition using the form, and we will agree arrangements for the following ones when we speak.

What happens once the auction has ended?

As soon as the auction closes we take the horses out of active promotion. That keeps expired listings off the site and stops visitors landing on an auction that is already over.
