Comparison

SoldSheet vs AuctionNinja

An estate-sale and auction marketplace, strongest in the Northeast, with low monthly pricing plus a percentage of each sale.

AuctionNinja's marketplace brings real bidders, especially in the Northeast, and its entry price is low. But the economics punish small sales — 2.35% of hammer with a $75 minimum per auction — and sellers process payments on their own merchant account, carrying chargebacks alone. SoldSheet charges no percentage, has no minimums, and pairs invoicing with payments that are managed, not just bolted on.

Where AuctionNinja wins

  • An owned marketplace with an active bidder base, particularly strong in the northeastern US
  • Lower monthly entry price if you run large sales infrequently

Where SoldSheet wins

  • No percentage of hammer and no per-auction minimum — their $75 minimum makes a $1,000 sale cost 7.5%
  • Payments designed around your Stripe account with the workflow handled, not left to you
  • Publish to multiple marketplaces instead of living inside one
  • Consignor settlement statements — their tooling is seller-facing, not consignor-facing
