What is ECOA all about?

Essex County Online Auctions is here to make the buying and selling experience easier than ever.  Since our founding in 2013, we’ve been working hard to make buying and selling items simpler, less stressful, more safe and less expensive. We think the process should be fun and enjoyable as opposed to unpredictable and tiring. For example, selling online is usually a lengthy process. Create online listings, wait for buyers, answer questions, make labels and package the item, and then pay for shipping. With ECOA, you don’t have to do any of those things. Simply drop the items off with us and pick up your check within a week or two. That’s it!   .

Why Sell With Us?

  • Simple

    We do all the work while you watch from the comfort of your living room. When the auction is all over, you pick up your cheque. No rush, no hassle.

  • Secure

    Selling on eBay and Kijiji can often be risky. ECOA takes the liability off your hands so you don’t have to worry. 

  • Fast

    Drop off your items on the Saturday before an auction and we can usually have them up before bidding opens on Monday.

Why Buy With Us?

  • More Fun!

    Studies have shown that bidding on items is much more fun than buying in stores. Ask our customers; they tend to agree!

  • Easy and Relaxing

    No running from store to store, high pressure sales pitches or difficulty finding a parking spot. Bid or buy from your couch, pick up when it’s convenient for you.

  • Honest Listings

    What you see is what you get. Other sites are notorious for fakes or damaged goods. We’re honest about what is listed, and you can come anytime to look for yourself.

  • Auction Selling Fees

    The sellers premium is a flat 30% for all consignments, with no minimum lot quantity or per-listing fee. You don’t pay unless your item sells. 

  • Store Selling Fees

    The store sellers premium is a flat 20% of the listing price, as well as a $5.00 per listing fee. Not all items qualify for the store.

  • Buyers Fees

    The Buyers Fee applies only to the auction portion of the website and is a flat 10%. You do not pay a fee unless you win! There is no fee on the Buy it Now portion.
