Downloading Auction Data from Wavebid

This article provides information to be used by Wavebid users looking to download their auction and customer data from Wavebid.

This article contains the following sections:

 

Catalogs and Photos


Individual auction catalogs (including photos) can be obtained by downloading the export files from the auction:

  1. Navigate to the applicable auction from the Dashboard, then select Auction > Export Auction.
  2. Click on the applicable timestamp link located under the Previous Catalogs section located on the right side of the page. 
    • Download the resulting .CSV catalog file.
    • If a limited number of lots had been exported rather than the entire catalog, users may need to click on another timestamp link until they locate a full catalog export.
  3. Click on the applicable timestamp link located under the Previous Photos section located on the right side of the page. 
    • Download the resulting ZIP file.
    • If a limited number of lots had been exported rather than the entire catalog, users may need to click on another timestamp link until they locate a full catalog export.
    • Photos that were marked as barcodes will not appear in the export file.

If an auction has never been exported, users will need to export the event in the form of a Universal Export. Steps on how to perform a Universal Export can be found here.

 

Customer Lists


Lists of Buyers/Bidders and Sellers can be generated in Wavebid that can be narrowed to a particular event or timeframe, or can encompass all of a company's Buyers and/or Sellers. Only Company Admins can generate a Customer List.

  1. Navigate to My Links > Company > Customers > Lists.
  2. Use the various fields under the Auction, Customer, and Lot tabs to filter results as needed.
    • To generate a list of Sellers, select Seller from the Customer Type drop-down. Additional fields can be used to narrow the Sellers. If no other options are selected, it will generate a list of the registered Sellers (customers assigned a Seller Code) the company has used in Wavebid.
    • To generate a list of Buyers/Bidders, select Buyer from the Customer Type drop-down. Additional fields can be used to narrow the Buyers. If no other options are selected, it will generate a list of all the registered Bidders (customers assigned a Paddle Number) the company has used in Wavebid.
    • To generate the entire Customer List, click the Search button without using any filters.
  3. Click the Search button to view the results.
    • Click the Columns button on the right side of the page to alter the information displayed on the list. Column headers in blue will appear on the list, while column headers in white will not.
    • Click the Download button on the right side of the page to download all of the search results.
      • Clicking the Export button on the right side of the page will only export the first 2,000 search results.
