DoveBid, Inc., the leading business-to-business marketplace connecting global buyers and sellers, today unveiled a new self-service upload program with Expert Review™. The new program is designed to help sellers more quickly list and sell capital assets globally on the web.

The service enables businesses of any size, from entrepreneurs to the largest global 1000 companies, to automatically upload hundreds of items and make available assets to multiple online auctions with a simple click of a button. The program offers step-by-step instructions and recommendations on everything from getting started and managing auctions to utilizing marketing tools that will help sellers maximize their return on their assets. Unlike other self load tools, DoveBid has introduced ‘Expert Review™’ a process whereby a team of category managers review and suggest optimizations to listings to help sellers maximize their return.

"DoveBid continues to deliver valuable tools and services to our sellers to help them quickly and easily reach a global audience of qualified buyers on the Web," said Jake Mendelsohn, EVP Global Operations, DoveBid, Inc. "The new self-service program is a unique business process, combining cutting edge technology with expert disposition services, allowing sellers to dispose of assets on a consistent on-going basis, rather than in infrequent dedicated events throughout the year”.

“Self Load with Expert Review™ is an important component of DoveBid’s strategy to strengthen the liquidity of its rapidly growing auction exchanges,” said Brent Cohen, Chief Executive Officer, DoveBid, Inc. “This service is especially useful to our customers with geographically dispersed locations who can now easily contribute under performing assets to our global marketplace on an ongoing basis.”

Simple and fast to use, the new upload functionality gives sellers a wide variety of features designed to streamline the selling process. The following are a few of the new features available to sellers:

  • Collaborative Catalog Creation – Companies may aggregate assets in one or more catalogs and allow multiple branch offices or locations to contribute assets for auction
  • Sales Terms Management – Sellers may determine the opening bid or reserve price and how or where the assets should be sold
  • Self Loader – Allows pictures, descriptions, serial numbers and even attachments to be uploaded
  • Expert Review – Unlike other self service exchanges, DoveBid offers Expert Review™ where actual category managers review and suggest optimizations to listings to help maximum return
  • Post Auction Review – Offers the seller real time reporting of sales results and return on investment statistics to help optimize future DoveBid sales.
