Yes, simply enter the desired price for the animal in the "Buy it now" field when creating an ad.

No problem! Take the pictures with your normal camera on your phone. Later, when you are in the apartment building (with wifi), you can create the ad. Just upload the pictures via the gallery of your phone.

This is possible. Please just send pictures with the corresponding auction number to our support. We will do it for you.

Payment / Settlement of an auction

How is the 5% commission paid? Attention: All auctions free of charge until the end of 2023! 

After a successful sale, the app shows a message. The commission can be paid directly in the app. You can find all open invoices under Account -> My invoices. Here you can also pay them with all common payment methods.

Does viehworld also regulate the payment betweenbuyer and seller?

No. The payment of the determined maximum price is agreed directly between the seller and the buyer.

When must an animal be paid for?

The same regulations apply as for the private sale of animals. After the animal has been inspected or the buyer gives a final commitment, the seller issues a livestock traffic certificate and the invoice.
