Artbid

Artbid is a Portuguese online auction house offering a platform to buy and sell art, antiques, collectibles, and other distinctive items. Its auctions cover a wide range of categories, including paintings, drawings, prints, photography, jewellery, sculpture, Asian and African art, furniture, clocks, books, maps, manuscripts, ceramics, glass, textiles, wine, and more. New online auctions are available regularly, with listings that include item descriptions and estimated prices.

Sellers can submit items for consideration, and Artbid’s catalog managers review and approve their descriptions before scheduling them for auction. The platform supports the sales process, manages payments between buyers and sellers, and asks sellers to send items after payment has been transferred. Buyers can create an account, bid on lots, pay securely, and receive purchases shipped within three business days. Artbid also provides information about bidding, selling, and photographing lots, along with customer support and auction alerts. By bringing buyers and sellers together online, Artbid aims to make trading art and collectible items straightforward and secure.
