How To Sell Live

Real cards, real people, real reactions. Here's how to go live and start selling on Tilt.

1. Go live

  • In the Seller Portal, open your Live Room.

  • Stream from your computer: start straight from the browser using your webcam.

  • Stream from your phone: choose mobile, scan the QR code to open the Tilt app, and tap Start Live.

Haven't created a Live Room yet? See Creating a Live Room.

2. Add items to your show

  • Add from Store: add products you've already listed to your queue. Shoppers are notified when their favourite items are featured.

  • Create Listing: list a new item live, using one of three options:

    • Snap: the fastest way. Describe it, snap it, sell it. See below.

    • Manual Listing: fill in the details yourself.

    • Box Break: split a TCG box into spots buyers can buy. See Running Breaks.

3. Snap: list in seconds, hands-free

Snap creates a listing and starts your auction in seconds, without any typing.

  • Set your Snap Presets once: choose auction or Buy Now, a default starting and reserve price, the timer, and the review window (2–6 seconds). The presets apply to every Snap listing.

  • Talk, then Snap: say the card's name and price out loud, hold it up clearly in frame, and press Snap (or the Space key).

  • Quick Review: you get a few seconds to check the listing before it goes live. Press Space to edit, Enter to confirm or Esc to cancel.

If you say a different price on stream, Snap uses that instead of your preset. Anything Snap doesn't capture is covered by the video receipt.

4. Manual Listing

  • What are you selling? Describe the item, for example the card name, set and condition.

  • Category: pick the right category.

  • Price: choose Auction, Buy Now or Giveaway. For auctions, set a starting price and a reserve price, the minimum you'll sell for.

  • Duration:

    • Runs for: how long the auction lasts.

    • Resets to: bids in the final seconds reset the timer to this shorter window (3–15 seconds), so the last bidder always has a chance to respond.

    • Fixed Timer: turn this on if you want the auction to end on time with no resets.

  • Shipping: package size and weight fill in automatically once the product details are complete.

Tap Start (or press Enter), and the auction begins.

5. When an auction ends

  • Reserve met: the item sells to the highest bidder, who gets a win confirmation and is charged automatically. If their payment fails, the item goes to the next highest bidder through Second Chance.

  • Reserve not met: you'll see a "Reserve not met" message. You can rerun the auction or start a new one.

Ship sold items within 2 business days. You can track sales in the Orders tab of your Live Room.

Tips for great auctions

  • Show each card up close before the timer starts: front, back, corners and surface.

  • Start low to get bidding going quickly.

  • Fill your queue before you go live, so your followers get notified.
