Recommended practices when transacting on AuctionsPlus:

• As a Vendor, prepare all required documentation, such as your National Vendor Declaration (NVD) or Health Statements and that information provided is clear and correct. Ensure livestock are appropriately tagged, have maintained condition and are free from disease prior to delivery.

• As a Buyer, ensure you receive required paperwork and thoroughly inspect the stock upon arrival. Make sure you report any issues that may exist to AuctionsPlus within 48 hours of receiving the lot to be protected by our User Agreement.

• As a Selling Agent, attending Delivery can ensure that all livestock are fit and healthy to load for their destination, or allow you to address any issues that may have arisen since assessment.
