Auctiva is an eBay auction management system, founded in 1998 by Jeff Schlicht. Schlicht, a software engineer, wrote a program to automate the task of placing listings on eBay. After giving the software to friends and family who enjoyed the convenience it provided, he formed Auctiva, which is used by individuals and businesses attempting to conduct e-commerce through eBay.

Auctiva offers both free and fee-based services, including: free image hosting, auction gallery, auto-relisting, billing support, automatic seller-to-buyer e-mails, free picture uploads, scheduled listings, listing designer, supersizing pictures, and consignment support. It offers reduced costs to eBay sellers through an innovative revenue-sharing system for shipping insurance, obtaining insurance policies in bulk.

Auctiva participates in the eBay affiliate program.
