This guide is written in English, translated versions of Auctionator will use different wording for parts of the UI, but the buttons should all be in the same place.

Shopping Tab

This tab is used to search for items to buy. You can search for a single item, or keep lists of items to quickly search for later.

Quick Search

Use the search box in the top-left of the tab, type your term and then click "Search".

Recent searches will appear in a panel just below the search box. If your search history isn't visible click the "Recent Searches" mini tab to show it.

Shopping Lists

A shopping list is a list of search terms you can search for as a group.

To create a new list use the "Select Shopping List.." dropdown found in the middle of the top of the tab, and click "+ New shopping list". A dialog will appear, enter the desired name of the shopping list and click "Accept". Existing lists will appear in the dropdown for selection later.

Adding search terms

Click the "Add Item" button to add an item to your currently selected shopping list. This will open a dialog with options to customise your search.

• Exact Search: Only returns results with the exact name you put in
• Level/Price/Item Level: Return results in the range specified
• Crafted Level: Use this to filter crafted items (like scopes and gems) by the level they were usable at/crafted at.

Viewing search results

Search results appear in the right panel in the tab.

• Left-click click any result to open the buy options.
• To see a price history right-click the search result.

Other shopping list stuff

• You can export the search results as a CSV, useful to import into Excel.
• You can import shopping lists/groups from older versions of Auctionator and TSM.
• You can export any number of shopping lists to share with others.
• You can search for thousands of terms with price filters and get results quickly (retail only)

Full Scan

Go to the "Auctionator" tab in the Auction House and click the "Full Scan" button. This will scan all items on the Auction House and save the prices for use in the item tooltips.

On retail you can make this happen automatically when the AH is opened by turning the autoscan option on in the settings.

Tooltip prices

Auction and vendor prices are shown in item tooltips. Disenchant information for retail is only available for WoD, Legion, BfA and Shadowlands on retail.

Selling Tab

All the features described only affect the Auctionator Selling tab, and do not affect the Blizzard "Sell"/"Bids" tab.

To post auctions, on both classic and retail versions of WoW use the Selling tab. Select the item from your bag. Either:

• Drag-and-drop to the icon slot from your bag.
• Click on the item in the bag listing inside the tab.
• Or alt+left click the item in your bag (this shortcut can be changed to right-click in the settings).

Then choose your price and optionally a bid price (turned on via a setting).

You can also see the price history of the current item (bottom of the screen on retail and accessed by clicking the "History" button on classic). This data comes from the last 21 days of interacting with the Auction House.

Finally, click the "Post" button (or press the "Space" key, changable in the settings)

More options

• Changing the default undercut amount, auction duration and post quantity is done from the "Selling: " settings for "All Items" on classic or "Items and "Gear/Pets" on retail.
• A bag view inside the tab to avoid needing to open your bags. Specific items can be hidden from the bag view (right-click the item icon and click "Hide"). Favourites can be selected to show at the top of the list (right-click and click "Add Favourite")
• To quickly post everything in your bags quickly enable the "Automatically select the next item in your bag" option and click the "Post" button repeatedly.
• Existing owned auctions for the item being posted can be cancelled by right clicking on the auction (retail version).
• Existing owned auctions for the item being posted can be cancelled by selecting them and then clicking the "Cancel Auction" button (classic version).
• Auctions which you don't own can be purchased by holding Alt and right clicking on the auction (retail version).
• Auctions which you don't own can be purchased by selecting them and clicking the "Buy" button (classic version).
• An additional "Seller(s)" column can be shown. Right-click the search result column headers and select "Seller(s)" (retail only)

Cancelling Tab

One-click cancelling for auctions and undercut scanning is included.

• To cancel an auction left-click on it.
• To search for competing listings for a specific auction right-click on it.
• After using the "Undercut Scan" button to determine which auctions have been undercut, click the "Cancel Undercut" button to cancel the undercut auctions one-by-one.
• A keybind option exists to simulate pressing the "Cancel Undercut" button (find it in the settings)

Miscellaneous

Search the Auction House for reagents from a crafting window (a "Search" button appears when both the crafting window and the AH are open). An estimated cost of the items on the auction house is shown next to the search button.

Most search results listings for Auctionator can be customised; right-click a column header to choose the columns you want to see.
