Palmstreet Launches New Long-Form Auctions as a New Way to Bid Big on Rare Finds

From Rare Plants to Uncommon Crystals, In-App Users Can Now Compete on the Popular Live Selling Marketplace for High-Value Treasures Starting Above $35

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Palmstreet (https://palmstreet.app/), the live-shopping marketplace app, launches Long-Form Auctions, its latest integration into its lineup of buying and selling features. Palmstreet is known for offering an extensive variety of products from plants, pottery, crystals, to beauty, home decor, and even live reptiles from independent sellers. Unlike its fast-paced livestream auction platform, Palmstreet's Long-Form Auctions run for up to three days with bids starting above $35, allowing time for buyers to explore unique listings, consider options, and place bids confidently on big-ticket items.

The new format opens the door for sellers to earn higher profits by competitively pricing their rarest, most valuable goods, while giving shoppers the chance to secure coveted pieces at attractive prices. With Long-Form Auctions, buyers gain access to exclusive items not typically found in standard listings, making it a must for discerning collectors. From rare plants and one-of-a-kind art, jewelry, crystals, and other sought-after collectibles and luxury goods, these auctions spotlight Palmstreet's most in-demand treasures.

Since the implementation of Long-Form Auctions, Palmstreet has seen over 200 sellers post nearly 500 listings since the feature went live. Most recently, the sale of a $1,030 "Grey Fairy" Hoya plant made it the highest bid on Palmstreet's Long-Form Auction platform to date. 

In order for potential sellers and buyers to access Palmstreet's Long-Form Auctions, they need to first download the Palmstreet mobile app free of charge via iOS or the Google Play store.

Palmstreet makes buying with Long-Form Auction simple:

• Buyers can sort through auctions organized by Popular, Highest Bids, Ending Soon, or Recently Added.
• When placing a bid, users can open any auction listing to view product information, shipping & policies, and visit the My Bids section to easily track auctions already joined.
• The Palmstreet App keeps buyers informed with real-time notifications and status updates to manage multiple auctions.
• For first-time bidders, Palmstreet implements a verification check to ensure buyer legitimacy, providing peace of mind for sellers.

"From livestreams to purges, and now Long-Form Auctions, we're excited to keep expanding our in-app features that provide ways for our community to connect and shop," said Chen Li, CEO and Founder of Palmstreet. "This high-stakes auction format provides an opportunity to buy and sell premium items in a way that hasn't been available on Palmstreet before, while creating greater value for both collectors and small businesses."

Sellers can list products for the Long-Form Auction by following five easy steps:

• Apply to become a verified seller on the Palmstreet app.
• Once approved, navigate to the "Shop" tab to access the Palmstreet marketplace.
• Tap the "+" button and select "Auction" and the "Longform" option to include a detailed description and high-quality product photos.
• Start the bid at $35+, choose a duration between 24, 48, and 72 hours, and promote the auction on social media platforms to gain traction.
• Manage the auction on the listing with the three-dot drop-down menu to edit description, photos, and price, after the auction goes live.
