For sellers
Run live auctions for indie comics and trading cards.
Without the Whatnot rules.
Indie Comics Live is the adult-friendly Whatnot alternative. Built from day one for NSFW-friendly creators — comics, art books, and cards. Sub-second WebRTC bidding, no app-store middleman, no surprise bans.
Adult-friendly
High-risk-friendly payment processor (PaymentCloud / NMI) and self-hosted streaming (Ant Media). Your account isn't going to disappear because of a content review.
Sub-second bidding
WebRTC playback under 1s end-to-end. Buyers feel the auction tension; you don't lose bids to lag the way you do on HLS-based platforms.
Web-first PWA
No app store, no 30% in-app purchase tax, no platform veto. Installable on iOS and Android, full-screen, with web push.
Real seller payouts
Settle through PaymentCloud's rolling-reserve model. We don't hold funds longer than necessary.
Soft-close anti-snipe
Bids in the last seconds of a lot extend the timer automatically. You sell at fair price; bidders aren't punished for honest behavior.
Cards too
Built for comics first, but the auction engine doesn't care. Slabs, raw, sketch covers, sports, TCG — same flow.
FAQ
Is adult content allowed?
Yes. The whole point of this platform is that adult-friendly creators don't get rugged by ToS changes.
How is this different from Whatnot?
Whatnot prohibits adult content and runs through the App Store / Play Store. We're web-only (installable as a PWA), allow adult comics and art, and use WebRTC for sub-second bid timing.
What can I sell?
Indie comics, NSFW art books, slabs, raw books, sketch covers, sports cards, TCG, and original art.
How does payment work?
Bidders save a card once. Auction wins charge automatically (MIT — merchant-initiated transaction with credential-on-file flags). Failed charges get retried; declined ones are surfaced to the buyer.
