Will my lots be mixed with other vendors' lots?
Yes. That is what a collective sale is. Your lots appear in the same catalogue as lots from other businesses, numbered in sequence, and buyers bid across the whole sale. Your business is not named in the catalogue unless you want it to be. Each lot is invoiced and accounted for separately, so the sale of your items is not affected by what happens to anyone else's.
