How do I manage items, listings, and different auction types?
Manage items and auction listings with Replit Database or managed PostgreSQL, including images, categories, and status. Support multiple auction types—silent auctions, online auctions, and Fixed Price sales—using routes, schemas, and admin dashboards generated by the Agent.
