WinningBidder.com Description

WinningBidder.com offers free online auction software tailored for fundraising purposes. Our user-friendly software ensures that event organizers can initiate an auction within minutes, while maintaining a rich array of features. Bidders can take advantage of features such as maximum bidding, outbid alerts, and dynamic "popcorn" bidding.

Rather than requiring bidders to download an app, our approach involves sharing a personalized auction URL with supporters. This enables them to explore listed items and place bids using any device. The system operates at remarkable speed, making it particularly suitable for events held in areas with unreliable connectivity, such as charity golf outings.

For transaction processing, there's a fee of 2.9% plus 30 cents per transaction. Over 90% of winning bidders cover this fee during the checkout process. We rely on on voluntary tips from successful bidders.

WinningBidder.com imposes no restrictions on the quantity of items, bidders, or events, making WinningBidder.com the ideal solution for all your online auction requirements throughout the year.

    Great auction platform!

    Date: May 02 2024

    Summary: Overall it was great! Only one or two people had some issues, but they were quickly resolved with customer service. We will likely be using it again next year.

    Positive: We loved everything about winningbidder.com! It was easy to use and set up, and it did all of the work for us!

    Negative: Would like to be able to mark invoices as paid in cash or by check.

    Great bidding site!

    Date: Mar 15 2024

    Summary: Great and loved the reports! It was easy to learn the program and a lot easier to bid. I think it made the process more fun and helped drive up the dollar amounts.

    Positive: We used WinningBidder.com for our online auction for a Sigma Chi fundraising event. In the past we have used the paper process but this made it so much easier and even allowed those not in attendance to participate! Great platform and easy to use!

    Negative: Not really anything. It was chunky to add all of the items we had but that was more of a learning curve.

    Earned our event nearly 25% additional funds

    Edited: Mar 10 2024

    Summary: We should have started earlier in order to have a greater variety of offerings. A few items were not confirmed by the time of the event.

    Positive: The offerings increased the donations at event by nearly 25%. Some offerings were pricy but bidders were not discouraged.

    Negative: None at this time. We have not received any negative feedback from bidders. The test will be if the winning bidders report satisfaction with the items they won.

    5 out of 5 stars review

    Date: Nov 13 2023

    Summary: Our foundation has used this site for 3 years. We will continue to use this site in years to come. It's easy for the administrator and bidders.

    Positive: Very user-friendly. The company was very communicative and easy to get ahold of when we had questions.

    Negative: Just wish the auction site for bidders automatically started low to high in price.
