WinningBidder.com was easy to use
Date: May 26 2024SummaryThe ease of use and the customer service really were the best parts of the platform. It was easy to upload donated product as well as having the auto bid function that allowed for bidding to increase slowly.

Best online auction choice for non-profit fundraising
Date: May 30 2024SummaryMy experience was great. It was my organization's first time in conducting an online fundraiser/silent auction, and we were able to do it smoothly and successfully. I'll definitely be using them again in the future, and will recommend to others.
PositiveFirst off, it was the only site out there for charity fundraisers that's completely free no matter what features you use. Even the credit card processing fees have the option to be paid by the people who win the bids, which 100% of our winners elected to do. For the price, an outstanding value that was still easy to use and had plenty of features. Part of the way they make their income is to have optional additional items that you can add to your auction IF DESIRED and your non-profit gets either 40% or 80% of the winning bids. I appreciated that option and also the variety of choices available to add -- vacations but also online experiences, etc.
NegativeIf I were designing the program myself, I would change a few things in the set up to make it more convenient to use or to be able to quickly access the information that I wanted. Some of the reporting features -- while good -- were not intuitive to me which option to pick to get what I was looking for. But genuinely only minor surface complaints or inconveniences that could be tweaked.

Super easy auction platform
Date: May 15 2024SummarySeriously super easy to use. I would recommend any organization use this platform to set up their auction. People do not need to be present to bid and users get notified when they are outbid. Biggest thing, it closes automatically so you can enjoy your auction!
PositiveWe recently set up an online auction for our annual Parents Night Out. I love that we were able to supplement the baskets we collected with bigger ticket items from WinningBidder.
NegativeI wish we would have been able to keep more of the profits but I understand that each business has a charge.
