## Reviews

### "First time using an online auction platform, it was a great experience\!" — 5.0/5

> **Charlene** | *23 April 2024* | Performing Arts | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of set up and management. Can have the auction running for longer and bidders don't have to be present at the event. You can categorize your auction items. Also, Winning Bidder sends out the invoices and collects the payment, but you can also do it yourself.
> 
> **Cons**: There wasn't anything I didn't like\! It was easy to set up and to use\!

### "First time with WinningBidder" — 5.0/5

> **Adam** | *19 December 2024* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Very easy to use and helpful to have additional packages in our auction.
> 
> **Cons**: The only thing I didn't like was that bidders had to enter their credit card information both in the beginning as they were bidding as well as the end after they had won an auction item.
> 
> Very good experience with WinningBidder.

### "First Time user" — 3.0/5

> 
> **Pros**: It was easy to set up, great trip options. Easy to name and share.

> 
> It was good.

### "Best choice for nonprofit online auctions" — 5.0/5

> **Johanna** | *30 May 2024* | Civic & Social Organisation | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Absolutely the thing I was looking for most was low-cost way of doing our online auction, that would hopefully not be too difficult to use.  WinningBidder.com is free to use other than the credit card processing fees, and even those are optionally paid by your winning bidders when they pay...which 100% of our winners did, so it ended up being completely free for us as an organization.  With that, I expected to encounter issues like it being difficult to use or having to navigate through 100 ads in order to get there... or that my auction bidders would, too.  Instead, I found it easy to use and get set up for my items, and easy to set the features.  I also really appreciated the ability to supplement the auction with items from winning bidder where we generated 40% or 80% of the sales price.  While not everything we posted sold at that minimum price, the things that did still helped our bottom line.
> 
> **Cons**: The "item value" line -- it isn't shown to the bidders, and yet it's mandatory to complete.  I did a lot of research about the reasonable value of items that don't have a prescribed value (such as an autographed hockey puck), and then it was frustrating to feel like I did that for nothing... wish there was a way to opt out of using that line, but it's minor in the grand scheme of things.

Also, DURING the auction, you cannot view the current bid on the back end of the site without hitting a separate bid report or going to the front end to look.  It would be a nice addition to have a place you can go for an overview of your auction's current status.  Recommendation for future change, but overall just a minor inconvenience.
> 
> Outstanding experience with them... I'd use them again in a heartbeat when I next have the need for an auction, and I also would READILY recommend them to colleagues in the industry.  They should be more widely known as I'm sure many non-profits would prefer to utilize a system that didn't cost them a percentage.

### "Perfect for our needs" — 4.0/5

> **Jennifer** | *18 March 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We have used a very cumbersome software in the past. Winning Bidder was very easy for my team and me to navigate. The cost is very minimal and it is very easy to use and understand.
> 
> **Cons**: I needed to add my live auction items to the site but I didn't want anyone to bid on them. There was no option for that so even though I made it clear that they were live auction items, I have to go through and void bids that were made during the silent auction. Also, I don't love that they have to go in and check out completely at the end. Most people think that their credit card will be charged automatically. It would be nice for them to receive a text message with a link to the invoice instead of just an email.
> 
> Over all I am very happy and I would choose to use WinningBidder again. We had plenty of our own auction items so we did not need any of the extra that they were offering. I don't think I would have liked the outcome as much if we had needed to use their items because the consignment is high and then they take a large percentage. For what we needed this site was perfect.
