Automated Bidding

Automatic bidding is the easiest way to bid on an auction item. Simply enter the highest price you're willing to pay, and the system will automatically place bids on your behalf up to that amount.

Once you set up automatic bidding, you can stay ahead of the competition for an item without needing to be on the fundraiser site and monitoring.

How to set up automatic bidding

• Click on Auto Bid

• Enter the maximum amount you'd like to pay for the item

• Select Set Max Bid

Note: Occasionally, bids may increase by less than the minimum increment. This happens when:

• Another bidder has placed a slightly higher bid than your auto bid

• The max bid set by the auto-bidder isn’t incrementable by the minimum increment amount

Updating your auto bid

• Click Update Bid Amount and enter the new maximum amount you want

• Select Yes to confirm and automate bidding to the new amount

Canceling your automated bidding

• Click Stop Automation and then select Yes

• Your automated bidding is now removed

We’ll notify you if someone outbids your current maximum, so you can decide whether to increase your limit.

Reminder: Be sure to factor in shipping costs when deciding on your maximum bid amount.
