## Reviews

### "Easy to use auction software" — 5.0/5

> **Jeff** | *January 28, 2023* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This was our first time using this software.  It increased our participation in our auction by 500% and increased our money received by 400%.
> 
> **Cons**: Some of the tools are hard to find.  Some users had problems getting their credit cards to load and stick. It sometimes took 2 or 3 times for them to enter their credit cards.
> 
> We used this for a recent auction - only 16 items, all but one item exceeded the bids we hoped for.  The last 1/2 hour the bidding was very active.  In the past, we used sign up sheets.  Having bidders notified that they were outbid really kept things going higher.

### "WinningBidder is a winning platform for auctions\!" — 5.0/5

> **Jen** | *October 15, 2024* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: User-friendly platform. Easy directions...simple format
> 
> **Cons**: Some people who were bidding liked to see the names of people who they were bidding against; some people did not want to see the names. I enjoyed the fact that it sent me a simple message letting me know that I was outbid.
The printing poster feature was a little off - we had to re-create our own posters - the image was cropped funny on some of the posters.
> 
> The ease of setting up the auction was great. The printing poster feature could be changed a little bit - we had to re-create our own posters to include a QR code so that bidders could bid in person. The online auction platform was very user-friendly and easy to navigate. I enjoyed that I could pay directly through the emailed link (after winning) and it's nice that they offer for the winning bidder to pay the credit card fee. We're a non-profit so having the bidders pay their own fees is ideal\! We really enjoyed that you could mark multiple winners for some of the items. Overall, I would say that we enjoyed this platform better than who we used last year (accelevents) and we will most likely be using this platform for next year's auction\!

### "WinningBidder.com allowed for more monetary support for our cause." — 5.0/5

> **Michelle** | *May 26, 2024* | Individual & Family Services | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The best thing about winning bidder.com was that we could utilize not only their products of our choosing but it was a simple and efficient platform to post our other donated products. It was a great way to have a mix of products for our audience to bid on.
> 
> **Cons**: The difference in pricing was a little difficult because we had to figure out how to price our donated product vs. the prices that were set by the platforms donated product we couldn’t adjust.
> 
> WinningBidder.com brought more of a mix of items to bid while also contributing to the overall appeal to the online auction with the ease of use of their platform.

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

> **Adam** | *December 19, 2024* | Nonprofit Organization 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.

### "Winning Bidder Won in our book\!" — 5.0/5

> **Sarah** | *September 12, 2024* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It was simple, but had so many features like allowing the user to max bid and text updates.
> 
> **Cons**: People assumed that since they entered their card at the beginning, they would be automatically charged.
> 
> We tried out and tested two different sites after completing a paper auction at our event last year. We decided on winning bidder and it did not disappoint\! What drew us to winning bidder is of course that there were no platform fees, but also that it had many features other free products did not. We loved that people could enter an automatic max bid, that we could have categories, and acknowledge sponsors. We also love that bidders were sent text updates. The closing process was smooth, and reporting was quick and easy to pull. We wish it would have had a “sign out” or “pickup” reporting option, but searching the list and handing them out was easy enough\!
