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. ----- ### "Best choice for nonprofit online auctions" — 5.0/5 > **Johanna** | *30 May 2024* | Civic & Social Organization | 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. ----- ### "WinningBidder.com allowed for more monetary support for our cause." — 5.0/5 > **Michelle** | *26 May 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. ----- ### "The easiest and most successful auction that we ever held." — 5.0/5 > **Diane** | *7 May 2025* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: There are so many things that we like best about WinningBidder.com, but having to pick just one, we must say that the software was so easy to use and setting up the auction was flawless. > > **Cons**: The overall experience was so good that we cannot find anything to complain about. We do not see how the process could be improved. > > As with any new experience, there are always a few questions that one cannot seem to find the answers to in all of the FAQs. The fact that the staff is so willing to speak with you on the phone for as long as you need goes a long way in getting your project going smoothly. The staff is friendly, helpful and very prompt in keeping phone appointments. We could not have asked for nicer folks to do business with. ----- ### "Excellent Auction Website" — 5.0/5 > **Jonathan** | *30 May 2025* | Civic & Social Organization | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use with an intuitive interface and all the features needed to organize a smooth-running auction and professional. The ability to provide administrator access to other members of our team was very useful. This was my first time organizing such an event and Winning Bidder provided excellent customer - responsive, patient and helpful. Best of all, the software is free to use\! > > **Cons**: The FAQs might be a bit more comprehensive for first-0time users. This would avoid customer support questions. Also, I ran a dummy auction for internal testing and then had to start again with a new auction - it would be helpful to know not to close such a trial in order to preserve the initial entries. > > My experience overall was very positive. Very positive. I would happily use the site again for a future auiction. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ae/software/2053632/travelpledge?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ae/software/2053632/travelpledge) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
