HOW ONLINE BIDDING WORKS
What You Can Expect
This year's auction will use Greater Giving Online Bidding - allowing for a paperless bidding system. You will bid using your smartphone or tablet on silent auction items. Also, you can easily track Packages by "following" their activity without having to continuously return to a table or bid sheet.
*When registering for the event, please include your mobile phone number.
How to Bid with Online Bidding
Once you have been invited to join Online Bidding, you have a number of options available to you:
- Select the Package you wish to bid on.
- Select wither the Bid option to bid the next increment, or select BID More to choose your increment.
- Click the star icon to save the Package to your Favorites.
- Use the menu in the top left to view Packages you have bid on, favorited, or to browse by Category.
When the auction closes, the highest bidder can find Packages they have won in the Bids area of the menu.
What Happens Next...
Once bidding starts, you will be alerted on your mobile device when you have been outbid, so you can instantly respond with another bid. All auction bidding will be tracked, displayed, and announced in real time throughout the event. Once the auction ends, the check out process will run smoothly because your credit card information will have been entered into the system prior to bidding.
