WinningBidder.com

Pros: This was very user friendly! It was my first time to use Winning Bidder and it will be my go to moving forward!

Cons: NOTHING! There were no negatives so far. This was my first time to use the site and I found it extremely user friendly.

Pros: It was very easy to use, there were a lot of options and things that could be used for the community that we were involved with

Cons: Since it was the first time using this for our nonprofit, I was just afraid to offer a lot so but I like the least about it is just my skepticism nothing about the site

Pros: The site is easy to set up and use. It made our ability to reach bidders from outside our event very simple as well.

Cons: The process to register as a bidder was a bit clunky. The first log-in took you to a donation page and I would have preferred it took you to the auction.

Pros: Ease of set-up for uploading items and organization for the silent auction. User registration was also very smooth; we did not receive any complaints or have issues with attendees signing up and making bids. It handled the volume of bids throughout the night without any glitches or set-backs.

Cons: The fees associated with the service but we understand this is industry-standard. Just something to consider for smaller non-profits but we appreciated the stress WinningBidder took away in terms of the technical side of the auction; it allowed us to focus more on the event and guests.

Pros: Ease of use! It was simple and straightforward to enter items and track bids. I really liked the formatting as well!

Cons: Nothing comes to mind - we really did have an easy and effective time using it for our silent auction!

Pros: It was such an easy program to use. It was wonderful for fundraising and generating revenue for our nonprofit.

Cons: Wish there were more lower cost trips and experiences available. However, the fact that they were free to put up at least gave lots of variety for people to look at.

Pros: Super user friendly and easy to set up, all patrons seemed to enjoy the overall accessibility and how easy it was to use.

Cons: there were no cons specifically, we did note the option to pay cash or check via donated items but automatically invoices so most people just paid with their card. I did make sure to turn on the ask patrons to cover the fees option, which all of our winners did.

Pros: WinningBidder.com is easy to us to set up your online auction. It has great customization ability for each item.

Cons: WinningBidder.com could be event better if it had more viewing options and filters for a consumer to look at.

Pros: Easy to Use platform. The site gave us the opportunity to manage the event up to closing when we saw a big increase in activity. It definitely was an asset to our fundraising effort.

Cons: As a small 501c3 we thought the expenses from using the site were a little drastic, especially with the percentage taken out for any of the TravelPledge items we sold.

Pros: This is the second auction that I have run through Winning Bidder - it's very easy to use and incredibly cost effective in comparison to other products. I consult with nonprofits and continue to recommend this product.

Cons: I had no cons with this product. Only surprised that more nonprofits continue to use expensive software.

Pros: It was so easy to use and had every feature we were looking for. Our bidders loved it. The reporting was fantastic.

Cons: They do ask for a donation as each person pays which helps pay for the site. We only used a few of their vacation options.

Pros: I was so impressed with the customer service. We will definitely be using this service for next year's auction!

Cons: I wish there were more affordable options for travel. Otherwise the items were great. The design could have been better.

Pros: This was the easiest and most efficient silent auction ever - it allowed folks - no matter where they were or what the were doing - stay in the game of bidding. even folks who didn't attend the event were invited to bid - this increased bidding exponentially meaning more money was raised.

Cons: I hate that there was a service fee (quite high) for credit card payments. Luckily, we found a work around by letting those present pay in person.

Pros: The ease and organization of it! It let me add all of my sponors and donors too, and their logos, that was so great!

Cons: That people had to use their credit cards and scan qr codes, older people got confused and didnt end up bidding because of it

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.

Pros: How easy it was to save favorites and navigate the site to see all the items.

Cons: I wish there was a way to group auction items on the back end to make bulk changes when we were doing updates.

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.

Pros: The platform is very straightforward and extremely easy to use. Also, the fee structure is unbeatable!

Cons: There are very limited customization/branding options. I also wish you could set different end times for the items, which would help drive sales up.

Pros: It was so easy to use. You simply choose the items you like. WinningBidder creates the auction site, manages the bids, takes payment, and sends instructions to the winners. And you don't lose any money if there is an item no one bids on.

Cons: Some of the items were priced a little high for our audience.

Pros: Everything works smoothly. I was able to handle my business properly and ensured the satisfaction of the involved parties.

Cons: Nothing, everything was perfect I loved the process.

Pros: Easy to use as auction admin and simple for bidders

Cons: None. Really has no cons. Easy to use for both admin and bidders

Pros: I appreciated all the tools WinningBidder provided that not only helped set up the site, but also helped to manage it.

Cons: Being able to contact someone for quick questions that needed to be answered sooner than later.

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.
