Perfect auction site!

This was our first online auction and we had no idea whether it would be a success. We were pleased with how easy it was to share the link with our audience and how easy it was for them to use it. We will definitely use it again.

PROS

It was extremely easy to use from setting up the auction items to the registration. We didn't receive a single query about registering or bidding. The reports were also very helpful in managing our auction. We will definitely use it again.

CONS

We had some videos about our items that we would have liked to be able to embed in the descriptions but that wasn't possible. It would also have been nice to be able to label the photos to explain what they were.

Reason for choosing WinningBidder.com

It fit all of our needs and the pricing structure was perfect for a non-profit.

It's not bad

PROS

Easy to use. Inexpensive auction platform.

CONS

Sending invoices to "Buy it Now" winners BEFORE your auction closes doesn't work. The platform WON'T send invoices until the overall auction ends. We SHOULD be able to send a "Buy it Now" winner an invoice BEFORE the overall auction closes.

Reasons for switching to WinningBidder.com

Because 32 Auctions cost us a small FORTUNE and we have the convenience of being able to include Travel Pledge packages right from this platform without having to re-enter everything.

Folds of Honor at Stoney Point

Once we straighten out the problem of establishing the account and having Travel Pledge to verify my checking account, no problems. They need to make it easier to set up the account.

PROS

Easy to place bids. Easy to add or subtract items.

CONS

Very difficult to set up the account. I was originally told that the account was set up and I had starting the LIVE AUCTION only to find that my authorization and account set up had not been approved and was not set up. Had to get my daughter (I am terrible with computers) to straighten everything out. Took more than 8 hours and several phone calls to resolve this problem/

Reason for choosing WinningBidder.com

I actually am doing both.

Silent Auction Success

Excellent

PROS

I work for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and used TravellPledge to put on a silent auction. First, this product being free for Non-Profits was huge, I was trying to raise money to send coaches and athletes to camp and this product made that possible. The software was so easy to use and had so many aids to help. They partner with some pretty impressive companies that donate for auctions so that you can use them as you try to raise money. Most of these I would have had no chance at procuring but TravelPledge made it easy to use these and helped in reaching my goals. Also there were some questions I had and their team answered so quickly and helped me make sure the experience was awesome.

CONS

I wish there was a way to customize it a little more, maybe just change the background color and make it more appealing visually.

Reason for choosing WinningBidder.com

Being free to Non-Profit and the ease of use.

A great option for nonprofits!

This software is super user friendly while offering features that would cost additionally elsewhere. It streamlines the entire auction process

PROS

The ease of use, as well as the trip options. Not having a middle man involved for the trips and items Travel Pledge offers compared to other auction software saves time and stress!

CONS

After using this software twice now, I truly can't think of any cons

Reasons for switching to WinningBidder.com

The cost for nonprofits as well as the features provided
