Easy to use and manage the auction from behind the scenes. Very professional platform and great support from Galabid staff.

We were supposed to be auction my prints at an event in London that was cancelled duu to Covid and then had to either postpone the idea for ages or do it online.

Great customer support from the moment we starting planning for our online fundraising event.

It was easy to use and upload items and it was easy for people to register and use. I was fundraising in lockdown for my best friend and i had no idea how i was going to run and distribute my auction.

For a small non-profit that cannot afford higher end online auction/fundraising platforms, GalaBid was the perfect solution.

Ease of use, ability to host an event and raise funds.

The team are great to work with, overall the simplicity is great, text function words well.

Managing the software (while relatively easy) on the night while knee-deep in event management would have been additional stress and burden.

Easy to use for both administrators and users, great customer support.

This was an incredible platform and i am so pleased that we used it.

Highly recommend Galabid, great platform and support from staff.

All my contacts found it easy and a lot of fun to use.

It was easy to use and navigate. The Galabid team answered any questions I had as they came up and were very helpful.

We love using Galabid each year for our Gala Dinner. The guests really enjoy using it and it is a very simple piece of software to use.

The customer facing site was attractive and its ease of use resulted in excellent engagement and results. The automated alerts to the bidders helped raise additional funds for our charity.

This is the first time we had someone buy one of the high-priced buy it now items. Really great to be able to copy and paste things from previous years.

Found it difficult to get the colour options for the main page and the lot items right - it gives several options but none showed.

This put off a lot of guests as they deemed it too much information or too much hard work when they didn't 'plan' on buying anything.

Could of had clearer information on having a silent auction and live auction integrated. This was quite difficult to understand and was not set up until the event start time.

This was a huge time saver and help. In the training, [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] was kind and helpful.

Great service, great user-friendly system and great customer experience.

Easily customisable, excellent functionality, great account management.

I am not an IT expert, so this was great). Follow up directly before and after the auction was much appreciated as it reassured me that we were on target.

We managed to raise a lot of money through the silent auction, enjoyed working with [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN], and found the platform was aesthetically pleasing and worked well.

I love that these kind of solutions exist. I'm sure it will be a good fit for many events.

SENSITIVE CONTENT] and co. though have seen it all at this point and will be great assets to help things go smoothly for you.

Front end very slick and professional, easy to share across socials. Text messages and prompts sent to bidders helped build excitement on night.

First time in the online auction scene - very happy with the Galabid experience.

Great software, ideal ease of use and functionality.

Easy to set up and very user friendly. Catalog is showing nicely and have some great features for administrators.

Overall, I was happy with everything except the price.

Watch out for other vendors- their performance and Gateway fees are extremely high. I love that I can select my own Gateway with the best rates.

A little restricted on the type of reporting/reports we could run. Had to run a couple different ones to get the info I needed.

I loved the customer support and online tutorial.

Additionally, the videos and online help is awesome. Whenever we've had a question or an issue School Auction.net has been quick to help.

I loved that payment was easy, checking in was easy, and reports were easy.

We specifically loved the self check-in and out capabilities, the ease of entering catalog items and photos, and the ease of emailing guests.

You can change the colors but the layout options are limited.

Easy to import info from previous software. Intuitive and generally very user-friendly.

What I enjoyed most about this software was the ease of use and how much it helped us organize a school auction to raise money for our PTA. It was so simple to load data into, a real time saver.

This software is easy to use, once you invest the time into learning it.

SchoolAuction.net is a life-saver. I can now effectively organize fundraisers without hassle.

The tech support is excellent. Fairly easy to learn and easy to use overall.

The customer service at SchoolAuction is nice and will help you out.

No text to give option and check in process a bit complicated.

The integration for the business side of the auction was fantastic.

The sponsorship set up was confusing at first. We solicit year-long sponsors, instead of event-specific sponsors.

In fact, we were so pleased that we are looking at how we might be able to use it for other events as well.

A thorough base of Email Templates,  cataloging ease and ticket sale ease. Common filters and customize buttons were helpful.

We got rapid support when we needed it. Including a few more calls to their founder who also helped us get connected with a payments gateway.

We needed something more modern and responsive. We were investigating more expensive, top-tier packages when another volunteer saw SchoolAuction.net in an ad.

My first year running an auction, I used software already purchased by the organization. It was cumbersome, difficult and not web based.

I called and had their founder on the phone in no time and he quickly put me at ease with their ability to meet our needs and support our events.

If you're doing this all manually, or if you're tired of worrying about the cost of different services or percentages--I highly recommend School Auction. I was so nervous auction night.

Intuitive, very little training for volunteers. Very easy to integrate credit card processing connection.
