How it works
The Care to bid platform allows you to hold online auctions using the bidding fee auction format (also called a penny auction).
Bidders pay a fee to purchase bids (think of a token at an arcade) that they then spend to place a bid. Each of the bids increases the price of the item by a small amount and the auction is extended each time a new bid is placed, typically by 10 to 20 seconds. Once time expires without a new bid being placed, the last bidder wins the auction and pays the amount of that bid.
You receive the money paid for each bid, plus the final price of the item; these combined revenues frequently total significantly more than the value of the items being sold.
What items can I auction
Care to Bid allows you to easily create items by using your own photos, and descriptions of items.
Many fundraisers find items online that they can auction off and pay for AFTER the auction has ended. We allow anything that is Legal and can be delivered to the buyer within the terms set forth on your auction. DO NOT auction items which you cannot deliver to the winner.
Like any fundraiser, to be successful, you MUST let people know of your fundraiser. Even though we have a growing user base, You need to get the word out for your fundraiser auction to be a success!
The Care to Bid platform is available to fundraisers who wish to raise funds for their causes. The platform is free to use to set up an auction, however after items have been won by bidders we retain a portion of the funds collected for the auctioned item.
