How Our Auctions Work

Before you place your first bid, please understand how our fundraising auctions work:

Each bid costs 1 credit from your balance
Your bid raises the price by a small amount (usually a few cents)
Each bid resets the countdown timer, giving others a chance to bid
The last person to bid when the timer reaches zero wins the item
Winners pay the final auction price (often much lower than retail)
All bid credits support the fundraiser, whether you win or not

Important: Bid credits are non-refundable once used. Each bid you place is a contribution to the cause.

I understand how the auction works and that bid credits are non-refundable

What is AutoBid?

AutoBid automatically places bids on your behalf so you don't have to watch the auction constantly.

How it works:

Enter the number of bids you want AutoBid to place
AutoBid will bid for you when you're outbid
It stops when your bid limit is reached or you win
Other bidders won't know you're using AutoBid

Bidding Strategy:

Passive (Default): Waits until the final seconds before placing your bid. This conserves your credits and is recommended for most users.

Tip: As long as you have more bid credits than your opponents, the Passive strategy will help you win while using the minimum number of bids.
