-
Does AuctionMethod allow users to place a bid higher than the minimum bid amount?
Yes. Bidders can place a bid higher than the minimum bid increment. This is called a "proxy bid" or "maximum bid" and allows the system to automatically bid on the user's behalf up to their maximum amount.
-
Can I require users to place bids in defined increments?
AuctionMethod has been built to be flexible, so you can run your auction your way. Our auction event solutions allow you to set defined bid increments, ensuring a consistent and fair bidding process across all auctions. -
Can I offer fixed-price items alongside auctions?
Yes. You can list items with a set “Buy Now” price for direct purchase out of an auction. Fixed price classified event types can also be used for inventory sales or meeting consignor price expectations. -
How do sealed bid ‘blind’ auctions simulate a silent auction?
Blind bidding hides all other bids from participants. Bidders simply submit their best offer. The highest bid wins, making it perfect for real estate auctions, silent auctions, or other events where privacy is key. -
Is AuctionMethod a good fit for nonprofit auctions?
Yes. Many nonprofits use blind bidding for silent auctions. AuctionMethod’s auction platform supports non-profits with donation-friendly payment methods, easy item uploads, and direct links for promoting auction items. -
Can I build and display a catalog without opening bidding?
Yes. Catalog-only events let you showcase items online without enabling bidding. This works well for previews, inventory displays, or prep for future auctions. -
Can I import auction items in bulk?
Yes. You can upload auction data via a CSV file or use our mobile app to capture item photos and details on-site. All changes sync to your catalog automatically. -
