Max Bidding lets bidders set the highest amount they’re willing to spend on a package. The system will then bid for them automatically up to that limit, so they don’t have to keep checking and bidding manually. Bidders only need to take action if someone places a bid higher than their Max Bid.
How to Place a Max Bid:
- Go to the Online Bidding main page and select the desired package.
- Click Bid More and enter the maximum amount you’re willing to spend.
- Click Set Max Bid, then Confirm.
Your Max Bid will appear above the bid buttons. The system will bid for you until you’re outbid or the auction closes. You will be notified when you have been outbid on your package with the new bid amount. If the amount is under your set max bid, your bid will be the new highest bidder. A link is provided with the notification if you want to confirm your bidder number is listed as the highest bid.
Updating a Max Bid:
● To increase your Max Bid, repeat the steps above with a higher amount.
● Max Bids cannot be removed by the bidder, but an admin can do so from the Online Bidding Dashboard. On the rare occasion there are identical bids at the time the auction closes, the bidder using Max Bidding will be the winning bidder.
