Find Your Bidder Dashboard
Verify you’re logged in by looking for your name and bidder number in the upper right hand corner of the event page.
Clicking on your name or bidder number, will take you to your Bidder Dashboard.
The My Activity screen displays all of your auction activity. You can also change your payment method and pay your balance from this screen.
On the Ticket Details page, you can update your personal information, add a phone number if you didn't add one during registration, and set your Notification Preferences to receive auction notifications via email and/or text message.
When you’re ready to browse items, return to the Auction Items page. If the host organization has turned on the search and filter features, you can search for specific items, change the sorting order for items, and filter by category, tags, and items with no bids.
Click on a specific item to view the item detail page.
Bidding on Items
From an auction item’s detail page, you can bid on the item by clicking Place Bid. This Auction will be using a Maximum Bidding system. This means you will set the maximum amount you're willing to pay for an item and the system will automatically bid for you if you are outbid, up to the amount you specify.
If the hosting organization has set a Buy Now price for the item, you'll see that amount in the bidding modal. To buy the item outright, simply set your bid to the Buy Now price.
After you place a bid, the item page will update to reflect your bidding status.
Checking Out
When the auction ends, a popup will appear, telling you the bidding has ended. Click See What I’ve Won to return to the My Activity page of your Bidder Dashboard.
Here, can review your purchases and change or add your payment method before checking out. When you are ready to purchase your items, click Pay Balance.
Please Note: You cannot pay for auction items until the hosting organization has opened checkout. If an auction item category has ended, but you don’t see the cost of your won items reflected in your payment balance, it probably means the host has not opened checkout yet. You’ll need to check back after checkout opens to complete your payment.
Once you’ve submitted a payment, you’ll see a link to View Receipts. Your receipts will also be emailed to the email address associated with your auction account.
Remember - you can switch between the web and Givi at any time using the same login credentials.
