Are you looking for a simple and intuitive optional bid history to improve bidder confidence and enhance your auctions? Webtron has the optional features you need for your online auctions.
Simple and intuitive optional bid history for your timed auctions
Timed auction bid history is an easy, modern way to increase clarity, transparency and peace of mind for your customers when bidding online.
The bidder’s suburb and paddle number are displayed for each bid made on an item in Webtron’s bid history, which is visible on each of your goods. Providing bidders with greater transparency and clarity while also protecting their privacy.
There is also a ‘you’ tag displayed in the bid history next to each bid a bidder places, so they can easily tell which bids are their own. The bidder’s paddle number is also visible as soon as they log into an auction, making it even easier to keep track.
A green “highest bid” tag shows next to the bid at the top of the bid history, confirming for users which bid is the highest bid that has been placed on the lot thus far.
Additionally, autobids are supported for timed online auctions, pre-bidding prior to a live webcast auction, as well as during the live auction event on Webtron’s online auction platform. There is no doubt that autobids increase sales income. Online bidders can bid whenever they want and up to their own personal bidding limitations as they see fit thanks to the ease this provides. If an autobid is made, it can be displayed with an optional “autobid” tag next to it in the bid history. This makes it much clearer for other bidders if they are immediately outbid.
Bidder Anonymity
Bidder numbers are dynamically generated on a per auction basis. To ensure bidder anonymity at all times.
Customisable to suit your business’s needs
Since every auction business is different, Webtron’s online auction software allows for the flexibility you need to tailor your auctions to suit your needs. Bid history customisation options include:
- Hiding the “autobid” tag text
- Altering the green “highest bid” tag text
- Altering the “you” tag text
Or, don’t want bid history for your timed auctions? Webtron recognises that every auction business is unique, so there’s also the option to disable bid history if this option isn’t right for you.
