The settings which control the Who, What, When and How of Bidding at your online/mobile event are all found at:   Admin > Site Settings > Online/Mobile Bidding > Bidding and Payment Settings:

• When do you want most items to open for bidding?  When do you want them to close?  You can easily edit some or all times later from the catalog, but specifying Default open and closing times here will save data entry time as your team enters new items.

• What Bid style do you want to use?   Quick Bids (single click buttons) can encourage bidding frenzies at a live event.    Max Bids (ebay-style)  allow supporters to essentially place multiple potential bids at once.   Do you want to use Extended Bidding to make sure you capture all last minute bids at closing?  

• Who is allowed to bid?  Anyone?  Ticketed Guests and/or Invited Users only?

• How do you want items awarded to the winners?   Automatically at closing?  Or triggered manually?  Do you want winners to receive an email notification or will you be inviting them to self check-out?
