Signing Up Online Bidders Tutorial Videos: Printable Quick Reference Cards (QRCs):

If you're using our MoiblePro™ or MobilePlus™ packages for online bidding, all of your guests will need to be registered to bid. Registration requires first and last name, an emaill address and a credit card on file. A cell phone number is suggested, but not required. If a cell phone number is provided, that guest will be able to receive outbid notifcations and winners notifications via text.

There are many ways to get your guests registered for online bidding. All of these options (links/QR codes) are available from the Communication Tools menu option, under Shareable Links and QR Codes Find more info about using software links and QR codes HERE!

Links to the online bidding pages, ticket purchase page and online bidding sign-up pages are somewhat cryptic and are therefore intended to be presented as hyper-links embedded in text in emails or on web pages. They are not intended to be something a person would type in or copy and paste into a browser. If you are producing printed material such as a flyer or brochure and you want to provide a shorter URL link for online bidding, we suggest you create a shortened using websites like TinyURL or Bitly

People who want to bid online on your items should not be requesting access to your group as a member. Members have access to your contacts data and other internal information specific to your group. They should instead be signing up as an Online Bidder via one of the methods outlined above. Group members may also sign up for online bidding by going through the same process above and using their existing Silent Auction Pro account credentials.
