How Bidding Works
Bidding virtually has never been easier! If you are registered when bidding opens for each auction category, you will receive a text message with a link to bid directly from your mobile device.
Through Greater Giving, you will bid using your computer, smartphone, or tablet on all auction items. You have the ability to set a maximum bid amount for the items you are interested in. This will allow the platform to bid on your behalf until you either win or max out your budget. You also have the opportunity to “Buy it Now” through the platform at a predetermined price point or watch the bidding on an item you are interested in by clicking the star icon on the package.
More information on how to bid can be found HERE.
