iBid
iBid is a web service for mobile bidding and charity auctions, including silent, live, and online formats. Auction AutoPilot supports the auction cycle from soliciting items and managing a catalog through bidding and closing. Guests can bid remotely, receive instant text alerts when outbid, and get organizer messages by text or email. Organizations can brand the bidding experience with a logo, colors, sponsor images, and a message. After closing, guests receive a text link to a digital receipt. iBid runs with Events.org, and its site says donor information can be exported through an Open API. It describes donor information as secure; Events.org says stored card information uses industry-standard encryption. The free plan lists 3.5% payment processing fees plus $1, which can be covered by the bidder, and a $100 referral credit. Event-day support is advertised at 866.513.7627.
