Online / Mobile

During your flight, as your auction is in progress, all Online/Mobile bids received will be recorded in this table.

1.  New Bid.  When you need to place a bid FOR someone, on items that have a Sales Type of Online/Mobile, you can do that here.  Click "New Bid" button.

        a.  Item Number.  Use the drop-down menu to find the item from the available items. 

TIP:  If you don't see the item you're looking for, it's either inactive or under Sale Type Bid Sheet/Live or Fixed Priced.

        b.  Bidder.  Either enter the user's bidder number, their email address, or click Lookup User to locate the user from the list by name.

        c.  Amount.  Enter the amount of the user's bid.  The bid must be at least the next incremental amount.  However, it can be any amount and the bid will be raised to that amount.

        d.  Add Row.  If you are entering multiple bids for a user or users, click Add Row, to add another row of fields to enter additional bids.  You can add many rows but none can be left blank.  Delete any blank rows before proceeding.

        e.  Create Bids.  When you click Create Bids, you are submitting those bids and saving.

2.  Edit Online/Mobile Bids.  Click the edit icon to open all bids for a specific item.  

        a.  Create New Bids.  Create new bids for that specific item.

        b.  Cancel Bid.  When necessary, you can cancel the last highest bid.  This will automatically make the 2nd highest bidder the current winner.

        TIP:  When an auction is still in process, if a user expresses a desire to cancel their bid, it's best just to let it ride and see if they are outbid.  If, at the end of the auction, they are the winner, and you want to cancel the bid for them, the 2nd highest bidder will automatically become the winner and a notification email will be sent to them.  See below example.
