Definition –Bid, or Increment Bid, refers to when the Bidder clicks or taps the Bid button on an Item to place a Bid the current increment. In a Timed Auction and on the Marketplace, clicking or tapping Bid will open a Bid Confirmation panel and prompt the Bidder to confirm their intent to Bid, and also give them the option to Skip Confirmation for this Lot. In a Webcast Auction, clicking or tapping Bid will enter a bid on the current increment instantly.
Definition – At the most basic level, Bidder is a universal term that refers to someone who has successfully completed the Create Account form on your Portal. We use the term User in place of Bidder inside the Webtron Dashboard, i.e., Users & Groups > Users = your Bidders list.
Bidder Registration Status controls refer to the buttons and options available inside the Webtron Dashboard’s Auction Registrations menu. Each individual Auction has it’s own Auction Registrations menu, and the Bidder Registration controls found within this menu enable a Dashboard Admin to manage Bidder registration statuses, which in turn control whether a Bidder has the ability to place bids on that specific Auction.
Unintended Notifications – Using any of the Registration Status controls defined below will send that Bidder a notification email. If you have not used these controls before, please get in touch with support@webtronoa.com to ensure the email template sent to the Bidder is customised to your intended wording.
