What's the difference between webcast live bidding, internet-only bidding, and internet absentee bidding? The FiveBid platform supports three different types of bidding: • Webcast Live Bidding – allows internet bidders to bid live against floor bidders. • Internet-Only Bidding – for auctions conducted completely online. • Internet Absentee Bidding – used for pre-bidding prior to a live, in-person auction.

Featured auctions provide auctioneers with an excellent opportunity to reach bidders quickly through the paid promotion of specific auctions. The top three spots on the FiveBid.com home page and some state portals are auctioned off weekly (every Monday by 1 p.m. Asia Time). These featured spots are also included at the top of the weekly email blasts to FiveBid customers, providing extra exposure to those auctions.

Hot Auctions are the auctions that have received the most views. On the FiveBid homepage under Hot Auctions, click View All to access a list of all current Hot Auctions or click Browse by on the menu bar and select Hot Auctions.

Hot Lots are the most-viewed auction lots. On the FiveBid homepage under Hot Lots, click View All to see a list of all current Hot Lots or click Browse by on the menu bar and select Hot Lots.

Once users are logged on to Fivbid.com proper or a FiveBid auctioneer/auction company’s website, they can select an auction, view the lot list, and click the Watch (black star) button on a specific lot to add it to their personal watch list. When an item is added to a watch list, a pop-up box provides an opportunity to add personal notes for the specific item. To remove an item from the watch list, users click the black X button next to the lot.

Users who have logged on to Fivebid.com proper, a FiveBid state portal, or a private-label site and who have registered with a credit card (based on optional auctioneer credit card retention policies) can then place bids on an item. When viewing a lot list for an auction where bidding is open, the bidder can click the Bid (blue plus sign) button to place a bid on that item.

FiveBid’s private-label offering gives auction companies an exclusive site for building their brand plus non-branded exposure through Fivebid.com proper and any corresponding FiveBid state category portal. A fully searchable auction calendar is provided for both the auction company’s cataloged and non-cataloged auctions. Auctioneers can upload all of their events to their auction calendar and will only be charged for the auctions that have bidding enabled.
