Bidder Support Template - Webtron Online Auction Platform

Your Username must be 6-20 characters, contain no spaces, and can only contain dots, dashes and underscores (. – _) as well as alphanumeric (a-z, 0-9) characters. We recommend using something simple and memorable, like your first and last name joined together, like this: johnsmith

When I repeat my password, it says they don’t match, why?

The Repeat Email and Repeat Password boxes will say your details don’t match until you’ve fully typed out your details, if it still says they don’t match once you’ve finished typing, try filling in both boxes again

Do I have to put in a Company Name and Job Title?

No, only fields marked with this symbol * have to be filled in, the rest are completely optional

What should I put in the Main Phone Number field? And do I need a Mobile or Fax Number?

Your Main Phone Number is the number easiest to reach you on, whether that’s your home landline or your mobile number, it’s completely up to you.

You don’t need to put in an additional number or Fax Number if you don’t have one

Placing a Pre-Bid

If the Auction hasn’t started yet, you’ll see this countdown clock on the Current Auctions page. This clock indicates how much time is left until the Live Webcast kicks off.

Prior to kickoff, you can place Pre-Bids and Autobids, here’s how to place a standard Pre-Bid

Each item will have a green Bid Button located at the bottom here

Clicking the Bid Button will open this Confirmation window, this will give you the additional option to Skip Confirmation on this Lot, meaning that any subsequent bids you place will go straight through without opening the Confirmation window

You’ll now see a confirmation message whether or not you’re the highest bidder or if you’ve been outbid

Placing an Autobid

An Autobid is the highest amount you’d like to bid on an item, if you’d like the system to bid on your behalf up to a set amount, you can click Place Autobid and set the amount:

Whilst you can set whatever amount you desire, we recommend sticking to factors of the current increment (Which can be found under the Current Bid on that item) and also using whole numbers only (No .00 figures)

Once you’ve placed an Autobid on an item, you can see the confirmation at the bottom of the item here

Once the Live Webcast kicks off, your Autobid will become a Commission Bid and the Clerk will place bids on your behalf up to your specified amount.

Placing a Live Bid

Once the Live Webcast kicks off, each item will be auctioned off by the Auctioneer one by one. Each item will be pulled into the ring, enabling this green Bid Button

All you need to do is click the green Bid Button and your bid will be placed instantly. Green and Red messaging above the button will indicate the status of your bid, Green means you are currently the Highest Bidder and Red means you have been Outbid, either by a Floor or other Internet bidder.

Placing an Autobid/Commission Bid during the Live Webcast

Once the Live Webcast kicks off, you can still place Commission Bids on upcoming items, simply scroll down the Webcast page, each item will have this Commission Bid bar that works exactly like the Autobid menu:

Checking Item Results during the Live Webcast
