Text Bidders

Text Bidders

You can also text your bidders whenever you want.  You can text them when your auction starts if you have bidders from a previous auction or you can text your bidder when your auction is ending.  Be aware that 40% of registered bidders have opted out of receiving texts whereas 90% of registered bidders have opted in to receive emails.  Registered bidders would rather receive emails than texts.

Click on your Auction Setup heading, click on the Menu icon, click on Text Bidders.
