## Reviews

### "WinningBidder.com is a WINNER\!" — 5.0/5

> **Martin** | *03 July 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ease of use was what I liked most.  Everything was seamless between entry, bidding, and getting our cut.
> 
> **Cons**: I don't recall any features or functionality I didn't like.  As a non-profit, lower costs would always be nice.

### "Elementary School Auction Site First Timer" — 5.0/5

> **Gina** | *09 May 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: How easy it was to save favorites and navigate the site to see all the items.
> 
> **Cons**: I wish there was a way to group auction items on the back end to make bulk changes when we were doing updates.
> 
> Awesome experience with the reports and overall bidding experiences.

-----

### "A Pleasant Overall Experience" — 5.0/5

> **Susan** | *24 June 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy access to help via website resources as well as live agent help.  Very easy onboarding and set-up and great choices of trips, experiences and collectible items.
> 
> **Cons**: None. I really do not have a bad thing to report. The event we had included a more senior group of men that had less interest in the online version, so we may adjust next year to transition to a live auction event.
> 
> From the initial call to the ease of management of winners, our organization had a great experience with TravelPledge and WinningBidder\!

### "Raising Forsyth Review" — 4.0/5

> **Keturah** | *22 April 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love the many options for travel experiences and gaining a percentage of prizes listed. Also, it offered more than travel, but artwork and miscellaneous as well. I also liked how you can add a logo for those who sponsored the added item.
> 
> **Cons**: What I really disliked was that you couldn't add multiple trips of the same experience. People had to bid against themselves in order to win multiple trips. meaning they would have to bid higher just to win multiple instead of the option to list it multiple times. 
I also didn't like if we wanted to close out and then open back up for the things that didn't sell, we would have to start a brand new auction versus opening it back up.
> 
> Overall, the functionality of the websites is great and very user-friendly. Payment processing is a bit slow, but I'd rate it 7/10 based on the return on investment and site management.

### "Easy way to be organized\!" — 5.0/5

> **Natasha** | *12 June 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ease and organization of it\! It let me add all of my sponors and donors too, and their logos, that was so great\!
> 
> **Cons**: That people had to use their credit cards and scan qr codes, older people got confused and didnt end up bidding because of it
> 
> It went pretty well\! I am going to try to spend more time learning it and maybe there's a way to fix the problem I had\! Thank you\! I'll be using you again\!
