Are you with a non-profit organization and looking for an easy, fun and affordable way to raise money?

If so, then the ReadySetAuction Online Auction Basic or Premier Service is the tool for you.
Your online auction can be up and running in just a matter of minutes!
Not a techie? Not a problem!
We built ReadySetAuction for users who have little technical knowledge. There’s absolutely no software for you to install or html to learn.
You can even share the work of managing your online auction among any number of your committee members.
Easy To Use
Simply log in to your ReadySetAuction account, and enter details about each of your auction packages: a title, description, displayed value, donor, donor’s web address, image web address, starting bid, bid increment and Win-It-Now price, which is optional. ReadySetAuction instantly posts the information to your online auction catalog. It’s that quick and that simple!
Customizable
To customize the look of your auction site, insert your own banner and add your own text and image to the welcome page. Make it easy for visitors to peruse your online auction catalog by defining up to 25 categories.
Moreover, when you purchase the ReadySetAuction Sponsor Recognition Add-On Module, you can add up to 12 clickable sponsor logos to your auction website’s home page. It’s a great way to raise additional funds!
Easy Online Bidding
Quickly raise money with a short online auction, or extend the online bidding for up to eight weeks.
The experience of your online bidders is just as important to us as it is to you! When a bidder is ready to bid, she will register and select her own user name and password. You and your committee always know exactly who your online bidders are and how many bids each bidder has placed. Rest assured, privacy is of our utmost concern. We will never sell, share or reveal information about your bidders or other contacts. Click for more about our Privacy and Security Policy.
Smart, Sophisticated Online Bidding
ReadySetAuction’s sophisticated bidding intelligence with auto-generated “You’ve been outbid” emails keeps bidders actively engaged and encourages lively online bidding, resulting in higher bids and more proceeds for your organization.
Holding an event following online pre-bidding? You decide on a per item basis whether to accept outstanding maximum bids as absentee bids from online bidders who cannot attend your event. And if you choose the ReadySetAuction Premier Service, ReadySetAuction automatically generates your printed catalog and printed bid sheets with the starting bids equal to the highest online bids.
Electronic Closeout
When your online auction closes, simply click a button and ReadySetAuction will email a notification to each online auction winner. The winner can select whether to pay securely online by credit card or PayPal (if you’ve made these options available), or he can print an invoice to mail in with his payment. Click for more information about integrating a merchant account and/or PayPal account with ReadySetAuction so your online winners can pay online.
You will be notified immediately by email when a winner has paid online; and the winner has immediate access to his receipt.
