This is our second year using Galabid…
This is our second year using Galabid for our biggest event of the year. Their customer svc is amazing; they are ALWAYS there to help when needed (even when I had a question at the end of our event at 9pm!) I also conducted a comparison between Galabid and other top bidding sites - Galabid was at the top. You won't be disappointed.

First time experience
This was my first experience running an online auction and this was such a great experience. The help chat was so helpful with any questions that I had. Will definitely be doing this again next year

Great enhancement for fundraisers
A well designed tool for aiding fundraising but the real power is the excellent support available whenever needed.

Outstanding customer service!
We hosted an online auction w/ about 100 items. This was my first time using GalaBid and it could not have been any better. The customer service is unmatched in any program/platform I've ever used. I got immediate assistance and always got an answer to my question. We selected the 4.9% option and were so happy we did. The Volunteer Accounts really improved the experience for our bidders, who were less tech savvy, during our in-person event. Volunteer accounts also made checkout so smooth and bidder friendly. The whole experience increased the overall positive environment of our in-person fundraising event. Events can be stressful. It's nice to use a platform that alleviates some of that stress.

Gala Bid is an excellent option for an annual auction
Gala Bid is an excellent option for an annual online auction to raise money, in our case, for St. Baldrick's. It is extremely user friendly, when you connect to a stripe account for credit cards to be used (a must for an online auction of course), the fees are reasonable and do not take away much (approx 2.9%) of the proceeds you work hard to raise. We have used this now 2 years in a row, even researched other options out there and hands down GalaBid is the best and we are super pleased with the outcome each year, the ease of use, and the funds we were able to raise for charity.

Can't fault the service - truly brilliant, thank you!
It's the first time we used Gala Bid but we'll certainly use them again - it was brilliant. Extremely easy to upload items to the online auction that we created. Support online chat function was excellent - got immediate answers to anything we were confused about. Added donation function as an additional item on our auction - it was so easy and so amazing and we were thrilled with the whole thing!

Pride 2024 Event Fundraising
Our Pride 2024 Event fundraising was a success in part due to the Galabid Auction/Raffle/Donation page we were able to create. It was simple to do, and easy for the participants to view and get their bids in. The pages of auction items looked great! Very smooth process and also the funds were deposited quickly to our account. Thanks!

Very Satisfied
I looked around at various sites to support a one off fund raising auction. Never having done one before I was really impressed how easy Galabid was to use and how flexible it was too in allowing you to add additional items and also pause the auction to make changes. The charges were optional too and whilst we did add charges as a contribution towards the platform fees they were very reasonable compared to others I looked at.

Fantastic platform
Fantastic platform! It was so easy to set up and worked seamlessly. Galabid was perfect for our mountain bike team silent auction. We raised funds for scholarships. Bravo!

A very good result
Setting up an online auction is straightforward and the live chat is extremely useful and responsive to any questions. The auction ran smoothly and without any technical problems. A very good result.

Great platform with truly amazing support
This is a great auction platform, but the thing that really sets it apart is the support.
The support centre is filled with incredibly useful how-to videos, and covers every step of creating a campaign. And they have round the clockl, real human beings on their chat support who helped me troubleshoot items, fixed and uploaded files for me, ran a "health check" on my campaign and gave me load of useful ideas to make things work more smoothly and raise more money--and I was using the free version of the softwre!! They just did it out of a sincere desire to help me raise funds for my school.
Kudos, @GalaBid, for your amazing support videos and for hiring amazing support staff who made this process so turnkey.

Effusive Second-Year Praise…
This is the second consecutive year we've used GalaBid for our annual silent auction. We are a boarding school, remotely located. So for years our auction size (i.e. number of bidders) was constrained to just those families who made it back to campus for the event. My aim was to expand our event such that anyone could participate, and GalaBid was the best choice I could have made. When I learned that the platform was free to me, it was icing on the cake. I was able to begin building the auction site in the fall (for an April auction), and it was easy. I mean easy. There's a live chat feature on the website and EVERY SINGLE time I've had a question, the GB folks are right there- reassuring, timely, knowledgeable. Last year we set a record at our auction, thanks to Galabid. This year.... we more than DOUBLED last year. It was just amazing. Use this folks. You won't be sorry.

So easy to use and set up
So easy to use and set up. Online chat answered my questions and off I went. We raised thousands for our charity via a silent auction. You can pretty much set up your campaign however you want it. Fantastic software

a super intuitive program!
This is a super intuitive program and was easy to have a few different people working on it at the same time.

Great experience with GALABID
I LOVE the mumber of photos they allow us post. A picture is worth a thousand words is the saying and for an online auction it can mean more money! I love the ease of the whole transaction as a coordinator and participant.
