32auctions Reviews
Pros
Easy to use, easy to set up. Great use of featuring donors on the landing page and on the product, complete with ability to add the donor’s website.
This auction platform is very easy to use and and a great value. The homepage and bidding pages can be customized and easily draw the user in.
We were pleased to use this software and it met all our needs.
This software is really amazing and I can think of very little that requires improvement. Compared to other auction software, it is not only a real bargain, but a wonderful interface.
Cons
There is no way to fix errors or take down an auction item, even if the auction bas not started yet.
However- each payment done via PayPay was charged and immediately cancelled. I spent an hour on the phone with paypal and they determined it was an issue with 32auctions.
When you are working with the general public, you always worry about usability issues.
This software is misleading, be sure and read their additional charges which are hidden.
"Easiest Silent Auction Software"
Overall: Easy to use software that makes online silent auctions simple.
Pros: The features! They have awesome remote bidding features for buyers, and easy ways for the administrators to post auction items and see who has bid on the items.
Cons: The money they take, but that is understandable if they are a business. Plus, they help others raise more money. I would also like it if it was easier to take cards.
"Auction Changer"
Overall: Overall it has been a game changer for the silent auctions we do. Check out is so much quicker and easier.
Pros: I love that it notifies bidders if they have been outbid. It helps to keep that 'competitive' bidding going even if they are not all in person.
Cons: There is not much I do not like. At times I need to update a description or add a pic, but once someone bids you cannot make changes. I understand the reasoning, but it would be nice to have this option at times.
"Can't track Donors"
Overall: Good at first until we realized that donors are not easily input and tracked. email customer service worked well.
Pros: Easy to set up. Looks good. Price was right.
Cons: We need to be able to easily match donors with the bidders of their items and this software does not allow you to do that. A difficult to manage work-around is necessary.
"My experience with 32auctions"
Overall: 32auctions is a solid option for those looking to host or participate in online auctions. Its user-friendly interface, customization options, and secure payment options are all great features. However, limited customer support and additional fees are points to consider before using the platform.
Pros: 32auctions has a clean and intuitive interface that makes it easy to use, even for those who are new to online auctions.It offers a wide range of customization options, allowing users to personalize their auctions to suit their specific needs.The platform integrates with a number of secure payment options, ensuring that users' financial information is protected and that payments are processed smoothly.It supports several types of auctions, including silent auctions, standard auctions, and Dutch auctions, giving users plenty of options to choose from.
Cons: I have some difficulties getting help from customer support and encounter problems with the platform.While 32auctions integrates with several secure payment options, it may not support all the options that some users prefer.It charges fees for certain services, such as its payment processing system. These fees can add up and make it more expensive to use the platform than other options.
"32 Auctions Will Help Your Nonprofit Raise $$"
Overall: This software is really amazing and I can think of very little that requires improvement. Compared to other auction software, it is not only a real bargain, but a wonderful interface. When you are working with the general public, you always worry about usability issues. 32Auctions has been easy for all of our gala attendees to use. And for that I say "KUDOS!"
Pros: We love 32 Auctions! My nonprofit art organization has used 32 auctions three times over the last two years. It is an easy to use system that has doubled our revenue from our auction fundraisers. The folks who come to our galas find it easy to use, and they LOVE it! It's been a game changer in our fundraising efforts.
Cons: Perhaps the least favorite thing about the software is the visual design of the pages. But I feel it's almost nitpicking because overall 32 Auctions is really wonderful, and it has performed very well for us!
