Proxibid Unveils Bidder App 5.0, The Next Generation of Online Bidding

ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Proxibid (www.proxibid.com), the world’s largest real auction marketplace, today unveiled its new online bidding application, Bidder App 5.0. Bidder App 5.0 is the industry’s most advanced online bidding application, providing bidders from across the globe with a newly designed, easy-to-use and intuitive interface.

“Bidder App 5.0 makes bidding in auctions on Proxibid even easier”

“Bidder App 5.0 makes bidding in auctions on Proxibid even easier,” said bidder John Serembus. “As a frequent bidder, I am pleased to see enhanced navigation, larger images and the new group lotting feature, which makes it easier to bid in upcoming lots. This is a great improvement over the previous application.”

Bidder App 5.0 includes several new features, including:

• The bid button is larger and includes the item price and multiplier if necessary. Bidders will know exactly how much they are bidding with every bid.
• Bidders will always know the status of their current bid. Any messages pertaining to the bid process will appear right in the bid panel.
• A new group lotting feature will allow Bidders to pre-select lots ahead of time. This will change the bid price, even while bidding, ensuring bidders always know their current bid.
• The lot selector will be a “pop-up.” If bidders are awarded the group, the only action they will be able to make will be to select lots.
• All “pop-up” messages will be cc’d in the message center to ensure bidders never miss a message.
• Improved navigation in the catalog and lot detail views provides faster access to important information.

“The improved user experience in Bidder App 5.0 further illustrates our commitment to providing the most sophisticated online bidding application in the industry,” said Ryan Downs, President of Proxibid. “New features, including the updated message center, larger bid button and real-time bid status offer a heightened level of transparency you won’t find with any other provider.”

Bidder App 5.0 offers the ability to return to “Watch Only,” which means bidders can log out of the active bidding application and return to the “Watch Only” feature. Bidders can also login to the application from the “Watch Only” feature. This feature adds an extra level of security while making it easy to log back in at any time to place a bid. This is especially important for bidders who are only interested in specific items during an auction.

A new “My Lots” tab allows bidders to track important information such as lots won, a list lots on which pre-bids have been placed before and during the auction, and a cumulative list of pre-bids and lots won during the auction.
