Free Online Auction Site

How do we provide our auction platform free of charge? We provide online auctions completely free of charge to fundraisers in return for asking auction item winners to make a contribution to GalaBid when they pay for their auction items.

This contribution is entirely voluntary. Winners can change the amount of their contribution to any amount including zero.

Rest assured, If your winners don’t contribute towards GalaBid’s costs, your campaign will not be charged. Across the tens of thousands of auction campaigns we facilitate every year we receive enough contributions to continue to offer our platform free of charge.
