Bidders
Bidders are central to your auction. There are no limits on the number of Bidders you can have registered for your auction/event. You can register Bidders individually, through the auction website, and import them from an Excel (XLS file format) spreadsheet. Bidders can also register themselves online if you enable the online registration feature set.
