# Split Bid
Sometimes a bidder will want to split a winning bid they have placed with one or more other bidders. Usually this occurs at checkout.
You can split a closed item bid from either the View Transactions popup window opened from the Checkout page; or, the Activity tab of the closed Item Details page.
# Splitting A Bid From Checkout
Click on the View Transactions button when the bidder has been added to the checkout page.
Next to each winning bid in the transaction dialog will be a "split" icon. Click on the icon to open the Split Bid Dashboard where you can split that bid between multiple bidders.
# Splitting A Bid From An Activity Tab
You can split the winning bid from the Activity tab of the Item Details page for the item. Click on the options menu icon (three vertical dots) at the far right of the winning bidder row.
NOTE
This may require that Advanced Mode be enabled (click on the very top-right options menu) if the "Split Bid" option is not available under the item Activity tab.
This will open the Split Bid Dashboard for the item and have the winning bid details pre-populated.
