  • an event with mobile/online bidding throughout;
  • an online only event; or,
  • a combination of some or all of the above.
What do you want to use Auctria for?
  • tracking auction items;
  • online (only) bidding;
  • selling event tickets;
  • selling items for fixed price (eg. raffle tickets);
  • receiving donations;
  • etc.
For online features, what will you be using the event website for?
  • preview items;
  • bid on items;
  • sell event tickets;
  • sell items for fixed price (eg. raffle tickets);
  • highlight donors, and/or sponsors;
