Auctions

Can I cancel/delete a bid?

Yes, you can cancel a bid on an auction item directly from your Zeffy dashboard. When you cancel a bid, the next highest bid automatically becomes the new top bid, and that bidder is notified.

How to cancel a bid

  1. Go to FundraisingCampaigns

  2. Click on your auction campaign to open it

  3. Go to the Bids page

  4. Find the bid you want to cancel and hover over the right side of the bid row

  5. A cancel icon (circle with an X) will appear—click it

  6. Confirm the cancellation

What happens after you cancel a bid

Once a bid is cancelled:

  • The next highest bid automatically becomes the new top bid

  • The new top bidder receives a notification that they are again the highest bidder

Example: If you cancel the highest bid of $105 and the next bid was $100, the $100 bidder becomes the new highest bidder and is notified of their status.

Can a bidder cancel their own bid?

No. Bidders cannot cancel their own bids once placed. If a supporter contacts you asking to withdraw their bid, you can cancel it from your dashboard using the steps above.
