A Bidder Number is a unique number assigned to each bidder that helps both you and the bidder identify their bids while an auction is active, especially when anonymity may be key.
Bidder numbers are automatically assigned in numerical order as individual participants sign up, but if you would like to use your own bidder numbers, we've detailed how in the steps below.
Step 1: Create a new bidder record
Bidder numbers are created at the same time you (or your bidders) create a bidder account, so you'll need to start by creating a new bidder record.

Step 2: Enter your preferred bidder number in the "Bidder Number" field
When you have reached the "Add your bidder's information" screen, you should be able to update the "Bidder Number" field to whatever bidder number you'd like to assign to that participant.
Step 3: Click "Save & Exit" to finalize the update made to the bidder's record
