HiBid.com’s latest update delivers a redesigned onboarding, registration, and login experience—making it easier than ever for bidders to join your auctions and start bidding with ease.
The new step-by-step sign-up process guides bidders with clear instructions and instant validation, reducing errors and ensuring more participants are fully verified before your auction begins. Auction registration has also been simplified into one action at a time—verifying payment, reviewing pickup expectations, and agreeing to terms—all while still showing the lot the bidder is interested in. The refreshed login and password recovery process also provides a secure, friction-free way back into the action, so bidders can return without missing a beat.
Why We Built this
“Our focus was on eliminating the small points of friction that can discourage bidders from completing the process,” said Matt Schroeder, Product Manager at HiBid. “By streamlining sign-up and registration, we’ve not only made it easier for bidders but also created more opportunity for sellers to maximize participation and results. It’s a win on both sides.”
Results That Matter
The current experience has been available on HiBid.com since mid-August and has produced undeniable results. Comparing the performance of recent weeks to the same weeks in 2024, this flow has enabled a 40% increase in first time bidders through a combination of ease of sign-up all the way through ease of bidding.
Looking Ahead
While we are excited by the initial performance, we’re even more excited to introduce these changes to all sellers’ white-label sites. More details on this plan and rollout will be shared in the coming weeks. In the meantime, if you want to experience the ease of this new flow, go HiBid.com and place a bid of your own!
