How to Opt Customers Out of Mailing Lists in Auction Flex and HiBid

This guide explains how to permanently exclude a customer from receiving marketing emails or mailers through Auction Flex and HiBid

Updated over a month ago

There are three places where customer contact information may appear and need to be removed.


1. Opting a Customer Out Within Auction Flex

Step 1: Open the Customer Record

  • Go to Customer Center.

  • Search for the customer using any of the following:

    • Customer Code

    • Name

    • Phone Number

    • Email Address

    • Reserved Bid Card #

  • Double-click the customer’s name to open their record.

Step 2: Access Mailing List Settings

  • In the customer record, click the Mail Lists button on the left side of the screen.

  • You will see two panes:

    • Left pane: Mailing lists the customer is not subscribed to

    • Right pane: Mailing lists the customer is currently subscribed to

Step 3: Permanently Exclude the Customer

  • Check the box labeled “Permanently exclude from all mailing lists.”

  • This removes the customer from all existing lists and prevents them from being added to any new lists in the future.


2. Removing a Customer from Email List Maintenance

Auction Flex also stores email addresses in the Email List Maintenance area. Follow these steps to remove an email address manually:

  • Go to Miscellaneous → Email List Maintenance

  • Locate the email address you want to remove

  • Highlight the email entry and click Delete


3. Unsubscribing a Customer from the HiBid Mailing List

If you use HiBid’s bulk email tools, a customer’s email may also be stored in your HiBid Private Label site’s mailing list.

To manually unsubscribe them:

Open your browser and go to the unsubscribe page, using this format:
https://[YourHiBidDomain]/email/unsubscribe
Example: https://hibidplayground.hibid.com/email/unsubscribe

Enter the customer's email address

Click Unsubscribe

This action removes the customer from your HiBid mailing list and ensures they no longer receive marketing communications sent through your HiBid site.
