🔍 Overview
The Permanent Bid Permissions screen allows you to:
View all existing permanent permissions for your buyers
Add or edit new permissions for any bidder
Apply global restrictions or approvals independent of specific auctions
This screen is not tied to a particular auction and is intended for long-term bidder management.
👤 Where Else Can You Edit Permissions?
Permanent permissions can also be set from within the Registrations section of any Current Auction:
Go to Current Auctions
Select the Registrations tab
Edit a bidder’s approval status
If marked Permanent, the status will carry over to all future auctions
These will also appear in the Permanent Bid Permissions screen
✅ Types of Permissions
You can set:
Approved – Bidder is permanently approved for all auctions
Declined – Bidder is permanently declined for all auctions
Bid Limits – Set a dollar amount a bidder can bid before needing manual approval
💡 Pro Tip
If you want to soft-block a bidder without a full decline:
Set their permanent permission to:
"All Bids for All Auctions = $1.00"
This allows them to bid only up to $1, and any bids above that will trigger a pending status, requiring your review.
This method is discreet and doesn’t notify the bidder that they’re blocked.
