Make Bidder # Optional / Share a Bidder #
Currently, every bidder must be assigned a bidder number because a bidder number is required in order to place a bid under certain circumstances (eg. at shared bidding stations). A popular guest scenario involves having a couple share a single bidder number so that they can bid together as a single unit. Although this is not possible for eBidding (every eBidder must use an individual eBidding account), for traditional paper auctions, it is reasonable to have couples bidding together as one.
The current solution is to have both members of a couple use one of their bidder numbers and simply…

Better Feedback After Failed Import
When an import fails (donations, donors, packages, bidders), there is no indication of why the failure occurred (other than duplicates). It would be very helpful to get feedback as to what caused records to fail to import.

Show "Who has purchased" List for Fixed-Price Packages
For certain types of fixed-price packages, such as sign-up parties, bidders would like to see who else has purchased the package before committing themselves to purchasing. This feature would display a list of bidders who have purchased the package so far.

Direct Image Upload
Allow users to upload their package images directly to ReadySetAuction. This would be quicker and easier than requiring users to use a 3rd party image hosting site.

Bulk Action to Assign Catalog Numbers
Currently, catalog numbers are assigned to packages on an individual basis. It would be very helpful and a huge time saver if users could batch update all catalog numbers at once.

Additional Output Formats
Printed materials are currently provided in HTML "ready-to-print" format, as well as CSV format for creation of customized materials via mail-merge. The HTML format is not modifiable by the user. And while the CSV format allows for full customization of the printed materials, it requires more expertise from the user (i.e. performing mail merge using Excel and Word).
This feature would add one or more additional output formats that would sit somewhere between the simple but non-modifiable HTML format and the more complex-to-use CSV format.
PDF and Word are two potential output formats that would be simple to use as-is,…

Leaderboard
A live auto-updating leaderboard would enhance the live auction experience for bidders. The leaderboard could be projected onto a large screen and used to highlight special auction packages, acknowledge donors, congratulate winners, and announce upcoming items.

Group Packages into Sections for Printed Catalog
It would be nice to be able to create groupings for packages that could then be used to organize the printed catalog. It would be super if the user could control the order these sections appear in the catalog as well.

Restrict Bidder Registration by Email
Some organizations would like to restrict bidder registration to those with email addresses of a certain domain. For example, only allow bidders to register if they have (and use) an email address ending in "my-organization.org."

Configurable Defaults for Bidding Style & Bidding Parameters
Allowing the user to specify the default setting for Bidding Style, as well as suggested values for Starting Bid, Minimum Raise and Win-It-Now amounts, would save clicks and data entry time when adding new packages. The bidding parameter defaults would be specified in terms of percentage of a package's value.
