eBidder Activation Credits Defined
Activation will happen automatically only if your Administrator has enabled auto-activation (Admin > Event Settings > Event Details). If auto-activation is not enabled, then a staff member must activate the bidder using the "Actions on Bidders" menu at the bottom of the Patrons > Bidders > Manage page.
One activation credit is needed to activate one bidder. Once activated, the bidder can place as many eBids and purchase as many fixed price items in the eCatalog as they like. There is a limit of 9,999 activation credits (This means a limit of 9,9999 potential bidders) for any event. Please contact support if you believe you will exceed this limit.
