The tool was created to help people with online auction and it turned out to be a great way to do fundraising as well. Imagine a church is raising funds for oversea missionaries by conducting an online auction with all the stuff people will donate. It uses MyBidList.com to created the online auction web site for the fundraising event. People visit the auction site and click ‘post item’ to donate stuff and manage their own donation. Collectively the event draws a lot of people and news went out quickly because everybody get to actively participate. The fundraising organizor uses MyBidList to oversee the auction through out the event and annouce the progress as well as to communicate with all the participants. Using MyBidList.com, everyone can easily do a fundraising event sucessfully and enjoy the process as well.

Here are the steps:

1. When you sign up with MyBidList.com and created the auction, you will have a MyBidList website (url) – http://www.mybidlist.com/your_auction_id
2. You now have an auction website that anyone can participate in and promote with. You can also create a blog to promote the fundraising event with link to your MyBidList website (url). In addition, send out newsletter about the event and the website or blog.
3. Let the donation and bidding begin.
