An Introduction to Your “My Bidspot” Account

Once you are registered on Bidspot, you can create watchlist, alerts, check on items you have won or bidding on and other actions in your account. Making it personal and easy to navigate.

First, login to your account in the top right corner. Once you are logged in, you will see tabs at the top.

Click the tab of information you would like to see. You can view all items at once, only items won, items not won, or what you are currently bidding at. You can also view a watchlist you create.

To easily save items you’re interested in but have not yet placed a bid on, you can add them to your watchlist.

Go to any catalogue page and click add to watchlist on items you would like to watch, then click the watch button.

A pop-up will show confirming the item has been added to your watchlist.

The item will now show on your My Bidspot watchlist tab.

Next to your watchlist tab is My Alerts. You can create alerts on Bidspot to receive notification of an item list that you are interested in.

To create an alert, go to your My Alerts tab. Name your search, for example, if you would like to be notified of one of Alliance Construction auctions, name your search Alliance Construction or whatever you will easily recognise.

Next, type in keywords or search terms and separate each word or phrase with a comma. Click the Save Alert button.

Your saved search will now show up on the top. Icons will appear indicating what is being done with your search. The envelope indicates you will receive an email alert if any items listed are relevant to that search. If you do not wish to receive email notifications on that alert, you can click the envelope to remove email.

If you click on the magnifying glass, the site will indicate your search which will land you on the results page where you can sort and add to your watch list.

If you would like to delete any alerts you’ve set up, just click the delete icon.

Finally, you can also view invoices and update any profile information at any time in your My Bidspot account.
