## Reviews

### "EXCELLENT ONLINE SERVICE THANK YOU  \[sensitive content hidden\]" — 5.0/5

> **Abilene** | *12 May 2026* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The online chat help provided by  \[sensitive content hidden\] was priceless, he was extremely helpful.  Also  \[sensitive content hidden\]Bolton was extremely helpful in getting me back into my account which shut me out for some reason.
> 
> **Cons**: I am new to it so not very experienced. there is not much that i can comment on it but for some reason i was logged out and  \[sensitive content hidden\] had to help me get back in.
> 
> SO far it has been GOOD and I am looking forward to learning more about it and getting to know the program better.

### "New user - very happy and would use it again\!" — 5.0/5

> **Caitlin Cunningham** | *1 December 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to navigate and set-up. Platform looked great from a user perspective. Had multiple options set-up for raising money on the night - live auction, silent auction, raffle and donations.
> 
> **Cons**: As we didn't budget for full assistance setting up and it was my first timing using the platform, I did miss some items that should have been done before the event, but nothing critical and I'm aware of how those should be set for the next event that requires a platform like this.&#10;&#10;The auction closed early on the night (could have been a timezone problem as we were in a different state), so would make it a manual close next time to avoid any potential error.
> 
> Great product, easy to use and helpful customer service. Very quick to help when I had a question and the Live Chat on the platform meant there was always someone around to help. &#10;&#10;I was nervous on the night being a first time user, but it went smoothly. Great investment for a slick charity auction\!

### "School Art Auction" — 5.0/5

> **Kim** | *2 December 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: the online chat is excellent. the reporting features afterwards are great and the online auction features like all the extra details you can tweak and the comms functions are also excellent.
> 
> **Cons**: I can't see the reserve and current bid in my back end view.  I can either see bids on each item, but not what the reserve is or I can see the reserve but can't see what the bids are at.  I don't want to have to download a report to see these details side by side.
> 
> I would say it's been excellent. It's the 3rd time we've used it and it's been fantastic each time.  Having the free (with tip option) this time has made the experience even better.

### "The best platform for your auction\!" — 5.0/5

> **Philippe** | *21 July 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: User friendly platform , no fee, excellent live chat service, always very quick and live agents find the answers in no time. We've used this platform for 6 years by now, couldn't be happier with it.
> 
> **Cons**: I don't see any negatives yet. We started using Galabid during the pandemic, since we could not do an in-person silent auction. The online auction (with Galabid) was so easy to set up and so succesful (we got so much more activity and so many more bids) that we never went back in person\!
> 
> Just super easy to work with, the raffle and silent auction features is what we used the most. Once you've uploaded your items and set up your auction start and finish, Galabid does all the work for you\!

### "I Love Galabid" — 5.0/5

> **Laraine** | *5 June 2026* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is very user friendly and above all 24/7 customer service is superb\! I have used Galabid for five years for our annual Gala. I highly recommend it.
> 
> **Cons**: I really have zero complaints or negative comments. Over the past five years, the platform has been made super user friendly and the customer service cant be beat\!
> 
> Excellent,  easy, quick, efficient. Data entry, uploading photos, editing, all the great reports, very easy close out process. Immediate payment via Stripe.
