Step 1: Login on the day of the auction

On the day of the auction, go to farmersbid.com and go to the auction that is active and the animal you want to buy. You can log in by using the ‘Sign in’ button next to the animal and you will be redirected to the partner page to start bidding. The bidding screen clearly shows what time the auction is, or ‘sign in’ on the right top corner of the screen.

Important: Did you login on a specific partner page, then you need to login on the same partner page as the one you registered earlier.

Did you register on farmersbid.com you can login on farmersbid.com and participate in any auction organised.

Enter your email address and password. This will automatically take you to the bidding system.

Step 2: Activate the bid button

Before you can bid, you must first activate the bid button. You can click on the lock on the ‘bid’ button to unlock it.

The unlocking of the ‘bid’ button is an additional protection for the buyer. This reduces the chance of accidentally making an offer.

Now you can bid on the offers at the auction.

Step 3: start bidding

After activating the bid button, take part in the auction by clicking the bid button. The bid button always shows the last bid.

When you participate in a live auction online, you will see the auctioneer live and see bids from the venue and of course the bids from other online bidders.

You can also participate in a timed auction, which means you can add you bid for a specific animal within a predefined time frame. The bidder who has the highest bid after the time frame has passed, is the winning bidder.

Step 4: Is your offer accepted or not?

When you have made an offer, the screen will show you whether your offer has been accepted and whether you are the highest bidder.

Step 5: You are the winning bidder

When you are the highest bidder, you will receive a confirmation email from the auction house that organises the auction. They will explain how you can complete your offer and how to pay.

Step 6: After the auction

You will keep in touch with the auction house to complete the transaction.
