How to use the bulk bid feature

The bulk bid feature allows you to submit bids for multiple lots or SKUs using a single CSV template. To utilise the feature, follow these steps:

1. Click on the 'Bulk bid' button and download the Bulk Bid template from the hyperlink.

   
2. Enter your unit prices under the Unit Price column. Depending on the sales format, unit prices may be mandatory for all SKUs.

   
3. Save your file and upload it.

   

The file format must remain as a .CSV

1. Review and select the acknowledgement, then click 'Submit'

Once you have successfully uploaded your bids, they will be displayed in the Bid Activity table. A timestamp indicating the last submission will also be shown (applicable for Tender sales only).
