How to See Bids (Bid History)

Direct answer: There are two bid history views. To show bid history to bidders on an item, it appears on the item slideout, under the bid box. New auctions start with that off. To see every bid per item as an admin, or to remove a bid, stay in Campaign Hub. Under CAMPAIGN, click Activity Feed, then open the Bid History tab.

Pick the view that matches the question.

Show bid history to bidders

Use this when you want guests to see bids on the item.

Bidders see bid history on the item slideout, directly under the bid box.

It shows 5 bids and scrolls for more.
Times use the auction's timezone.
The list updates on its own when a new bid is placed.
View-only items are excluded from bid history.

New auctions start with bid history turned off. Existing auctions keep their current setting unchanged.

Bidders cannot remove a bid from this list. Removing a bid is an admin action on Activity Feed → Bid History.

See every bid as an admin, and remove a bid

Use this when you need every bid on an item, or you need to take a bid off.

Go to your dashboard.
Click Manage auction on the auction card. That opens Campaign Hub.
In the left sidebar, under CAMPAIGN, click Activity Feed.
Click the Bid History tab. Stay on this tab.

The heading is Bid History by Item.

The tabs on Activity Feed are Live Visitors, Live Analytics, Financial Summary, Item Performance, Bidder Activity, Bid History, and Downloads.

Bidder Activity is overall bidder activity. It is not the per-item bid list. Use the Bid History tab to see bids on each item.

Note: There is no sidebar item named Post Event Tasks. There is no sidebar item named Auction Analytics. The page URL may still include /post-event-tasks/reports. Do not open Item Catalog for the admin bid list. That list is on the Bid History tab.

What the admin Bid History tab shows

Helper text: Complete bidding history for each auction item, showing all bids in chronological order.

Cards on this tab: Total Items, Total Bids, Avg. Bids per Item, and Most Active Item.

Buttons on this tab: Expand all and Collapse all.

Search placeholder: Search by item name, number, bidder, or user_id...

Each item card on this tab shows the item name, category, Starting:, High Bid:, and the bid count. If an item has no bids, the text is No bids placed on this item.

See every bid or remove a bid

Stay on the Bid History tab.
Click Expand all, or click Bid History on an item card on this tab.
Read the bid list in chronological order.
Remove a bid from that list when you need to take one off.

Each bid shows the bidder name, amount, and date and time. The winning bid shows Winner. Some bids also show Buy Now.

Click Collapse all when you want the list closed again.

Do not use the bidder item slideout to remove a bid.

To cancel a purchase, delete a bid, or remove a winner, see How to Remove a Bid, Cancel a Purchase, or Remove a Winner.
