Does the experience have to be virtual?

No — BIDLYY supports in-person experiences too (meetups, sessions, events), with an optional public or private location shared with the winner, alongside virtual formats like calls and gaming sessions.

Who decides when the auction ends?

You do, when you set the duration at publish time. The countdown is fixed once the auction goes live — it doesn't quietly extend if someone bids at the last second, which is part of what creates real urgency.

What happens if there's a dispute about whether the experience was delivered?

A 48-hour window sits between you marking something delivered and the payout releasing, specifically so a disagreement has a chance to get resolved — BIDLYY support is reachable 24/7 by phone and email.

The mechanics

How to Auction an Experience

An experience doesn't have an obvious price tag. An auction finds one.

How do I auction an experience online?

Describe the experience, set a starting bid and a duration, and publish it — BIDLYY handles the bidding, the countdown, and collecting payment from the winner. You deliver the experience afterward and coordinate the details in a private chat with the winning fan.

The problem

Most online selling tools are built for physical products with a fixed price: add to cart, checkout, ship. An experience — a call, a session, access, a one-off moment — doesn't have a catalog price, and forcing one onto it means guessing a number that's either too low for your most motivated fan or too high for everyone else.

How BIDLYY solves it

BIDLYY is built around exactly this case. Six steps, the same for any experience: (1) describe what you're offering and pick a starting bid, (2) choose a duration, (3) publish and share the link with your audience, (4) fans bid against each other in real time against a live countdown, (5) the highest bid when time runs out wins, (6) BIDLYY collects payment from the winner and you deliver the experience, coordinating specifics in a private chat created automatically between you and the winner.
