More than 50 items on auction/Over 50 items on the auction campaign

I would like the number of items for an auction to be increased to 100, because at the moment it's 50 items and that limited us in the number of funds we could raise, we would have had 75 lots to put in and we didn't want to make 2 links because it's confusing for buyers.

I would like the ability to offer more than 50 items on my auction form.

Hello everyone! Thank you for all of your comments - I am very happy to announce that we have just increased the limit from 50 items on the auction campaign to be 200 items. Thank you for all of your feedback to help improve Zeffy!

Urgent request to increase silent auction item numbers

Urgent! Please fix this feature now! We are hosting a charity event in just a few days and just learned that only 50 items are allowed for the silent auction. This makes it almost impossible for us to run this feature smoothly as we have a little over 100 items I am asking based on all the complaints that I see below and our urgent time -sensitive need to have this fixed. If you can please have someone from your team contact us to update this feature so that we can have one smooth, silent auction link running.

My organization has an event coming on April 18. We have much more than 50 items in our silent auction. It's just not convenient to ask people to go back and forth between 2 different auction pages to bid. This is not a good experience for donors at all! Based on other people's comments, Zeffy should really reconsider the donor experience. That's what this is all about - raising money for a good cause! The item limit should be increased to at least 100.

We have an event coming up Saturday and we have way more than 50 items for the silent auction. I am requesting for this limitation to be waved. Thank you

I was really angry that the 50 item limit wasn't stated clearly at the beginning of the process. Easier for users? What a joke! Must be a money or data center issue on Zeffy's end. I convinced my board this was the way to go, then I wasted everyone's time to now have to start over somewhere else. Let users decide how many items they want or tell them your limit up front. We are days away from launching our auction and this platform failed us. I'm back at square 1 trying to find a platform that works and I wasted everyone's time.

I support this request. I discovered the problem once our auction started when I wanted to add a 2nd wave of lots. Creating a 2nd page may cause confusion. This is causing us a major challenge right now.
The possibility of grouping items into sub-sections would also be very practical.

The Auction Item Limit of 50 total items needs to be reflected in the UI

We ran into the item limit long before we ran out of items on our auction list, and it was a total surprise. The item limit is clearly called out in the help page, but it is invisible in the actual UI for adding items to an auction. Worse than that, the UI for adding items is built "endless scroll" style.
Another place the item limit should be clearly called out is on the campaign Overview page. Under the Sales Overview header there are 3 large, mostly empty, boxes for "Total Raised", "Bid Count", and "Total Saved on Zeffy". There should be 4 boxes, directly after the "Total Raised" box we should be presented with an "Item Count" box formatted as X / 50.

Agreed! I didn't realize this until putting together the auction. The suggestion for two links is not practical as you will lose bidders and funds.

Same, also it would lower confusion if we could group items under collections so not all 100 are on one long page, but could have similar items grouped under a few collection pages. But in any case 100 please!

We would also like to see this on the ticket campaign as well.
