Our model
Charity begins at home.
That is why BID is free.
We built BID so every charity, from a village PTA to a national trust, can run world-class auctions, ticketing and giving without a platform bill. Here is exactly how we do it, and how we keep the lights on.
Platform cost to your charity
Commission on funds you raise
Transparent about how we earn
How we make money
Two honest revenue streams. No charity fees.
We do not charge you for the platform. Instead, we earn when you use optional partner lots, and when your bidders choose to support us.
JustDo partner lots
When you add a lot from the JustDo catalogue and it sells, we take a small commission from the partner, never from your charity. JustDo sources direct, so even after our commission the items are typically up to 100% cheaper than going through traditional providers.
Optional bidder support
At checkout, winning bidders can choose to add a small percentage to support BID. It is completely optional, fully transparent, and the charity still pays nothing for the platform.
The JustDo advantage
Sourced direct. No middleman. Better value.
JustDo works directly with clubs, agents, management teams and private collectors, not anonymous wholesalers. That means the same signed shirts, framed memorabilia and celebrity experiences can cost your charity up to 100% less than traditional providers, even after our small commission.
- 100% authentic, fully authenticated items
- No upfront stock cost, only pay if it sells
- Professional packing and delivery handled for you
- Pre-filled into the BID CMS in two taps

What stays free
The platform. The support. The features.
We will never move core features behind a paywall, charge per auction, or invoice you for using BID.
No charity commission
We never take a percentage of what you raise from your own lots, donations or ticket sales.
No feature paywalls
Every auction, ticketing feature, bidder alert and display URL is included from day one.
No contracts or setup fees
There is nothing to sign and no invoice for using BID. Ever.
Payments on your terms
Use our payments for a flat 3% transaction fee, or connect your own Stripe and pay BID nothing at all.
Free forever. No catch.
Run your auction, sell tickets, and raise more, while every penny you raise stays where it belongs.
