Kambeo Hubs - Coming Summer 2022

Important: Platform Shutdown Notice

In July of 2015 we founded Kambeo with the goal of providing a service to the community.  A place where people and charities could engage and impact their community.  Despite the years of effort and the commitment of the team as well as a passionate user community, we are not growing and succeeding as we had hoped.

After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to discontinue our operations.  We will be permanently shutting down our service effective March 30th, 2026.

Service access: Your account and access to Kambeo will remain active until March 30th 2026. After that date, the platform will be unavailable.

FAQs

Here are some common questions the community is asking

Auction winners with pending transactions

When an auction is closed the winners will immediately receive an email notification of their win, with payment instructions. If the item is not paid for, the winner will receive an email notification once a week until the payment is made.

Automatic bidding is a great way to encourage higher bids.
When a person is placing a bid, they will have an option to set up automatic bidding.

 

What is automatic bidding?

Automatic bidding allows the system to place bids on your behalf up to a specified amount.

Once set, every time the user is outbid the system will trigger another bid up to the Maximum Automatic Bid value.

Adding a Buy Now price to an Auction Item is optional.

If a Buy Now price is added, auction bidders will have the option to purchase the item at this price. The bidder using the Buy Now option is required to purchase the item via credit card immediately.

Once purchased, the auction item will close. Other bidders of the item will receive an email notification informing them of the purchase.

Kambeo allows auction organizers to set Shipping and/or Pick-Up options.

If both options are added to an auction item, the Winner will choose between them at checkout.
