New GimmeAuctions.com exclusive: Update your Facebook Business Pages with fresh auctions, in as few as two clicks. It’s a perfect way to reach more people and save some time.
Once you’ve submitted a new auction, you’ll find two brand new Facebook buttons awaiting your mouse.
The two buttons allow you to post your new listing on: (1) your personal profile, for your friends to see, or (2) on your business page for fans to see. You can choose one or both; it’s entirely up to you. After you click one of the buttons, a small window will appear.
Follow the instructions in the new window to Publish your auction to Facebook.
Voilà! Check your wall for the new post.

Improved Site Speed
Good news! GimmeAuctions.com is now much, much faster. We spent some time working on the site infrastructure and have made great leaps in performance. You may notice that finding auctions takes even less time than usual!
We thought we should add some new features, too, and got a little carried away…
More Stats
We’ve introduced image view counts for Auctioneers. If you’re an auctioneer, check your My Auctions page to see your new stats module.
Revamped Image Pages
The new image pages include more details about the item and about the auction to which it belongs. We’ve made it easier to navigate the other items at the auction, too, including:
Browse Items by Name
On any item page, you can view an alphabetically arranged list of other items at the auction. This brings us to another new feature, “Image Previews”. More information:
Image Previews
On listings and image pages, place your mouse over small thumbnails and item names to view un-cropped photos of items. Don’t forget to click if you want large photos or details about them! We get carried away looking at the Image Previews, too.
Sort Search Results by Newest Auctions
When you search or browse auctions, click “Sort Newest” to view the freshest auctions first!
View Past Auctions
Looking for an auctioneer with certain specialties? Checking out their Past Auctions should help. The new button can be found on any auctioneer’s profile.
