I didn't even bother trying to write back to ask WTF. What a waste of my time filling out the for for ProBid. I'm going to stick with my $50/month BidNav.
Probid and Probid ( Plus + ) are two different products.
The new one is Probid plus ( new for Aug bidding ) its an automated computer program that builds your bid groups and emails them back for input by you.
The Probid only no plus is usually done in 2 bases each month and is rotated around the system. It is hand built by a PBS trainer and emailed back for you to input.
IT will not allow anyone outside access to their server so thats why you have to input bids yourself.
