Quibids hasn't updated their website in years and still advertises gameplays and other features that no longer exist. Quibids continues to offer a way for Power Bidders to continue to dominate the auctions by selling the Bid Busters. Since they have huge amounts of voucher bids they will almost always win the auction and have even more opportunities to bid on auctions. Quibids is like gambling in that as a regular bidder you are not going to come out ahead. You ARE going to lose money The power bidders on the other hand are winning hundreds or thousands of dollars a day.
Of course the million dollar questions are: How do we know this operation is legit? How do we know these power bidders aren't "Sticks" an old carnival term for people hired to pretend they are playing and winning a carnival game to draw in more people. The answer is: you can't. So bid at your own risk. Quibids almost never offers an item for sale now without including "voucher bids" as part of the item.
The idea that voucher bids are free is ludicrous at best. You either bid on a voucher bid auction or you pay for them if you win a gift card auction. Lastly, the real bids you used to bid on an auction are returned to you as voucher bids if you lose Quibids doesn't offer hardly any products to win.
Their selection of prizes is very limited to the same old gift cards they have been offering for years. You do not see all auctions all the time. The web page will refresh on its own and an auction will disappear. If you refresh again, it will reappear.
So, in some way they are regulating what auctions you can see and bid on. I have been a player almost since inception. I avoid many players, that I keep data on. I have noticed recently since fewer auctions are available and they are not 24 hours any longer, that some players are ALWAYS playing.
I cannot see how this is logical. These are players that have huge amounts of voucher bids stored, that make it impossible for new and small players to win. I have seen power players use voucher bids to win a 50 voucher auction obviously for intimidation.
In all fairness to novices the site needs to limit amount of auctions played along with number of wins. The costs on winning auctions allowing a player to go above 12 auction win in a 28 day getting costlier for veteran players that are playing always. New players will keep the site stronger and allow novices a better chance to avoid the skilled players like myself.
Except I rarely bid on bid buster auctions. I enjoy the site and playing, but I restrict myself because I am aware how costly some auctions are. I avoid and especially around 25 power players who will play to win at ALL costs. I am willing to assist any new player if there were a forum, my suggestion to new players thinking of playing Don't. Good luck. Quibids is a total sham. They lure you in with "real" winning bids on great stuff but those are not real bids.
They have their own people or machines controlling some of the bids, then advertise those as "real" winning bids on their site. They'll let new users win their first bid to get them hooked, then after that users get screwed over. Be careful, I thought I was just putting in my information and they charged me without telling me first.
Also, when I submitted my info online, it said an error occurred and that it did not take my payment method which is a visa debit card. Luckily my bank CItizens has great fraud alert and they alerted me like 5 minutes after the charge occurred. I now have to close out this bank account and get a new one because I don't trust what this crazy site will do with my information. Some would say my own fault for not checking it out in advance.
I definitely learned a lesson that not all sites are legit like Amazon, some of these little ones are really out to scam you. Be careful everyone and I do not recommend this site. How many items can I bet on? You can participate in 5 auctions at the same time.
However, please also note that win limits may apply as soon as you win an item. Therefore, if you reach your win limits while bidding in other auctions, you will not be able to participate any further, and will not be re-credited the bids you have already placed in other auctions. If I have bids I purchased and bids I won in another auction, which bids will be used first when I place a bid?
You can choose the type of bid you would like to use first. If you log onto your QuiBids account and click the bid credit history link on the left hand side of the page. When you click that link you will see a box on the upper left hand side of the screen and you can choose if you would like to use voucher or real bids first.
Voucher bids cannot be used in the Buy Now feature. If you used 10 voucher bids in this auction and lost you would have to pay the full retail value for this item. For example if i was in a single bid auction and everyone was biding 1cent at a time and i decided to bid 2cents or maybe even 3cents. Does that still count as 1 bid? You can only bid one cent at a time. The auction can only go up by one cent increments. If yes, then the way I understand it is the customer must decide on which big ticket item is more important to them during the current 28 days, correct?
I am getting ready to bid, watching ending auctions, and watching others bid. Being a beginner to Quibids, just wondering about badges. What exactly are they, and how did i earn one? Badges are earned through accomplishing various feats on the site. Once you claim a badge, you will receive the free bids that are attached. You can claim your badges in the My Badges section of your account. We have different fulfillment facilities in different locations throughout the countries that we operate in.
All items are shipped from these distributors straight to your door! In a earlier response you stated "QuiBids will never let you go over the retail value of an item when using real purchased bids.
When a user reaches the value price of an auction a message will pop up letting them know the issue and will offer them the Buy Now option. The auction will resume. Voucher Bids can be used to win any auction.
However, Voucher Bids will not be counted towards the Buy Now option in any auction. When you place a bid in an auction, whether you win or lose, you do not get those bids back. This is why we offer the Buy Now option on every auction. I noticed on some items, golf clubs, that when you look at the item there are different kinds of clubs. When the bidder wins is there a choice between the 2 different options of clubs?
All available variations will be listed in the auction description. You will select your variation from those listed upon checkout. Is it possible for a single bidder to win an auction if there is a bid-o-matic operating from another bidder? You are able to begin placing bids into an auction once the auction time has counted down to 5 minutes.
I am getting ready to start bidding and I was wondering about the 6 items in the top of a bid page. I checked on each and they all have the same amount of money attached and they all have the same bidder.
Why is that? There are now multiple items available for each auction ID. But now that one product is left up to you! You can scroll through the items available and select which item you would like to bid on.
When you win the auction, you will have the chance to select any of the items available. Why are there several different products in the same auction box that I'm bidding in? I only want to bid on the one I'm interested in. How does that work? That is our "You Choose It" option, which essentially allows you to choose an item from a list of products that have the same value.
It is more akin to bidding on a price point, rather than a specific item. All auctions, for tangible items, have this option. Once you choose the item you desire, the auction page will reflect that choice. This feature allows us to provide a wider selection of items to customers!
The promo code section of registration is optional. To complete registration without a promotional code, just skip over that section. Why is this.
Seem strange that bidding order and all was exactly the same on 5 auctions. If you compare all 5 of those auction numbers you will see that they all match. At times, users will unknowingly have several tabs or windows open that are displaying the same auction, but with a different item from the "You Choose It" section updated on each page. Therefore, while different pages display different items, it is all the exact same auction.
As a rule of thumb, always compare auction numbers! That will help weed out any confusion. What happens to bids that are spent on these auction that a disqualified bidder has won? You are always welcome to send in an email to Support QuiBids. Some products have arrows next to them. Is this pick the item you want to bid on and you may be bidding against someone bidding on a different item?
That is correct! Our "You Choose It" option allows you to choose an item, from that list, that you would like to bid on! Once you select that item you desire, the auction page will reflect that choice. Some users may be after different items, but all the items have the same value price, so it's more like bidding on a price range, rather than a particular item. When you have played as long as I and many other there are only so many items you could use.
I wish they were more diversified and had lower processing or no processing fees. Bob Gettogether. QuiBids is fun, exciting, and competitive. I've gotten some great deals but beware to the competitive people Don't go broke Qbids is probably one of the better penny auction sites but you have to use common sense. For the average person you have to set a budget you are willing to use, since you are in a sense gambling. Watch your competition. The site is riddled with professional bidders that do this for a living, reselling their wins on other sites like ebay or resale stores.
Gift cards and electronics garner the heaviest competition. Can be great fun. Had some great wins and some loses but used the buy option. I urge people fully read anything that ask you to enter your credit card number.
I have not regretted spending on dime on Quibids I have gotten ten fold back. If I had any problems, their Customer Service was quick to solve it! You cannot jump into an Auction and win a big ticket item. All good things require patience and learning. If you do not take time to read Quibids you fail. Read all their blogs.
They teach you how to succeed! Tip for consumers: Go to Quibids Facebook page and read all you can ; there is fantastic tips there from other bidders just like you! Below is just one of my wins!
That is right, Yvonne! We encourage all new users to look around the website and read as much information as possible to help with their future participation. I have also provided a link below to our QuiBids video! This is the best online bidding site, reasonable changes of winnig and very fair. I have won many things,, i highly recommend.
Great, help. Issue was fix within the same day. Was not certain how it works and I had made a mistake. Thank you. Offers bid packages with cash back for product purchases , free daily credits, additional credits at login- all just a scam. No products delivered. Delay excuses include logistics, technical difficulties, promises to rectify the situation- all to no avail.
Company accepted payments, bids, suspended my account, continued to use bids placed despite lockout, ignored all messages, written communication. Attempts to use cash back showed merchant account not enabled.
Attempts login showed login failure. No response from company. Apparently, the people who designed this site have master manipulators to frustrate Consumer Watchdog Citizens Advice , legal entities and have registered at Companies House in Gibraltar with different information posted on the Auction Site. But I decided to go bid on some items since I had already signed up. I couldn't bid on anything because bidding isn't allowed until the auction is about to end!
The "buy it now" prices weren't really deals. I checked Amazon and found the items offered for less, sometimes significantly less.
There is a good selection of items, it's just getting them that's the problem. I have won quit a few auctions on here however I do think the site is outdated and has several things that need to be repaired. The badges system is a complete mess as is the customer service.
They are never willing to work with you and have a "take it or leave it" vibe. Also their "games" offerings do not work even though they show this on their website. I have yet to see one. Anyway this is definitely much fairer than deal dash in my opinion. I bought a first time buyer package and mis read the amount.
I asked for a refund not expecting one because it was mostly my own fault. Support understood and gave me an immediate refund.
Thank You. I am not 'up' on how to do much on the internet and somehow a cost was put onto my credit card. I'd say this immediately shows the unprofessionalism of QuiBids—someone I would not trust my money with. But I may be reading too much into this. If you're currently the highest bidder, and no one else bids by the time the clock reaches zero, then you've just won the auction.
In actuality, if you're committed to winning the auction, but there's also at least two others committed, you've got yourself a pretty good bidding war.
This is the only part of the video that seems to be legitimate. You pay all the above costs with your credit card and fill out your shipping information. Easy enough. If you really wanted to purchase the product, but lost the auction, then you have one chance left—Buy It Now. If you lose, you can opt to buy the product anyway, for the full retail value minus the cost of bids you've already placed. Let's use the video's Wii example again.
It was. Another editing goof? Or a way to make the final purchase price lesser and more enticing? But don't forget about shipping costs! Something they don't tell you about in the video nor explicitly state on their site is that it only credits bids purchased fully with credit cards.
In the QuiBids blog , they try to make users aware that they should use the Buy It Now, so as not to waste their money. It is a fun and risk-free way to do your holiday shopping.
This is an unrealistic expectation that certain customers have. We encourage everyone to set a realistic expectation of how much time and financial investment is necessary to win a big ticket item. If the above information didn't turn you off, then maybe you'll listen to others and save your money. Many users end up winning nothing but debt, calling it a scam. Some believe it's a pyramid scheme.
Others believe it's rigged. And the rest of us just don't care to even risk it.
