The overall reputation of the company is severely tarnished by numerous customer complaints highlighting a pattern of deceptive practices and unmet promises. While some customers initially found value in winning items, the majority express frustration over unfulfilled orders, lack of communication, and difficulties in obtaining refunds. Concerns about the legitimacy of the bidding process and claims of the site being a scam are prevalent, leading to calls for legal action among dissatisfied users. The company's customer service approach appears inadequate, characterized by long wait times and unresponsive support, contributing to a negative sentiment among its clientele.

Ruined my sons birthday today thought I was getting a good deal got ripped off completely from them haven't received any things I bought from them but they got paid soon as I ordered them
To anyone reading this - more than likely you have been scammed and hurt by Beezid. There is information being shared that Beezid has been defrauding their customers for a very long time. The good news the site is on "stand by" and they can not hurt anyone else. The bad news is the victim count is very high and the damages in the thousands of dollars. There is information on a forum that a couple of hundred of customers are participating in. It is called Pennyauctionsforum.com. This is a place to go to learn about others experiences, the type of fraud perpetrated and how to get your money back through chargeback. Also, there may be a class action law suit and a place to register your information in the event that occurs so you may participate. I hope to see you there.
I tried contacting the BBB which took 4 tries, they kept closing the complaint saying I didn't list a company I was complaining about. My responses to them got madder and madder and didn't get a real response until I made a statement that they were acting like Beezid or protecting them. At that point they responded saying they couldn't do anything because Beezid is in Canada and they have no authority there. They gave me 2 websites in Canada to try

I contacted all 3 by email but only got the one response. Maybe someone else could give it a shot an see what happens. I don't call long distance and email leaves a footprint.
I am in the same category with others on this site, I was conned in to buying thousands of dollars in bids, and won several auctions over a few months and have not received any products as yet! Thissite is a total fraud and will drain you for nothing!
I'm definitely in favor of a class action lawsuit!
I lost thousands with them never received items, had items in store and hundreds in unused bids. Filed complaint with Canadian BBB. Never did get response
I have been waiting since July to receive a couple of items. I rec'd a few of things the things I've won, but all of a sudden my orders stopped coming. I've called several times only to be told they would be forthcoming and they changed vendors. The most recent I wanted to close my account so I bought a fire pit. Used the balance in my wallet and paid the difference. It has been in "order status" since July and now I can't get a hold of anyone. I want my $$ back and if there's a class action suit, I WANT IN... I've spent way too much of my time, trying to get resolution and it's a joke.
Site is on standby. If anyone wants any more info... https://pennyauctionsforum.com/index.php... in the search box type in Beezid and you'll see a forum where everything is pretty much explained.
I also won items on beezid in July and still haven't received anything but the small items. I keep calling them and they keep saying your items are coming. They lie to you and say you can get 3 or 4 times your money back in prizes. It's just a scam
I want my money back. If there is going to be a law suit I'm in.
See Michael's 9/30 review and request for Beezid VENDORS to join him in a possible suit to force Beezid to make good with what is owed its Suppliers. I as a member think ALL members should ask to join in. Members orders not received - return cash in Wallets, value of won items in their Store, etc.

I have won itams back in first week of July and still nothing yet every time I talk to someone they tell me that their are changing suppliers and they will see why I have not yet received the itams yet I am still waiting on computer, pot&pan, zpad, folding table, and even more I have over 140. Dollars in wallet they said I would start receiving itams quickly last Friday went on site today to see if anything has shipped and see it looks like they are no longer working. Hope they make good on what is already owed
I won a handful of things like an iPhone SE and still haven't received it months later. Rip off.
I asked What is going on with the site and why is everything on standby? Beezid response: Thank you for your comments.
Beezid auctions are currently paused as we are undergoing site maintenance. Transactions site-wide have also been paused as this unscheduled maintenance affects many aspects of our processes.
Please be patient as we continue to work on these issues. We expect to have some type of resolution as soon as we can.
I have turned BEEZID over for collections in Montreal, Canada. I am looking for vendors to join the collection action and share legal expenses. If you are a BEEZID vendor that is not being paid, please contact me.

If you win anything you'll be lucky to get it and if you do it'll take up to 3 months and that's if you write them and complain constantly for weeks on end. I've got one more item i've been waiting on for over 2 months and can't get them to respond to any of my requests. To make it worse I've seen them auctioning off the same item and them the winner flipped it and put up for sale in their store. They've done this several times now since i won and paid for my item.
That is why I'm filing a complaint with the better business bureau.
After 7 weeks of not receiving my won items, I called Beezid and asked for a complete refund of my money. They'll promise you 2-3 weeks delivery but it's a lie. Still not sure if Beezid is legit or not.
Beezid right now not shipping the orders except for the very cheap wins. The bidders are complaining on pennyauctionsforum.com that Beezid has closed up the wallet area of the site to not allow bidders won money to be transferred, They recently identified a bidder who is an employee and that employee is running up the auctions very high. There is excessive collusion and cheating on the site and you will read about it on the blog. Beezid does not do anything about the cheating because the cheaters have money and Beezid is in financial distress. A lot of the bidders who bid on Beezid right now are saying on the forum I mentioned that they think Beezid is going to go bankrupt. DO NOT GO ON THEIR SITE You will only be giving the your money and even if you win which is unlikely they will only ship the items that are valued at under $20.00 Please don't go there.
I won a few gift cards and have been waiting 3 months for my items. I called their several times and just get the runaround. Now no one will even get back to me. I think it is a shame that they keep taking your money and don't ship your winnings. I use other sites and don't have this problem.
I love penny auction sites but not this one. I have 6 items owed to me from May and they gave me the run around for months. I finally spoke to someone who said they were having problems and way behind in shipping.
I spoke with many other users and everyone is having the same problem. Why in heck do they continue to take peoples money knowingly that they cannot ship the product, I think this is intentional fraud and we should hold the owners personally responsible. Also, they are no longer advertising on google... hmmm
If you are also having this issue I suggest you write a review so more people don't get hurt. We will be in contact on the forums to discuss a class action suit. I understand sometimes companies fall behind but 4 months is a long time and I am very angry that they continue to run auctions, take peoples money when they cant ship the product. They must be stopped!
I won auctions on this site in may. I have still not received the products. I call all the time and the say their on their way. But still nothing. I consider them the worst auction site at this point.
I'm sayin' it with all due respect, beezid ain't worth a velvet painting of a whale and a dolphin gettin' it on.
Answer: Whe I signed up there was NO mention of buying bids. My oly saving saving grace was filing a fraudulent charge on your card You will have to close the card, but it is worth it. I don't know how long ago you made the acct, but i would get on the phone with the bank first thing tomorrow and handle this. They are crooks, but you have to learn your options whe you make the mistake of signing up with them. I hope this helps.
Answer: Yes they will with out notice
Answer: I lost a lot of money (thousands) on this website because I obviously fell for it hook, line and sinker and, of course, your coach will keep getting you to buy bids until you are broke, just like in any casino. That is all these sites are is gambling. The house always wins, them being the house and if you do win something, most of the cheaper stuff is just that Cheap. Looked on there the other day and they actually had paper towels to bid on. I don't know how they get away with calling this an auction site. I have been to plenty of auctions and if you don't win the bid, then you don't lose your money unlike here. When you first sign up they will make sure you win and then it's downhill from there. They change the rules all the time to suit themselves. And you will never convince them that anything is wrong, they won't give you back 5 bids--too greedy. My advice is to get off the website and don't look back. They will start calling and not let up! The last time I posted here, I heard from them the next day and they asked me to take my comments down--if they are so legitimate why would they do that? Needless to say, I didn't.
Answer: Most of the bids only cost. 01 -. 03 -. 07 depends on how you buy bids... You can see the average cost of the "winners" bids when the aution closes over on the right side of the screen... YES the same bidders are in there most all the time, so called power bidders... Yes they use the AUTO bid function, YES some people have said they feel like some of these bidders are "FAKE" computerized bidders that Beezid uses the program to build up the price of an item. After all that is how Beezid makes their $$... MY advise is to be very cautious, you will never get wins of value compared to the amount of $$ you spend to buy bids... Their "Coaches"... their job is to talk you into buying more bids and spend more of your money... that is their job... and they have a way of talking to make you think they are really "Helping" you to bid smart! It is BULL!
Answer: In your question you asked,"Why is everyone giving you bad reviews?" Who is "you"? Who are you referring to? This is just a site that warns people about fraudulent encounters with a broad range of Companies. Please be more specific with your question or just be smart and read all the reviews and take it how it is. Sorry I couldn't answer your question, but if you're planning on being another victim for Beezid to rip off, that's your choice. We just try to stop people from being ripped off by these so called Companies.
Answer: DON'T BID AND STAY OUT OF BEEZID THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF!
