Didn't realize you have to buy bids it even try to win something. If you don't win you're out that money. Rather like gambling.

Hi Jamie. We encourage all new users to read QuiBids 101, the help section, and contact our support with any questions you may have before signing up and bidding. Our auction model is quite different from traditional auction websites. Copy/paste this link to see some key differences: http://blog.quibids.com/7-ways-quibids-is-different-from-ebay/
Also, we created the Buy Now feature to prevent users who don't win from walking away empty-handed. In your review, you state that "if you don't win you're out the money." That's not quite true. With the Buy Now feature, it allows you to apply the cost of your used bids toward purchasing the product at retail. So if you bid $45 worth of bids into a $50 gift card and lose the auction, just pay us $5 using Buy Now and you'll get the gift card at retail, just like purchasing from a traditional eCommerce store. So best case scenario, you win the auction and get a great deal. Worst case scenario, you lose the auction but get the item at retail with Buy Now. You can learn more about the Buy Now feature here: http://www.quibids.com/en/quibids101/blog/25-Buy-Now-Explained
Please don't hesitate to contact support if you have any questions.
