HiBid
Questions & Answers

On HiBid, negative remarks can only be removed by the seller, and we also cannot require an auctioneer to accept a registration. If you'd like to address a review or resolve a block, we recommend reaching out directly to the auctioneer involved.

HiBid does not process auction-related payments; this responsibility lies with the individual auction companies. If you notice a $1.00 charge from HiBid, it's a temporary authorization to verify your credit card during registration. This authorization is not an actual charge and will disappear from your statement within a few days.

Thank you for your question! Many bidders have successfully used HiBid to purchase real estate, with the transaction proceeding smoothly, including deed transfer, as outlined in the auction terms. That said, real estate transactions can vary based on state laws, the specific auctioneer's terms, and any conditions set by the property seller. We recommend carefully reviewing the auction's terms and conditions and reaching out to the auctioneer directly for details on the transfer process. If you have further questions, please feel free to reach out—we're here to help!

The only instances we've encountered where bidders couldn't place bids mid-auction were due to issues with their internet connectivity or if the auctioneer pauses the auction.

Shill bidding is an unethical practice where fake bids are placed to inflate an item's price, often by the seller or someone working with them. It's illegal in many places as a form of fraud. While we can't monitor every auction for shill bidding, please contact HiBid support immediately if you suspect it's occurring.
