5 Stars to all the reviews! Thank you I was pretty sure it was too good to be true and was going to be very competitive. After reading MANY reviews almost all a 1 star with bad reviews has confirmed my thoughts. Thank you ALL!

We all saw that creepy $#*! bee on the television telling us to go to B - E - E - Z - I - D.com, but that bee is the spawn of Satan and will steal your children if you are not looking. Mr. McBee McGee, or better known as the Supreme Scam Lord, has bots all over his sketchy $#*! lookin' website that will outbid you every time, and force you to buy more bids, and waste your money on an 18¢ Samsung Galaxy S8 that turns out to be fake. That crusty $#*!, sneaky $#*!, scammin' $#*! bee should be locked up in a mental asylum for the rest of his life.

I noticed right away that the bidding was a scam so I told them that II wanted my money back. They would not provide a cash refund but I did get a refund to buy stuff at the store. Pricing was slightly higher than Amazon when you added the shipping so at least I made the best of it without wasting a lot of time.

Tip for consumers:
Don't waste your time bidding.
Get a refund for use at the store if you already got scammed.

So a short story, I was browsing on CL for a iPhone 6+ found a couples that very cheap like half of the price from everyone else selling their and decided to email one and text to the other. Almost instantly a response back that the item was just sold and direct me to go to beezib.com. This is when I notice it is FRAUD/SCAM for sure because the ads on CL just listed like a hours ago and how could be sold already! A LEGITIMATE SCAM YOUR MONEY. And I didn't know that you have to put in money before bidding, thank you to all the shares.

I don't know about this site being a scam or not. Couple things I do know. Before the timer ends debious names like "money who" pop up and bid the exact same price before some legit user might win. I'm not stopping here. I entered the code for the $100 in New Year 2015. I never got it. After hearing how this company is bankrupt I advise to stay away until the company paid its debt and fees

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 was just playing around with different penny auction sites when I found Beezid. Okay, let's give it a try. Spent a few hundred $ and won some good stuff but started getting phone calls from high pressure solicitors (bid coach) who would help me win high-end items if I invested in a bid pack at 1000 bids or more ($550). No thanks- declined the offer. I was told to call back when I wanted to start winning. Started playing around with Beezid a few days later when my phone started ringing repeatedly. Same gal wanting to help me out. NOT INTERESTED! Creepy, they are watching me bid. The bid site is expensive as most items are 2 to 6 bids per bid. They don't offer a lot of items to bid on at a time so competition is high. Shipping is very slow 2-3 weeks and the kicker here... you pay for that slow shipping. It's a showy, fun to look at site with the little bee guys offering deals on bid packs but (as I was told by the bid coach) Beware... these are bonus and power bids... meaning?!?!?!? Well I never did figure that out. Too much ins and outs with Beezid and a fast way to lose money. If you want to gamble and play around a little, it's okay as you will win something as a new Bee. Still you need to know what your getting yourself into.

Tip for consumers:
Stay in the Cherry Zone as a New BEE as you will be in over your head if you bid in other auctions. The Cherry Zone protects you from power bidders and is limited to new members. Take advantage of this protection. Watch what comes up for auction before jumping in. You can win some good items as a New BEE.

It is possible to win on Beezid, but you need lots of promo bids and someone to help you. People to help are only a phone call away. Beware, though, of pushy salespeople. I was told if I made a purchase on Monday, I could postpone my promo bids until I returned from a trip I was planning the coming Thursday. This trip took me off line for five days. Of course, when I returned, I was told "that was a lot of promo bids", and if I purchased even more bids, I could have the promo bids back. I suppose I was sucker for believing what I was told; I should have known better.

Tip for consumers:
Only believe the deals you see on the website. Do NOT believe what the sales people tell you.

First of all, there are very few really exceptional items. Many are screwdriver sets, $15 gift cards, really kind of ho hum items. When they do have something worthwhile, there are so many bidding and those are folks with tons of bids and know how to win so its a complete waste of time! You can call and get a "coach" to help you win. Whenever I called, he suggested I buy more bids. Also when you do find something you might want to bid on, it's usually two or fours hours later!
I was dumb enough to buy more bid packages with the promise from this guy that we would work together and he would help me get something really nice. So far I've won a rice cooker, and a few bid packets of 50 bids and a $15 Best Buy card.
I would not recommend this to anyone.

Used to be a great penny auction site. It seems like they cut back on the number of auctions quite a bit so it's not that fun to bid anymore.

Did not send items won nor answer complaints. No wonder they want "up front" money.

I have bid on a few items and won. I got the item as well. What I did next was, I bought through their store. Now this is where the issue is. I have eight pending items dating back to Jan. And when I checked to see what is going, I get excuses like, "call back and talk to blah blah or I guarantee a call back. Well, either way, I never get anywhere. Meanwhile, I have hundreds of $$ spent, and nothing in return.

If you sign up with beezid. I suggest you do the cherry bids study the site first get as most bids as you can in the cherry auctions which I believe only gives you two. If you wait you can get 500 bids or 400 bids - don't even bother with the 50's. Then you get 3 cherry auctions and if I had stopped there i would have been a winner. But no... greed... they actually have reps call you and tell you how good you are doing and how you could win more if you had a coach. Just invest another $550 and buy 1000 bids that will surely get you a TV or a laptap an ipad, except once you leave the cherry auctions. That is not the case. There are people on there that make a living at these auctions and as my coaches would tell me don't bid against the big bidders icuinthemirror, fr8dispatch, imger8, unknownmember, needahobby, willbuynow4, rogeroot, so after you are done not bidding on those auctions you can end up with a nice set of screwdrivers, chisel, iron, art box. I hope this helps someone else not do what I did! I told them they need more auctions for the low level bidders since we are obviously the ones supporting the auction as the big bidders walk away with the nice prizes.

Bids are too expensive especially since you usually have to bid a few hundred times to actually win something. I spent $40 on 50 bids, I even followed the strategies. It's fun if you like gambling though.

I still have'nt made up my mind on beezid. I have bought 800 bids over the past couple of weeks in 50 bid auctions at a time for about $28 each which comes out to around $450. I know, I know, its alot more than I intended to spend originally but whats done is done.

I used those bids in 16 different auctions, using around 50 bids at a time for each auction. I won 2 out of the 16 auctions. So I basically spent the same price as both the items I won are worth retail. A beezid rep actually called me after the first winning auction and told me the item would be here in 2 weeks. That sort of reassured me, but its been over a week now and I've not even recieved an email with a tracking #. Now my biggest worry is not recieving the items I won.

I refuse to spend any more $ until my items arrive. Even if they do come on time, I'm not sure I'll "play" again. The chances are winning are slim and I think I just got lucky a couple of times. The site is addictive and is, like many have said here, sort of a gambling site that you can go broke on if you don't know when to stop. I more or less broke even (if I recieve my items), but sometimes its best to count your loses & walk away.

Okay you have to admit, these people are smart! Mac book pro went for $55.87. Sound good right? For the wed site yes for the biders no so much. You see they are selling the bids for $. 60-. 80. So that macbook took 5,587 bids or $3,352.20- $4,469.6 plus the original $55.87 that they "sold" it for. From apple that computer is $1,099.99. This web page is amazing- AT MAKING MONEY-
Honestly I wish I would have thought of it first!

Scam unless you spend hundreds to bid hundreds of times on an item which will cost you a lot more than waiting for a store sale! Don't do it unless you have hundreds of dollars to spend on something that will cost less to just go buy!

When I seen the ad on television I thought this was a cool idea. I even spent $$$ trying to win items. My only luck at winning an item was during the "cherry auction."

In my opinion, I would not waste any money on this auction. I visited this website on a daily basis hoping to find the right time to place a bid. They say timing is everything and I have yet to find it. Also, I do not like the fact that you don't know when the auction will close. Several times I have sat in front of the screen watching it say "going" only to be several more minutes before it is actually done. Other times, I have sat there and it says "going" and it closes before I can even get a bid in.

I would definitely stay away from this website. I am a person looking out for the best deals like the rest of them but unless you have plenty of time and money on your hands, I am not sure you will find it on this website.

I jumped in with both feet (not unlike so many others) and got whooped. If you must play, you should get the largest available bid pack. With the correct code you should be between 13.75 and 18.3 cents.One word of advice to all newbies- you cant win an auction untll the timer reaches that timer reset number, so dont bid until then.

I wish I would have come here first... but luckily I got out after only $40 (50 bids) into it. I don't think its a total scam, but, there is quite a learning curve, and overcoming that curve will cost you some $$$. Even then, you aren't gauranteed anything because there will be someone out there thats smarter at it. If they want it they seem to get it. You can usually tell quite a bit by the handles... tryandtakeit, mamaneedsnewtoys, etc... the best policy is to watch an auction and place a fictional AUTOBEEZID, in your head... whatever. Write it down and see how fast your bids are used up. I was stupid about it... placing a range of AUTOBEEZIDS from $3 - $5 and a bid amount of 20 bids. (This technically would only cover me from $3 - $3.20) seemed like every penny it took another bid... and it took AUTOBEEZIDS from everyone else in that range. If the item cost $3.21 yur done. I thought this was also kind of unfair, If you were bidding on an item and set the bid range for say...$10 - $13 using 50 bids... the item sells for LESS than your $10 -$13 range (your bids never get placed because they are not within the current price range the item was sold at!) Say the item is SOLD for $7.95... wouldn't it be better for BEEZID and the user to do a "BIDBUMP" (thats trademarked by the way BEEZID) to $10 and resume the auction? I figure they don't do it because why give all those "penny" bids from $7.95 - $10 away? Thats an extra $205 dollars at least! (bids cost about a dollar) Its not worth it to them to make the auctions really strategic. In the end, I am no longer on BEEZID... I blew $40 bucks and it was kinda exciting for a while. Go ahead and try it but make sure you watch auctions for a few days to see how they work and don't get in too deep money wise. Maybe you too could win a car like that dude in the winners story did! I found it to be an experience... an a lesson that, "If it seems to good to be true, 99.9% of the time it isn't". Good luck and stay to the right...!

My review will be simple and to the point.

I assure you i don't work for any penny auction nor affiliated to any of this type of business. Think what you like, since it takes a full analysis to judge your own point of view.

First point here is if you looking for a hint if you gonna get a deal, the answer is YES. But you will have to fully understand what happens in these type of bids. Just knowing the surface of how it works, won't help you much. You will have to understand the full aspect of it, which i am not here to teach you that. If you planning on getting a IPAD or a 50~70" plasma for 10 bux, Go play the lottery, but still you'll have less chance of getting something from that type of game. If you feel anxious and can't wait to play, go try playing poker on a high stake table without the knowledge of the game.

My point is this: Know the foundation of this, rules, strategies, and then start bidding accordingly to your knowledge. Assuming this site is not botting (AI auto bidding) the chances are high if you play your cards right. I think this is a great site and i dunno if they do BOT (AI). If they do, shame on them. If they don't then maybe i'll be a customer in the future. So far i have won over 400% of my investments back from selling my stuff on ebay. Your loss, my win.

Whoever created the concept of a pennyauction i give my hands.

Beezid could rot in^#!&%&*$%#! FOR like i care. But please do your homework before talking crap about all other penny sites. I am just tired of looking at all these non sense reviews of how much the company made or totaling the gains of a company. This is basically an idea that generated lots of capital to the person whois selling just like buying a TV in BestBuy and then in some other around the corner pap&mom store selling cheaper. This is a Gamble+Bids combined type of auction. Keep that in mind before you go and start bidding on these type of of sites.

Peace

If you plan to get good deals here that is not the case. Buying and spending bids on the website will cost way more than the price of the manufacturer. Also, cheap names "Iwillnotstop" take over the bids and bid for 1 hour straight. He was bidding 25 each time and 100 bids are $70.00. He also refused to let the countdown time reach zero, which no bidder does because that will be a waste of bids. This led me to think that he probably is a Beezid employee. I'm not sure how this business is the most trusted on the commercial. After seeing the reviews here, why Beezid really is on the web makes it clear.

Tip for consumers:
If you intend to bid on this site anyways...

- Stay in the Cherry Zone which new bidders get. This zone locks out veteran bidders

- Take advantage of the bid packs Beezid puts on sale. You bid for FREE and only pay a fraction of the final price.

- DO NOT bid on big items like flat screen TVs, there are bots running the bids there.

Well, for the last 3-4 weeks, i've been going in and out of beezid.com. One year ago i did the 10 free bids and never came back to it. This year i had some extra cash and i always like a good bargain, i received a phone call from beezid and they offered me 500 free bids with my purchase of a bundle, i went to the website and saw that 500 bids cost $300, so i took the bribe, cause come on free $300 bucks. And the sales guy guaranteed that i will win something and we spent 20 minutes on the phone talking about strategies. 2 weeks one day ago i saw an interesting item, an apple ipad. Those are expensive and the bid just started, i took the sales men strategies and surprising to me, i won, for the amount $88 plus shipping which was $19, it took all of the 500 bids that i got free from them plus about half of what i originally bought, so out of my pocket was roughly $280. In my mind and in my pocket books 'mind' i saved money, cause a new apple ipad does not cost $280 bucks. So i claimed the item and it states that it takes 2 to 3 weeks for delivery. Well today i just started on my 3rd week. And i should be receiving my new ipad this week. I have confidence that i will receive my item, but after reading alot of negative reviews i got worried. But everytime i call beezid during business hours, they always answer and respond to my questions accurately. I will keep who ever is interested updated after i get my ipad, well if i get it. We'll see, i will respond to my review later on this week.
