However, significant concerns arise regarding website performance, excessive shipping charges, and insufficient customer support, particularly in resolving issues related to missing items and unclear invoicing. Overall, while the platform is favored for its convenience and product variety, improvements in customer service responsiveness and transparency in seller charges are necessary to enhance the overall customer experience.

Great and easy to bid. I liked the old style platform better but over all it still gets the job done for all my bidding needs.
I have participated in a number of auctions on HiBid. The bidding process is effortless and the products are of high quality. I have never had an issue with any of the items I have won.
Thank you, Ken! We're delighted to hear about your positive experiences with HiBid. If you ever need assistance or have any questions in the future, don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to ensure your bidding experiences are smooth and enjoyable!
Everything is simple, easy and exciting. I liked everything. I hope that my opinion will not change.
Welcome to HiBid, Halyna! We're thrilled to hear you had a positive first experience with us. If you ever have any questions or need assistance, our team is here to help. Happy bidding!
Easy bidding. Had to keep an eye on your target item, or you could be outbid. Good experience.
I live in Ontario Canada. Since the last few updates I have found I don't automatically go to HiBid Ontario. When I put location as Ontario and look for sports cards within 50 or 100 miles I get inconsistent results. Sometimes Ontario, sometimes US and other times a mix. If I type everything myself (not thru the search) I get the right results, but if I go back one page I don't get the last page I was on, I get strange results. Each time there's an update the program doesn't seem to work the same as it did - from an accuracy perspective. This is very frustrating when I only want Ontario (Canadian) listings, which used to happen when I used the Search function (which I do a lot), with a location of Ontario. I also have to go to HiBid Ontario myself, and I didn't have to before. Help Please! Stephen

Our friends told us about Hibid and we've done it twice. It was easy and quick; not drawn out like other auctions. We got nice, quality items for great prices. They offer two days to inspect beforehand which is a good to do if you can. It was a fun experience and the people running Vero Beach are great. We'll definitely will be checking out their auctions regularly!
Thank you, Linda! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a positive experience with HiBid and found quality items at great prices. It's wonderful to know that you'll be checking out our auctions regularly. If you ever need assistance or have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out. Happy bidding, and enjoy your future finds!
Item was already gone when I showed up to pick it up
Registration is easy and fast. Bidding works well.
I found the process of placing my bids easy to understand. I like the ability to set a limit and not have to check in every 15 minutes to see if it's still standing. Also, being able to quickly access my bids without having to scroll through the catalogue, or memorize a specific lot number was fantastic.
I didn't click the shipping icon, hope things will go smoothly once I speak with someone.
Hi Dodie, thank you for reaching out. To address the shipping issue, I recommend getting in touch with the specific auctioneer from whom you won these lots. They will be able to provide you with the information and assistance you need. If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to let us know. We're here to help!
I had a great 1st experience. I searched what I was looking for and put them in my watch list. I got notifications as a reminder (thank goodness) and won my auction. Follow up emails for shipping made it easy too. I'll definitely be a repeat bidder
Thank you, Jim! We're thrilled to hear about your great first experience with us. We're here to make bidding and winning as smooth as possible. If you ever have more auctions in mind or need assistance, you know where to find us. Happy bidding, and welcome to the HiBid community!
Great experience. The site did crash for a minute during the auction, but came back up after a minute or so.
Thank you for your feedback, Cynthia! We're glad you had a great overall experience, and we apologize for any inconvenience caused by the momentary site issue. If you ever encounter such issues again, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team for assistance. Happy bidding!

This is an excellent way to find those things you need and have been searching for, also other things that you don't and want. Some sites are very good in pictures, size and description, others need some work as one picture does not cut it. Appreciate the work involved and you can go and look at it, sometimes it's just not possible. Overall it is a great experience and the site staff are all very helpful.

Answer: Licensed auctioneer here- auction law is that if you give notice that you need to retract your bid before the hammer falls (or the auction ends online) that the auctioneer is required to retract the bid. Actual law also dictates that bidding must start over at opening bid, not the next highest bid.
Answer: Very easy. If you dont get someone immediately they do call back. But once again if you have a problem with items contact the auction house not hibid. Hibid doesn't auction they only provide the platform
Answer: Most auctioneer there are scammers, a thrift store would be better option.
Answer: YES! Confirmed by an auctioneer I know. Hibid auctioneers can see your "maximum bid" and in most states it's legal to "shill" an auction or to bid against the public bidders - to "ensure reasonable sale prices" per national auctioneers associations. Also, anyone can set up an identity and bid against you. Although that may get interesting when they have to pay a commission to "buy" their own item!
Answer: "Mechanically challenged" is often a term auctioneers use to indicate that an item might not be functioning properly. It usually means that the piece needs repairs, doesn't operate as intended, or may have some technical issues. It's best to reach out to the seller for a clearer explanation to avoid any surprises. By confirming the exact condition directly with them, you'll have a better understanding of what you're bidding on.
Answer: Yes, if you suspect any fraud, please contact HiBid directly at 844-775-4774. Our team is here to assist you and ensure a safe and secure experience.
Answer: Some auctioneers require credit card verification as part of the bidder registration process. This process involves a temporary authorization charge of $1.00 to ensure the card is valid. In some cases, additional processing fees or taxes might cause the amount to appear slightly higher, such as $1.46. Please rest assured that this is not an actual charge but rather a temporary hold that will be released by your card issuer. Typically, these holds clear within 5-7 business days, depending on your financial institution. If the charge doesn't disappear after this time, we recommend contacting your credit card provider for further assistance.
Answer: Thank you for reaching out regarding your bidder rating and the reasons behind it. Bidder ratings on HiBid are determined by various factors, such as your bidding activity and whether you've been permanently approved or declined by auction companies in the past. Unfortunately, HiBid support and bidders themselves cannot view or access these ratings or the specific reasons behind them, as this information is exclusively available to auctioneers. The best way to gain insight is to contact an auctioneer you have a good relationship with or one whose auctions you'd like to participate in. They may be able to provide some clarity or work with you to address any concerns.
Answer: Thank you for reaching out! We understand how it can be confusing when an item is removed before an auction ends, but please rest assured it's not a scam. Sometimes auctioneers encounter unforeseen issues and may need to cancel or relist items. Keep in mind that auctioneers often work with consignors to ensure items are sold fairly, which can involve reserve prices or other considerations that may or may not be visible on specific listings. We recommend reaching out to the auctioneer directly for more details. If you have any difficulty reaching them, we're here to help facilitate communication.
Answer: Yes, HiBid regularly features a wide selection of motorcycles available for auction.
Thank you, Scott! We appreciate your feedback and are glad to be your choice for online auctions. We'll continue working to provide the best bidding experience possible. If you ever have more suggestions or questions, feel free to reach out. Happy bidding!
