Hi Duane! Thank you for your review! We greatly appreciate your feedback and are thrilled to hear that you found our bidding process easy and that you were kept instantly informed of your bid. Happy Bidding!
Used hibid Maritimes for a few auctions in one week. Received all items except 2. These 2 were gold coins from Silver Rose Antiques (SRA) and 3 names used were Tre Findlay, Joshua Alter and Becca Alter. I gave multiple chances for HiBid to investigate on their end but they pretended to be doing something, but the only thing I see different were the lots in dispute were removed from my history. I did take pictures so I have them for the police report and the receiving bank account is being looked into. The idea of HiBid is a great platform but its nothing more than a Kijiji that is not responsible for any transactions. As long as they do not handle the transaction, it is the perfect platform for scammers to take your money off your hands.
Thank you for your feedback and bringing this up to our attention Rick, we will continue to look into the issue your are referencing. Please reach out to our support team for any updates regarding this. Thank you!

I love your site however the phone app is not user friendly. It is difficult to go back to last item, you have to go all the way out and then start over.
Hi Diane, thank you for your review! We appreciate your kind words and your feedback regarding the usability of our phone app. We apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced with the app's navigation.
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.
Hi Dale! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We understand that perfection can be difficult to achieve, but we're thrilled that we came close to meeting your expectations. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we appreciate your honesty and support. Happy Bidding!
