Watch out when bidding. There is a 35% chance you are getting a defective item and if you don't spend and extra 3 bucks all the way up to 100's of dollars on their 5 day return policy insurance, they will not help you. They take your money and sometimes even refuse to give your product to you. Oh, they also refuse to refund and you forfeit your product and money. There fee's are hidden, you don't know until you win the item, about 20% extra is what you will be paying plus insurance. They even straight up mispresent what it is that you are bidding on in some cases and stand behind their no returns when it does not match the description. Stay away unless you don't mind getting stuck with defective merchandise from a company that stand behind nothing. Just a sample of my defective merchandise from them.

Madbid.com fun Bidding
October 2, 2017

Since 2016. Year of joining now to Madbid actually did not meet my expectations directly. The reason is not that I can not win any prize. I followed some bids to the end. I do not know why it happened. I wish I could win a new gift. If you can not win, with rewarding concept. Strategic bidder can benefit a little, by able to make purchases from my credits points (dollar converted post biding...). One need to have a bidding plan to get the best from the site.

Avoid madbid it is a con
January 28, 2018

Gambling site pretending to be an auction. Terrible experience. They use fake reviews and online articles to appear like a good deal. I look forward to the day they have to repay all us users that were miss sold to.

Inspect first
April 17, 2022

If you inspect before bidding, there is no surprise on the condition of goods,
The staff is friendly in Butler, ready to help on any question.
I have been successful with getting goods at less than 1/2 the price at Walmart!

It's frustrating for me
September 6, 2017

Hello, I have met Madbid for a few months now. Madbid actually did not meet my expectations directly. The reason is not that I can not win any prize. I followed the bids to the end. Even if I did not offer anyone else at one time, my polish did not result. I do not know why it happened. I wish I could win a new gift. If you can not win, there's no point in being here. I wish you a good day.

Not the best
November 2, 2017

Not the best site but it seems to be getting better I have try a few sites but understand that you have to be ready for the auction to be a winner and unless you bid on small items to then get to the big things

Bought several items that were listed as open box, not listed as used or like new. The Nuwave Duet pressure cooker was used and nasty! The smoker was missing pieces, and the air mattress was not the mattress that was supposed to be in the box and it smelled heavily of cigarette smoke. The air mattress also would not hold air!
I'm HIGHLY disappointed and will not shoot here again.

Don't do it.
September 16, 2015

After weeks of chasing refunds via emails have finally got my money back. Had to involve our credit card company team and ask for lost interest. Advice to give is, please do not give them anything you can't afford to lose.

I wish i would have seen this site before opening an account. I read an article that paints a very nice picture saying that it works. Well. It doesn't. I've spent $100 today (first day) and i won absolutely nothing. The timing of the bids seems to be fixed sometimes where even if you bid on time it says "oh it's closed". I also got charged more in my credit card than what they said i had to pay (and when i say more i'm talking about $50).
Stay away from that site, it's not as wonderful as they make it seem.

I bought £49.99 worth of credits but didn't find anything on the site that I wanted. I ended up bidding for something I didn't need or want just to avoid forfeiting my money ( which eventually happened anyway). I am advising everyone now to avoid madbid.com like the plague. There are plenty of trustworthy discount stores where you can buy online without getting ripped off. Only gave one star as unable to give nil.

5 star!
August 27, 2015

This auction site is the best one I have ever joined! Winning definitely happens and if you don't win you can use your bids as credits towards the end purchase of your desired item. Shipments are ultra fast too!

Feel completely stupid that I parted with cash for this website. There are too many bidders, you could spend all day bidding and part with lots of dosh and not get anything. Better things to do with my time.

They just want to soak up your cash. A bunch of robbers. I bought 27 pounds to start, won 1950 credits--great! Then lost the lot almost at once. Shall not be using it again. It could be desperate for youngsters.

Patience pays!
June 21, 2016

I have been lucky to win in Madbid some awesome items, beats headphones, kindle, etc. You do need to invest in large amount of credits, but at the worst you end up paying full retail price for items. Its a game of chance and patience, try your luck!

March 3, 2015

Does anyone seriously believe this site? I'm only here because I saw the advert on the daily mail site and thought I'd check out the reviews as there's always one person who fell for it, but itv seems loads have! A Mac book for £20 lol who actually thought that they could get that deal?

I was lucky to win an amazing Kindle Paperwhite and after a few days this was sent to me through an authorized dealer, by private courier. They contact you when you win something for sending correctly placed, so that the quality of service is very good.

The best auction site
March 26, 2016

I came to know about Madbid from online articles. At first I opened my account just to give a try. But once I started bidding I found it a nice fun packed thrilling experience that I started to bid daily. After analyzing personally how Madbid works, started bidding regularly. Won an auction (HTC desire 316 G). Winning an auction makes me feel so excited. Getting the product delivered in hand within the specified time makes me feel rewarded for the worthy time I spent with Madbid, a genuine trustworthy auction site.
