MadBid

I came to know about Madbid.com from newspaper article.
Madbid.com is an indeed a virtual hub in this era of e-shopping where one can avail
Endless products at unimaginable prices.
In the initial months, I didn't won any of the product but I never stopped bidding.
Gradually as the days passed I won the first product and the list continues.
Hopefully this shopping experience with Madbid.com will go on & on.

'Keep bidding, keep winning.' :)

I discovered Madbid a little while ago and was instantly hooked. I've gotten some real bargains and everything has arrived promptly. On the occasions when I've had a little difficulty the customer service people helped me out really well (AJ and Lolita, excellent customer service staff).
I have to rate it highly because I've had a great experience on the site so far and am looking forward to seeing what they auction in the future.

My adventure at Madbid site began in 2014 and I am still a happy user and customer as well :) I have bid many great brand new products here on Madbid so far, I am going to try my luck with bidding in the future too. It is not always easy and possible to win anything here but if you are patient and a good observer you will get your reward. Nobody loses anything on Madbid because if you're not lucky enough you can always buy exciting things at madbid shop for earned discount, you cannot lose your money at Madbid because for lost credits you are awarded with earned discount which you can spend on new high quality electronic gadgets at their shop. I can honestly recommend Madbid :) This is my most favorite and exciting site.

You have no reasonable prospect of winning.
The guardian newspaper has done a thorough analysis. You will be better off just shopping at more traditional sites across the Web. But of course who can resist the illusion of getting something almost for nothing.
Madbid's trick is to get you to part with your money and then point you to the fine print when you realise you've been had.
You cannot verify anything they claim as they hide behind privacy and confidentiality rules. And as usual on the Net you can never get hold of a human when you want one.
Do not believe the hype -they (Madbid) have paid for it.

This site is nothing but a cheating site that induces unassuming visitors to bid for their auctions which are governed by deceitful terms and conditions that are surely made to take away ur hard earned money if u are unable to properly understand them. This so called 89%discount is offered at the cost of the unassuming customers who loose money to them and not because they procure items in bulk purchases or distress sales. Even the items offered as 'claim' or 'buy now' are far more than their usual market price because of added handling charges. If u buy credit... There are 99.99% chances that u loose and the products offered through 'earned discount' are costlier than usual and also worthless. They blow their own trumpet by overly publicizing the one winner who is able to win but what about those 99.99% bids that went unsuccessful? This way they lure and the credits bought from them are almost surely going to end up in loss of money.

Absolute rubbish... If u have noting to do all day and night just watch people stare at the pennies being piled in by people who clearly do not know what they are doing. A car has been in auction for weeks and has had bid totalling ******* pennies - that is £462.19 to me and you. So if some wins a car at say £9000 how many pennies is that. How long do u wait.
It's a scam, con and should be banned
Keep well away... I am going to buy and try and get my money out.

I had done a lot of research on this site and many reviews were great (the whole reason i signed up) I am more than convinced the reviews are people who have been paid to write amazing reviews of MadBid! Terrible site stay well clear, It is not explained well enough, that buying credits is just to waste on just being able to bid, i am guessing this is just how they make their money, very shocked how i had spent £49.99 worth of credits without a single thing to show for it! Awful scam, I shall be warning people to stay well clear! Adverts & false reviews are what this site thrives on. Pay full price is my advice

Oh dear. It's sad that sites like Mad bid are allowed to operate and doubly sad that people are foolish enough to use them. It's not an auction site; its more like an online raffle. You buy credits at a pound a time and then squander them (usually 5 to 10 per bid) basically until everyone else gives up and stops bidding. And the "price " shown for the item? It increments a penny for each bid, so, £100.00 for an ipad? No; that's 10,000 bids placed (at £10 a go!). Nice little earner there for someone.

Madbid.com madness. Signed up for an account depositing £300. Lost the Apple set auction I was hoping for but got £224 back from a promotion they were doing. So I topped it up with another £132 to buy a DSL camera from their website and two days later they flagged my account as being suspicious. I then sent in the required documents requested, a scanned copy of my licence, latest council tax bill and signed declaration but despite all this they it still isn't good enough! They said they can't see the picture on my licence which isn't surprising because I'm black!

My licence clearly shows my address so does the council tax bill, I've signed a declaration and even sent them a scanned copy of my credit card but they still wont release my account or send the item I bought!

Update on the review below:-

It took a while, but eventually I did receive a considered email from Customer Services and I was given a full refund. This company is definitely not as bad as I depicted in my review... and I am happy to add this postscript by way of balance.

Original review:-
I reviewed this business yesterday and was surprised this morning to find that 84 people had read the review.
Scrolling down through all the negative comments from others, I was struck by the number of "Daily Mail" references.
Why not join me in asking the DM to investigate and run a follow-up to their advertorial; this time without the positivity? Just send an email to The Daily Mail ("*******@dailymail. Co. Uk") telling your story. Let people power prevail.

This site is a Scam. I deposited £50 and bid on three items I was the last bidder when the timer reached zero, only to see the auction start again a second or two later! If the auction is not finished the zero should not be shown. There is no value after Zero!
Crap site, poor technology, hopeless company. Use at your peril. If they rip of a hundred people like me there is no wonder they can nearly give away some items to the few that do get a deal'

Do not waste your money. You have absolutely no chance on winning any bid. Even contacting them is impossible. When I tried to contact support they asked for my Username and password. When I entered this information the site states my password is wrong even though I was already signed into the bidding area using the same password.
So glad I didn't get sucked in to deep.
I'm sorry Madbid, how can you say I didn't use your site. I did use your site and it cost me £49.99.
