QuiBids

Does anyone know if the legal rule of having 2 business days to cancel (or whatever it is) applies to signing up with Quibids? I registered today hoping to bid on headphones. Once I gave my payment info (thinking it w/b used for payments and ship costs) I was instantly sent a message thanking me for purchasing $60 worth of bids! There's no way I would have bid that many times!

I contacted them thru their email system and was told that was the only way a new member can join! What's up with that? I see they have a 'newcomer' rate of $27 - but I was never even given a choice!

I haven't even participated in this site but am out 60 bucks! Can I join the class action suit?

At first I thought it would work. I spent 7 bids ($3.60) +. 30 auction price + $1.99 shipping, a total of $5.98 for a $25 gift card. But, my next auction, I gave up and ended up purchasing $50 Card for $25. But, when all was said and done, I really spent about $85 on $75 worth of cards. This site is, I've concluded, a scam, and a pretty good one. I'm sure they use bot to up the bids at the last second and much tons of money selling "bids." Stick with e-Bay unless you are an expert gambler.

At first, I was so hooked on quibids. Just seeing how little people were paying for their items i decided to give it a try. The bids are 60 cents each, which is not much but it adds up, so if you use a lot of them, you end up losing more than you win. I've won a few great items, some not so great. The shipping is pretty fast. What I don't like is with the buy it now option, only the "real bids" count towards the total price. Sometimes I'll use real bids for a bid pack auction and i end up losing them all and use the buy now option for the voucher bids, but then those bids are useless if i use them on something else and don't win because they won't even count towards the buy it now price.
Quibids is good to kill time, not to get great deals. Its a gamble and most of the time its just not worth it. Ive lost more than I've won.

There are three phrases uttered by customer service reps that instantly make me ill: 1. "I apologize for the inconvenience, but...", 2. "I'm sorry you had a negative experience..." and 3. "Not at this time"/"At this time we have no plans to..."

Well, after reading the BS responses to the reviews by D-bag Erik, I'm adding a fourth: "I am sorry to hear that is your impression of us..."

What a $#*!.

While I was disappointed that I would not be able to surprise my brother with a present... you were very quick to point out the problem and rectify the situation... which is actually rather rare these days! Thanks again!

12/9/15--Blake, 1) I set up a profile but did not knowingly authorize the charge; I want to make this perfectly CLEAR! 2) Difficult for me to understand that more bids are free rather than paid so, Blake, please tell us the actual numbers and I will revise my estimates. Are any of these "free bids" made by the company?
9/20/15-Update: Thought I would do the math for you. For every dollar the price increases QuiBids receives ~$37! This suggests there are going to be a number of losers for every winner; this must be a form of gambling with rather bad odds.
Original: Just signed up after attempting to read lots of legal text. After completing the sign up I was charged $60 for 100 bids that I did not authorize and very much did not want. There is no way I would ever authorize the purchase of 100 bids while planning to just try it out.

I agree with the reviewer who said that quibids is gambling... the house always wins... casinos are more generous. I have read a lot about these types of Websites with recommendations such as "bid at times when less people are online, start bidding later in the auction when the price is nearing the sweet spot then strike to avoid wasting bids, it may take several hours to win an auction so be patient, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah." If you're like me, you buy quality products at fair prices from companies who have earned your business... don't be a puppet on a string... you have a life and you're smarter than that. E-bay is truly what bidding online is all about.

This site is more or less gambling on products. You have better odds a Vegas. The problem is that the auction never ends and anyone can jump in at anytime, which extends and increases the price. The only winner is QuiBids, since they're taking in all the money. Users are basically subsidizing the products at 400+% the actual price. And, I believe, they make you pay for shipping. A fairer system would be to have a closeout, wherein the top two or three bidders remain either until they run out of bids or the final closing time. The closeout would kick-in at a price point where QuiBids breaks even or makes a 5-10% profit. That would be a fair system, one where more people could feel good about bidding and winning. I would stay away from this site and find sites like GroupOn where everyone wins when they buy in bulk.

I bought the smallest 45 bid pack. After about an hour and placing 9 bids, I requested a refund of my unused bids. Customer service said it would require 1-2 days for a partial refund to my credit card. We shall see.
I agree with previous reviews labelling this site as a gambling website. Winning one of these auctions is largely a matter of chance. "Winning" can be very costly, both in terms of your money and your time. Definitely not for me.

quibids.com is a scam, like many people I sign up and joined to find out it was all an auction scam. I ended up winning 2 pretty cool items for really cheat $$ and they cancelled my membership and they didn't even refund my bid money that I place which cost me $80 plus dollars. I reported this website to my state attorney generals office. People please be aware you are getting involved in a SCAM, learn from my mistake. Don't spend your hard earned money.
