This is the worst site for anything. You pay for bids, just so you can pay for the auction you win, i. E. you pay twice for your item.

Customer support is a joke, if you put in the wrong shipping address you are screwed, it happened to me, and took 5 days of screaming on the phone for them to fix, and it was a very reluctant resolution from the rep. I recorded the entire conversation and after 35 minutes I finally got a resolution on the 5 day.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS, GO TO E-BAY or AMAZON

Hi Michael, sorry for your negative experience with QuiBids. I am happy that we were able to resolve your issue. You are correct, QuiBids processes orders very quickly and we are unable to alter shipping information after an order is processed. In this case, as we were not able to re-route your order from the incorrect address you had entered, we sent you a FREE replacement item. At QuiBids, we take the customer experience very seriously and this case was no exception to that.

QuiBids is an awesome site that you get bid on items and get them dirt cheap or even FREE. I have been a member for three years and have won gift cards, jewelry, bedroom linens, bathroom linens, water feature for my garden, just to name a few. As long as you research and bid wisely you can obtain a variety of items for pennies on the dollar, QuiBids even as a Buy It Now (BIN) feature in which if you spend real bids worth $. 60 per bid on an item you receive full credit towards the purchase of the item you are bidding on. The BIN feature offers the items at comparable pricing. You can't go wrong becoming a member of QuiBids as long as you bid wisely!

Definitely. I WANT TO TELL THE WHOLE WORLD THAT QUIBIDS IS AWESOME!
I AM NOT KIDDING >> if you read the info that is perfectly provided and take your time and start small you will be amazed at the savings that you will get and how good you will feel knowing that you win is awesome and the shipping is free and fast and reliable. I have saved so much and know many others that save daily as well. Quibids is very beneficial and very much a blessing. You gotta take your time and dont try to go win a 600 dollar item with 25 bids. That will not work if you do not know who you are bidding against and how the whole quibids system works. Some days are better than others one must also find the right time of day accordingly to win as well... Just know that Quibids is not a scam and it is very awesome. I didnt get paid to say this either. I mean it...

I have had nothing but an awesome time bidding on QuiBids and won so many auctions one being Wicked Ridge Warrior HL Premium 175-Pound Crossbow Package retailing at $409.49 and I only paid $30.30. I also won an Iview 788TPC 7" 8GB Android Tablet w/MiraDongle Streaming Device valued at $139.92 for free because my winning bid was $0.07 cents! A must try web site and I highly recommend it to everyone!

After reading all the reviews left here, I think Erik G. Deserves a raise! Quibids is not a scam. And for the people who claim to have been charged $60 not knowing they would be charged, my question would be, why do you ever enter your credit card information on an internet site and not expect to be charged for? That's not an error on Quibids doings, but it is your error for not reading the terms and policies clearly stated on the sign up page. No where does it state "Try it Free". When you entered your credit card info and clicked on the "I agree" button, obviously you did not understand what you were agreeing to. I am a happy, satisfied, winning bidder of 4 years. The customer support team is outstanding, and the merchandise is all new and come with a full return unless otherwise stated at the bottom of each auction you are involved in. These complains belong in the (Don't hate the game-hate the players for not knowing what they are agreeing to). Kudos to Quibids for being the top rated penny auction site on the internet which offers an exciting new way of online shopping, and not a gambling hall.

I have been a member for 4 years now and I have found QuiBids to be the best penny auction site on the web by far. They are also the cheapest I have seen with bids costing. 60 compared to most others at. 75. I have actually received about 10 times in winning from what I have spent. Where else can you pay. 10 on the dollar for new and quality items. I had 2 minor issues and they took care of me right away. I find their Customer service personal to be A-1... You must watch, read Quibids 101, go to their facebook page to get a lot of info from other members. If you do these things you can be very successful.

I am a very frugal shopper. I have been a member of QuiBids for two years. In the last 2 months alone, I have won items with a retail value of $1009. 85 That's the QuiBids retail value, which is often much less than Amazon. My savings during this time frame was an incredible $755.40 Where else could you go to get brand new high quality items in factory sealed packaging with free shipping on every item? No where but QuiBids. Those that complain do not take the time to learn how to effectively participate. But what about the cost of bids, you say? I have received over a thousand free promo bids from QuiBids, through daily contests and sweepstakes on facebook and twitter, and special promotions weekly throughout the year. QuiBids has been a life changer for me and I will be a member for life!

I have been with Quibids for about 6 months now and at first it was very challenging but after reading thru the Quibids 101 section I began have soon success. I've actually been able to win large and small items at a great value and was able to purchase items I did not win. In all auctions there are only one winner so there are going to be upset people ( I've been that guy) but I'm proof that if you just time your time to learn and must be willing to buy it now you can succeed. Their are power players but you learn to avoid those people and if you understand all your doing is shopping then you shouldn't be upset for only paying retail. You can't over pay on an item unless your using voucher bids and those are lost money anyways as far as I see it. You already gambled that money

I advise everyone when signing up on ANY web site to read the entire disclaimers. Any site that ask you for a credit card most likely has a charges associated with it. Then after you join be sure to read all the helpful information in the QuiBids 101 that has so much helpful information, don't just dive in and think you are going to win a ipad for a penny because reality is your not! Most of the people winning the higher end items have been members for some time and have done there research. Start small and learn how it all works. I have saved thousands of dollars over my membership and have never had a issue in my 4 years. I give this site a A++ DO YOUR RESEARCH!

While I had written a good review of this site, I have since ceased most bidding on their site, due to all of the changes within the company made that I don't agree with. Once they stopped their on line chat, their community fb interaction, and now for the most part company lack of communication by phone or emails. I have little desire to support their cause or bid on the site. Many gift cards in the beginning of the year not received and no resolutions really caused me to back away from there site, I rarely bid on anything as the site has really changed and not for the better. So I will not be promoting them to anyone I know. If you ask today I would simply say. Join at your own risk.

I'm one of those people who thought I was just creating an account, and then: Boom! $60 down the drain.
VERY VERY deceptive.
I just asked my bank to challenge the charge, hope it works!
Nowhere did it say: "We are going to charge you now!" - well, maybe on page 329 of the agreement. Come on now, that's just wrong!

One needs to read ALL the rules and other documentation that is listed on their website and understand it. I, too, paid $60 for the original 100 bids and won $75 in gift cards and won a kitchen appliance valued at over $120. One cannot ASSume that one understands what they are getting into without doing the research. I personally NEVER had a problem with Quibids. There was one point where it took a little longer than expected to get my gift cards but, they did arrive. I even chose to pay for something because I had run out of bids. One must READ ALL the fine print... The site does mention that you can only win a certain amount of items within a specified time period and then your account is "frozen" until that time period has passed. Like I said earlier: One cannot ASSume that one understands what they are getting into without doing the research. Read, REad, REAd, READ!

Being a HS teacher, I see my students growing up in a world of "instant gratification" is not fast enough. If they don't understand something they just give up and try to throw the blame on someone else. I usually find that it's because they did NOT read the instructions. See a trend? I advise: "PLEASE READ ALL OF THE DOCUMENTATION BEFORE YOU BUY ANYTHING, IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MAY BE GETTING INTO."

DO NOT fall for this! This is the biggest scam around. I requested a refund within an hr of signing up. They never replied but 3 years later they send me an email the my points are about to expired. I emailed and complaint again & they were quick to respond until they didn't like what I had to say. My bad I should have researched before buying. Please take these reviews seriously it could save you $60 and lots of aggravation.

Don't do business with this place, they took $63.00 of my card and when I called to close my account, the man hung up on me, I called back and after about 15 minutes on hold the same guy answered and all he wanted to do is talk down to me, but he said he had put the money back on my card and he had finally closed the account, that's what I wanted to start with.

To Erik G. - in the history of mankind whenever the phrase "legitimate business" is mentioned it means the "business" in actuality is criminal or fraudulent. You keep whining like an aging mobster who is under Federal investigation for racketeering..."wah wah wah I'm a legitimate business man".

Good point, Frederick. Sometimes when sites like SiteJabber open up a public forum for people to vent about their experiences, things can get taken out of context or blown out of proportion. The reason I come on to this site to comment on posts where people have had a negative experience with QuiBids is ultimately to help provide resources for both current and potential QuiBids customers. QuiBids is a new concept for many people and for this reason, there is natural skepticism and confusion about how it works. If customers take the time to read about how QuiBids works and have realistic expectations on how to use the site, their experience is overwhelmingly positive. For anyone reading this who wants to have an accurate understanding of how QuiBids works, check out our QuiBids 101 section and help sections found here:

http://www.quibids.com/en/quibids101/

http://www.quibids.com/en/help/

QuiBids has taken many steps to provide transparency and authenticity in both how the site works and in verifying our internal controls are legit. Here's an article on an audit of our business practices, if that interests you:
http://blog.quibids.com/quibids-completes-third-party-audit-by-grant-thornton/

With all this information available to a potential customer prior to even creating an account with QuiBids, we hope they will be informed in deciding whether or not to use QuiBids. If not, we have a support team that is ready to help and answer any questions a new user may have.

Won a few items, but didn't come close to recouping my money spent on bids. I don't know how this company has an A rating with the BBB. They have over a thousand complaints against them.

If you did not successfully win an auction, don't lose hope! QuiBids offers an option called the Buy Now option, which is when we subtract the cash value of the bids you've placed (excluding voucher bids) from the value price of the item, and you only have to pay the difference. Below is an example of how your discount Buy Now price is calculated:
Value Price: $100.00
Discount: Real Bids Placed x Bid Price: 100 x $0.60 = $60.00
Buy Now Price: $100 - $60 = $40.00 + Shipping/Taxes (if applicable)

Also, QuiBids has an A rating with the BBB. You can read more about that here:

I ALSO didn't realize there was a $60 charge (in addition to buying bids) - They keep telling me that it states the charge as you sign up... which is fine but it must be in very small print because there are a thousands and thousands of people that didn't see it... if Quibids were smart, they would realize how many people are upset about this and change their policy to remove this charge. They make sooooo much money off of these auctions (it's actually a crime how much they make if you ask me) so it would be nice to 'give back' to their customers by NOT charging a fee 'just to be on their site'... Sounds like they need a change sr leadership with this ever-growing and huge money making company... I bet if I check back a year from now... this charge will be removed because there are way too many customers unhappy about this... well, I'm off to write this review on all the other major Review websites…..
