Quibids CLEARLY states that you need to buy an initial bid pack ($60) to participate. I recently joined the site and had no trouble understanding how the site worked simply by reading through the information on the website. I registered for the site and BEFORE entering my credit card information browsed through the auctions to see how it worked and what was available. Note, I said 'browsed', I did not bid as you have to buy a bid pack first, as the site clearly states. Not that hard to figure out if you spend a few minutes reading the instructions. Yes it is hard to win an auction. But it is up to you to take some responsibility for paying attention to how much money you are actually spending on an item. This includes the auction price PLUS what you've invested in bids. If you are spending hundreds of $$ or spending more than the item is worth, that really is your own fault. Read through the tips and be patient with the bidding process. Don't forget that this is also an entertainment site. You are also paying for the fun of 'playing' the auctions, no one ever guaranteed that you would win them all.

I just joined a couple days ago. My first 2 auctions were for gift cards. I won them with a couple bids each. Then I was hooked, but it turned out to be beginner's luck. Overall, it is very difficult to win an auction. There are too many bidders for every single item. And there are nutjob bidders that will pay more for an item than it's worth. Probably out of a psychotic need to win at any cost. I think you have to be an obsessive, hard-core, long-term player to be successful at qwibids. It's not for me. I won't be using the site any longer.

I have been on Quibids for over 2 years now. I won gift cards, printers, i pad, vacuum, xbox, helicoptors, calloway golf clubs, watch, dsl, cd player, tv's, wii games, remote control boat, and on and on. My user name is wanttolook in case you want to make sure that I am a customer. I have had nothing but a positive experience with them. I have also contacted suppport numerous times, with nothing but prompt, proefessional, cusomter oriented serice,

Quibids is legit. Patience is an asset when bidding, and you can always start with gift cards, so even if you don't win, you can still use those bids towards the card. IF you start with $60 and just bid on a $50 gift card and a $10 Gift card(many to choose from) you really can't lose any money. They have Walmart cards, who doesn't go there?

I ONLY intended TO REGISTER on Quibids! LEGITIMATE sites give the consumer a chance to agree OR to decline ON the SITE ITSELF PLUS give a RECEIPT on the site itself in addition to emailing a receipt. Quibids does not practice "best practices" & appears to be deliberately vague, merely emailing that your account was charged $60! STAY WITH EBAY, everybody: I have filed a BBB complaint and would not mind considering a class action lawsuit too.

For people who joined this site when it first launched a few years ago, there is hope to win things. For someone joining today, there is NO hope. I used every tactic in the book from someone who'd been on Quibids for two years. Nothing worked. I lost $60 and will never use this site again. Psychos on this site will regularly spend more bids to win additional bids than the bids are worth, i. E. bidding 100 bids to win 50. Also, it because very apparent that Quibids has employees who will step in from time to time to outbid people. MSCARS is one of the user names who often jumps into bids and just keeps bidding no matter how many bids it takes. I've seen MSCARS spend 230 bids to win 50 more. Stay far away from Quibids.

I used this site for about a month and did win a handful of items; your best bet is to bid on walmart gift cards and then try to get them cheap/worse case is you pay full price for them.
Now on the flip side. Their customer service is HORRIBLE! And I have had multiple tech issues that they refused to assist in or make right. I hit the buy now option on a gift card(I only owed $6.80) but never received it. I contacted support and was told it was being processed and would receive it soon... never got it. Contacted them a second time and they said I never ordered it and was told they would go ahead and open it back up for me... they NEVER did. Contacted them a third time and they said they couldn't do anything for me. I had spent well over $200-300 and they opted to lose me as a customer over $6.80.

I don't recommend this site to anyone!

Totally shady company. I lost a bid for an iPad, but was given the option to buy it at a $30 discount (from quibids $769 vs. from Apple $799). So I bought the iPad. The next day I got an email requesting a photocopy of my State issued ID and credit cards.

What?! Do they want my bank acct number, birth certificate, and first born child as well? How many lawyers do they have on staff to protect customers from ID theft?

I have accounts with eBay and Amazon and they've never asked me to do that. Needless to say, when I asked them to close my account, they told me they'd credit back my card. I will be watching it like a hawk to see if they actually do. Shysters.

I watched Quibids sell (supposedly at least)
A $400 item for 17.72 so they got 1772 bids (raffle tickets)
At. 60 each so they? Collected 1063. 20 for that item.

Why were Matt Beckham and quibids not listed
On this FTC property seizure action against
Jesse Willms, CEO's and companies including
Swipebids? Matt Beckham CEO'd swipebids
Before he CEO'd quibids.

Jesse Willms is now officially an internet scammer!
Why isn't Matt Beckham listed? He was CEO of swipebids!

Willms used lots of "front men", proxies, misspelled names
A huge number of site registrations and off shore bank accounts.

Did Quibids and Dealdash merely get overlooked by the FTC
Property seizure action?

WORST SITE EVER, AND A TOTAL RIP OFF. THEY SELL BIDS FOR $. 60 A BID SO IT SHOULD NOT BE CALLED A PENNY AUCTION, BUT A $. 60 AUCTION. THEY HAVE BIDDERS PLANTED WITH UNLIMITED BIDDING POWER, SO NO MATTER WHAT YOU ARE BIDDING ON, I GUARANTEE YOU, YOU WILL NOT WIN IT. OVER THE COURSE OF TWO WEEKS, I LOST A TOTAL OF $550.00 ON BIDS, AND HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT. QUIBIDS SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN AND A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST THEM BY EVERYONE WHO HAS EXPERIENCED THIS SCAM THEY ARE RUNNING!

I just started quibids a few days ago and it seems like a legit website. I bought the starter pack for $60 (100 bids) which it clearly tells you that you are doing as you type in your credit card number. So for those that said they didn't know... that's from lack of reading. So don't blame the site! Also, I was smart enough to bid on and win several voucher bids. So while i paid for 100 bids I have actually bidded well over 300 times! On top of winning several voucher bids I have also won 2 home depot gift cards, walmart gift card, chevron gift card, and a chili's gift card that altogether valued at $115. So as you can see, the bids paid for themselves. And each gift card was won at less than 50 cents each. While there is a handling charge of between. 50 - $2, the most i paid for an item was $2.25 ($50 chili's gift card was won for. 26 plus the $1.99 handling fee). So I say. Read the tips, get on the site, and get some bid vouchers! Because as long as your not paying for the actual bids, your getting a great deal. Happy Bidding! Hope this helps!
