QuiBids Reviews

Bought 2 Anker phone chargers, 10W and 15W and neither one will even power up. The 15W one's plug broke apart when I took it out of the box. Emailed QuiBids explaining everything, and they refuse to even respond.

So the site claims at registration finish to continue to buy bids in the very top of the screen. It implies that you were receive 150 bids on your first purchase but it doesn’t let you know how much you’re spending. After you put your credit card information in it didn’t charge you $18 and you only receive 45 bids now that you just completed the registration but some bids I figure it’s a lie. So then I asked for a refund. I don’t want to play with your site anymore at all. Now zero bids as well as now I need to wait 3 to 5 days to get my money back. Now they took it instantly. I never placed a bid but yet I got a wait 3 to 5 days to get my money back if I even do.

Beware of addict bidders who seem to bid out of just the fun of it, going beyond normal reasoning. Must have money to blow or are shills. I always seem to bidding against them. That's just my experience with QuiBids.

Updated on 10/10/2021: Here's an update from my previous review listed below. Please read that one first to understand this review. Quibids is starting to have a hard time keeping up with winning all the big money auctions. So what do they do? Reduce the amount of big money items. As of today there are only a few of the 250 voucher and quite a reduction of the $50 and higher auctions. I have even witnessed Quibids shutting down the entire site for 12 hrs. to catch up. Keep in mind, the only way Quibids can keep up this collusion scam is if real bidders continue bidding on an auction to drive the price up.

I signed thinking it was something else and did not sign up charging anything to account. This was June 2019. A few weeks later I seen a $60 charge to my credit card. I immediately contacted via email. Could not get live person. Was only with email. July 2019 I got email back stating they would not refund money that after so long money becomes voucher and will not refund voucher. I sent them email yesterday. Told them it was unacceptable. I was going to report them and get a class action suit against them. This was theft and was going to leave a Google review. I got email stating they got a letter from bank about charger. Will refund money immediately so they that approach. And still should get class action if you ask me. Scam for sure. Thanks Angela.

So, I have Quibids for several months in 2019 and a couple of more here in 2020. Unfortunately, it is very addictive for me and I have lost a lot of money or bought a lot of gift cards! Here are a few of my observations:

I have been a player almost since inception. I avoid many players, that I keep data on. I have noticed recently since fewer auctions are available and they are not 24 hours any longer, that some players are ALWAYS playing.I cannot see how this is logical. Does Quibids USE prop or house bidders for Quibids benefit? With recent changes quibids implemented it is difficult to avoid extreme POWER players. These are players that have huge amounts of voucher bids stored, that make it impossible for new and small players to win. I have seen power players use 400 voucher bids to win a 50 voucher auction (obviously for intimidation).

Quibids is a total sham. They lure you in with "real" winning bids on great stuff but those are not real bids. They have their own people or machines controlling some of the bids, then advertise those as "real" winning bids on their site. They'll let new users win their first bid to get them hooked, then after that users get screwed over. DO NOT USE QUIBIDS!!!!

I signed up and got charged $60.00 which they did not tell me about to my card. Be careful, I thought I was just putting in my information and they charged me without telling me first. Also, when I submitted my info online, it said an error occurred and that it did not take my payment method (which is a visa debit card). Apparently it did take my card because I got an unauthorized charge of $60.00. Luckily my bank (CItizens) has great fraud alert and they alerted me like 5 minutes after the charge occurred. I now have to close out this bank account and get a new one because I don't trust what this crazy site will do with my information.

Wow! QuiBids has REALLY gone downhill since I signed up. They use to have some great auctions and a lot of $50 gift card auctions. I've won Movado and Seiko watches, Acer laptops, Nikon and Sony cameras. Awesome ceiling fans, camping equipment etc. They use to offer 30-40 $50.00 Gift card auctions a day. Now they offer more 250 bid auctions than those gift cards.

I signed a few days ago and all of a sudden, they took 118.00+ for no reason. I didn’t win any bid at all but they just surprised me with an unknown charge! If they are charging me for registration, that’s too much! There are so many auctions company out there that do not charge anything upon registration! This company is fishy, avoid!

Once upon a time QuiBids was wonderful. I win all types of things like rotisserie oven, Rachael Ray pot set, glass cookware, Cuisinart coffee maker, Cuisinart food processor, furniture, bed sheets, comforters, all types of $50-$100 gift cards. I even win a KitchenAid stand mixer with one bid. Practically everything in my kitchen came from QuiBids. They had good quality stuff. They would have 14 auctions going at the same time. Now there is only 3 or 4 auctions going at one time and what you're bidding on is more bids or a $15.00 Walmart card.

Months ago, I noticed two bidders in collusion to win auctions. They alternated bids against the other bidders, and never bid against each other. It became very obvious as I saw this in many other auctions with the same two bidders. This is clearly against the Quibids policy. I reported this and was told that the information was sent to their compliance department. Nothing changed. I emailed again, only to be told that their compliance department was investigating and had "high sophisticated" methods of discovering collusion. When I emailed again after more months, I was told basically to stop emailing them.

I signed up, they took $60, I tried bidding on items, that seemed to be run by bots. Never won a single thing, lost my $60 without ever spending or receiving a thing. I went back a few times to try again, but it seemed to be impossible to win anything, and many times the ending bid was the same as the regular selling price. Why did I waste my time and why did they scam me out of my money?

I signed up for Quibids today after visiting the site for a weeks now and checking out how things work. I'm very pleased with my overall experience so far. I think some people who have visited the site maybe have misunderstood how things work or misconceptions about what they should expect. Basically, these are penny auctions. You bid on different items and the highest bidder at the end of it wins. It cost, at least at the moment 60 dollars to sign up. Do not sign up and enter your credit card information if you are not prepared to be charged 60 dollars. You will be charged as soon as you sign up.

Quibids charged me $50.00 for services and I don't know what for yet. All I wanted to do was see what they had for sale. You have to sign in to see anything. You have to sign in to contact anyone and that is only by email. I would never pay anyone $50.00 to bid if this is what they are charging me for. In my checking account there was a phone number 1-855-784-2437. No one will answer or a busy signal. So I contacted Quibids by email and never heard anything from them. This site needs to be taken down. They are bunch of frauds...

Hi, I too, was taken by surprise at being charged when signing up. I read reviews of QuiBids and was horrified about not being reimbursed. However, I sent an email and was responded to in a timely manner. Three days later I was refunded my $40 dollars. I feel obligated to tell a good story about them.

Charged $50 bucks to sign up, can't find anything until you put your card info in then wow they take it off card. Try to call at 9:30 am and get, "We are out of office. Please call after 9:00 am." I want my money back on my card and will do whatever I have to do to get it.

SCAM ALERT. DO NOT USE QUIBIDS!!! Entire process from start to finish is a scam. They promote the bid process first with no explanation of the process. They hide the ways to learn anything about the process. They pretend to have a video to play to learn the process but the video doesn't play. They encourage you try it out anyway. They make the purchase process seem like it hasn't happened then when you learn that you have accidentally purchased a number of bids (which still remains unexplained as to just how you did it or what this means) they refuse to return the money. When you send a complaint in to them they wait a week to ten days to respond and their only response is to say that it would be unfair to the bidders who do know what they were doing to credit your bank back as if this has anything to do with other people on the site. The whole thing is a scam. Do not use QuiBids!!!

I decided to sign up with this company as penny bidding because I accidentally encountered a seller on a local Craigslist on an item that I was interested but did not need it immediately. It was pretty cheap. So, I inquired and the inquiry led to the recommendation of the seller to sign up with Quibids. I was not familiar with the mechanics of Quibids but I was a seasoned user in bidding in eBay, so I thought it was similar. I funded my account initially for around $60 and started penny bidding. I did not win and it was a long process.

Their policy states that after one year if any bids are left on a customer's account, the customer can request a refund. I did just that on the year mark. I had only used 5 bids. Reason I had not used any more than that is because I did not see anything on their site in which I wanted to bid. And of course, you can't see the auctions unless you have bought bids. That being said, I did not even get a response back after requesting a refund. Their contact information is very limited. No phone numbers in which to call and actually speak to someone.

I stumbled on QuiBids yesterday and to my surprise, I was already signed up and had a hundred bids sitting there. I played and won immediately. FIRST BID. I won a gift card. I played more and won more. I won playing vouchers and perfume. In addition, I won badges and more free bidding vouchers. Playing longer, I won again. I am trying to figure out how to out-think the program. I have not been able to yet. I have not received my winning items yet. It has only been one day.

First, I'd like to thank ConsumerAffairs.com for being here to offer individuals an opportunity to share their experiences. I was lured into the QuiBids site while conducting other online bonafide shopping transactions from trusted retailers. Fortunately, I decided to check reviews before entering my credit card information and also, I have learned to at least skim read terms of use on sites that seem incredulous. My biggest loss is the time I spent evaluating whether or not this site was legit. I probed around many areas and ALL approaches led back to the same thing; you have to be a member to access. I could not even peruse the site to watch a live auction.

I went to their site to see if they had a Mac computer. I had been shopping other sites for the best deal. I watched the bidding for a while on a couple of them, and decided to sign up so I could buy if I wanted. I did not know that they charged a signup fee, and I didn't read it in their agreements. Totally shocked to discovered my credit card had been debited for $50.00 (almost instantaneously to my signing up). I did not bid on any items, because I didn't understand how the money worked when bidding. I appeared to me, that they were keeping the money on the unsuccessful bids (i.e. keeping the money on losing bids). I discovered the thief of my Credit Card money Monday, and wrote them a email on their site to put it back on my CC. I wrote them a request yesterday again demanding repayment and gave them until this morning to do what is right. Writing this complaint is my first step. Wished I had looked here before signing up with them.

Ok here's the scoop. A few friends of mine have used this website. They said that they were happy. I never heard of it so I quickly signed up. My friends' kids got some great deals. Here is the catch. You pay 60 cents for each bid placed. I'm guessing that is how they make their real money. They are in business to make money so it's in their best interest to keep their customers happy.

Won a purse valued at approximately $350 for approximately $130. Received the wrong purse which had a retail value for a lot less. Returned the purse twice and still after approximately 6 months total from first incident, have another wrong purse still needing to be sent back. They have promised the item several times yet to date nothing. Even got my law firm involved and they were sent a letter and no response. Now it is a certified letter and if that doesn't get their attention small claims court is next. I loved this company and have been a member since 2010. Now I'm upset, disappointed and down right mad that they are playing me...

I'm not sure if everyone is seeing a different promotional sign-up page than myself but it's pretty clearly stated that you'll be charged in order to begin placing bids. By no means am I saying that I've never ended up getting bent over by some shady companies. That said, if you're going to give out your card number to any company, it literally took all of 10 seconds to open a new tab, type in "is Quibids a fraud". See everyone's negative experiences. In turn, helping me make an easy decision to avoid this company. I am sorry to see so many being taken advantage of but seriously, if you came across some stranger on the corner telling you he could get you unbelievable deals on whatever, would you give him/her your credit card info, your personal information and expect everything will be sunshine...

I was charged $60 for bids after entering my debit card information. For anyone living in California that has been subjected to this, please contact the California Consumer Affairs and inform them of the charge. It is against the law in California for a company to charge your card without meeting the criteria spelled out in California Business Code, Article 2. Any company doing business online in California is required to have billing information and what you are being charged clearly and in the same font as the rest of the ad, it is required to let you know you are being charged prior to the charge. And it is required to provide refund information prior to charge. Please send complaints to California Consumer affairs so we can put a stop to this scam.

When I opened the account I put $150 on it, I won 2 gifts cards from Home Depot, 1 was for 2.13, and the other was 3.13, I went on and checked out on those 2, I tried a little on 2 other things, but didn't get anywhere on them, so I stopped. The next evening I went to the site, and my account had been disabled. All my money was gone, all my bids that I paid for was gone, 1 of the gifts cards I won has been refunded so far, but that is it, I have just sent them an email telling them I want the rest of my money refunded, all of it. Please don't mess with this site. THIS JUST HAPPENED ON 5/10/17/, AND 5/11/17.

Be warned! Just like eBay and other similar site, it looks like you need to add your credit card to begin bidding with the assumption that they will charge you when you make a bid. Nope! They immediately charge you $50 as a beginning credit to start bidding. I've asked for a refund, and hopefully they'll respond soon!

I won 2 bids on QuiBids. The total for the two bids was $0.09 cnt... They charged me $18.00 for something, maybe for processing and mail. Then tried to charge my Visa 3 other charges that combined to be over $100.00. Then they sent me an email saying I had not paid the $0.09 cnt for the bids. They then sent me another email saying that the time limit to pay the 0.09 cnt was over and I had lost the bid. This is a SCAM... Please do not use these ripoff artist. They need to be in prison for a felony.

I signed up not knowing I was going to be charged. I emailed, said I wanted my money back. The next day I checked and my account had been deleted. I called to see what had happened and they said that the money would be returned within 3 days. I had good customer service, and quick reply. Yes there should be more warning on the money being taken. But the customer service was quick, and very helpful.

Subscribed with them circa 4 years ago but never play with them until last week to spend more than $200 and I have won 2 items of a valued $80 but they have blocked my account for no reason. I send more email, nothing. I have to call on the phone, it hooks me. There is Ace who told me "I have no reply to give you. Done what you have to do" then tells me that I am imbecile then are hook. Really are scams.

They take $60. If you don't win you lose your money, what kind of crab is that? Then I purchase a Walmart card for 38 that is suppose to have a 50, and they took already the 60 so I wind up paying 98 for a $50 card? That's full of crab. What would I wind up paying double? Horrible service! Terrible customer service. They don't care about that you lost your money. They are so terrible. Please, if you want my advise do not use this website if you don't want to lose your money! Very disappointed!

I just signed up for Quibids a few minutes ago. No bidding was made and I was automatically charged $60. THIS IS A SCAM OF A BUSINESS. They will not answer their phone at 855-784-2437 and it was during business hours. DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME. I am disputing this charge on my card.

I bid on 2 different items and won them. I ordered two other items and I received them within a few days. The ones that I won show billing info. Received and no shipping info. Talked to customer service and still don't show that they have shipped. They say it is the vendor... So it that is true don't order anything with Kocaso. I have not received either item. Also, always pay with PayPal...

I am sorry I did not read the reviews before I spend my $60. I expired the same thing most of you did. They charge my card immediately for $60 and I got nothing in return. So this is what I figured out. If an item cost $300 (regular price). They need 5 people to bid on the item at $60, so once they have achieved the $300.00 or more in some instance, they release the item. So in essence, everyone that loses the bid has helped to pay for the item that someone else wins. This is a very dishonest business, especially for poor people like myself who may only have the one $60 and is looking for a chair for Xmas. This site should be banned!! Do not waste your money.

I have zero trust in this site... They are blowing up Craigslist with offers that are too good to be true. I am in the market for a new flat screen TV. I'm always looking for the best deal. So I came across a 60' Samsung in 'perfect condition' for $160. I immediately contacted the poster and they replied stating they just sold the TV but I can get a great deal on the same TV on quick-bids.com. And this Craigslist poster apparently bought 3 of them on quickbids. I didn't think nothing of it. I decided to check quickbids out, but I didn't open an account (luckily I was too busy at the time figure out how the site works). I then found another great deal for a 55" tv on Craigslist, again I emailed the Craigslist poster and I got the identical reply... Stating they just sold it but I can get it on quick-bids. So that's when I realized I'm dealing with a company that is crooked.

When I signed up for this service, they requested my credit card information before I could bid. Then they immediately charged my credit card $60 without any warning that I observed. I contacted customer support and they did a refund. Beware of this company, they are not being totally honest.

I am sorry so many of you lost money. I am writing this 11/08/16 and they have a notice on their site, your card will be charged $60.00, now. For those of you that have lost money on your credit cards, dispute the charge with the issuer of your card. Visa and MasterCard are good about getting your money back for you in arbitration. You don't have to live with fraudulent merchants like this and if you want to see they go out of business, this the quickest way. If their credit card processor won't do business with them anymore, how are they going to stay in business? If very many people ask for a reversal in charges because the company misrepresents itself then they will cancel their contract.
