QuiBids Reviews

This is a HUGE scam!! I spent $60 on 100 (That's 60 cents per $1 folks.) "quipenny" bids and lost them all within 45 minutes and got NOTHING to show for it except disappointment and a waste of my time. It's impossible to win anything because you have 6 or 7 other "bidders" (I believe the other bidders are computer generated artificial intelligence) bidding on the same auction thus, returning the auction clock back to 10 seconds. This can continue for a extremely long time, as it did in my case, 45 minutes in 10 second increments. This is a game. A game of gamble like slots in a casino. Your chances of winning is slim to none. Don't fall for this like I did. Thanks. Sincerely, Sucker in South Carolina.

I think in the beginning it was okay. I was winning and when I didn't win I would switch over to buying gift cards so they actually got a lot of money for me. But the worst thing ever is two of the prizes that I did win and one of them I paid full price for the other one. I want a pretty good deal. They both came broken and by the time I open them and try them out it was too late. Was nothing I could do. I was in the middle of moving and they just didn't care.

I was told that I won a $50.00 Walmart Card, which I never received. You charged my account for $60.00 and I never got anything. What's up with that???

I tried to use the Quibids system to find deals. I found that it requires a great deal of time and loss of many bids (each costing money) to wind up with nothing if you don't have time and a large stash of bids (which costs money). After a year of inactivity, I realized I still had an account. I asked them to end my account and refund my money left on the account. By my estimation around $40. I was told it had been too long and I could only have the bids and no refund. I believe this constitutes theft! Regardless of how long it's been, I should still get whatever cash is represented by my number of bids. Don't use this company! They will find some way to steal your money!

So I just went to make a user name and all that on Quibids.com and after I entered my credit card number it just automatically charged my account 60 dollars. I had no idea. I've never even dealt with a website like this before that just charges your account without even letting you know. What a total SCAM!!!

Tried to buy from items from Craigslist. I sent out numerous emails, a lot of people said they sold the item but shared that they bought it off Quibids. Signed up with Quibids. Nowhere did they say they would charge my credit card. I found out they took $60 out of it. When tried to call numerous times they are "out of the office". Clearly a scam. Keep away.

This is a scam. Don't even try it. I lost money and you will too! They don't tell you that they are going to be charging your credit card as much as they do. It's impossible to win anything when you try and bid. The customer service is complete jerks too. DON'T TRY IT PEOPLE! COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY AND YOUR TIME!

I don't actually think the bidders on the site are real people. Like everyone else, I found the site. While not dishonest, Quibids isn't there to help you out either. I was able to win a Home Depot $25 card for $4 plus $5 shipping (everyone else with gift cards send a code). Never was able to win again. Quibids keeps people on their site by emailing a few free bids once a month or more. Okay no more Quibids for me. If it sounds too good to be true... By the way Quibids has a BBB accredited business logo on their home page bottom right corner. Unfortunately they are not accredited by the BBB. Oops.

This company is a fraud!!! Please don't waste your time and money! I lost $60 in 2 min because of their misleading information!!! You will never win auction because I believe it's a spam! STAY AWAY FROM THIS WEBSITE.

I have won several items ($30 & up) and even won one auction for $600. They run several auctions simultaneous but not always the same items because as bidders view the choices, it changes the picture and description of the active auction. The different items shown in the auction screen vary in price. It is one auction per item, but when you win, you have a selection of about 100 products for the equal price as the actual item you won. You can choose which item you want and pay the ending price for the auction. And when you register, it clearly states that you will be charged $60 to receive your first 100 bids. There are no hidden or sneaky attempts to "steal" your money or "commit fraud".

So I was looking for a phone and I email this person and they to me try Quibids.com. I was like "Oh okay, sure, why not??" Then I thought it was like eBay where you put your credit card in and all that but it wasn't. It took 60 dollars from me, the money I was saving to get a new phone. Then I email them and this is what it said:

They say you need to spend some time learning how Quibids works. Now I know; they just take your money. Stay away!

I joined Quibids even after being a little skeptical but I did read their terms and conditions where it mentioned.60 cent bids. I gave my credit card info thinking that if I won a bid it would be an easy checkout. I DID NOT realize that my card would be charged $60 at that point and further did not realize it until I made my first bid and noticed that I had 99 left. It is almost impossible to win bids on this site. This site is a scam. Eventually I got to where all I wanted to do was leave this site with SOMETHING to show for my money so I started bidding with my last few bids on cheap junk I thought nobody else would want and STILL got nothing. This website needs shutdown. STAY AWAY!!!

In QUIBIDS an Auction may involve several different products with different individuals bidding on each different product but the bids are all tallied together in the one Auction. To the individual, it appears he/she has a list of competitive bidders for that specific product. In reality the list (and bids) are from all of the individuals bidding on all the products associated to that Auction. E.G. 'Mary' made one bid on a kettle, is the only bidder for the kettle (and should have won the kettle) but 'Fred' bid on a toaster and 'Jack' bid on a gift certificate associated with that auction requiring 'Mary' to make a rebid on the kettle to stay in the Auction. To me an auction is bidding the highest for a single object by definition. You may compete in an auction for a table full of different products and when you win the auction you win ALL the products on the table. So what does QUIBIDS have if it is not an auction by definition?

I joined so I could see what products were available in the auctions. I didn't find any that were close to what they advertised. Then I realized that I just spent $60 to review what was being auctioned. The wording I read made me believe that the $60 was towards my first bid. Nope. That $60 is gone forever. Beware! If it sounds too good to be true it probably is. I just wish I had Googled the negative reviews on this company, and there are so many, before I gave them my credit card #. Then after I bid on a stupid $50 shell card... they took my money, I didn't win the bid. They then said I could buy the $50 for $53.40... after they already took my money for bidding. ARE YOU KIDDING ME. COMPLETE RIP-OFF. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SITE

Like many people that have reviewed and posted here, signed up, "Bam!", sixty bucks gone. Which I didn't find out until reviewing my bank account. OK my fault, mistake once fool twice. Now for the bidding site. There is nothing to bid on that's worth any money. I can go to the dollar store and get this crap. I never ever saw or came across TVs, Tablets like they parade around in their ads to suck you in. I'm sure the owners that came up with this operation are enjoying your money. Don't you just love what anyone can do on the internet and get away with.

I spent over an hour on the Quibids site before I signed up researching to see how it worked. I understood that if I was to ever place a bid each bid would cost me $0.60, I was fine with that. It was explained in multiple places. So I signed up and looked around and did not find anything I was interested in bidding on. I thought I may check back on another day and perhaps they would have something for me. A couple days later I looked at my credit card bill and see I was charged $60 from Quibids. I never authorized this charge. From reading others complaints it appears I am not the only one.

I put this to the test and found that it's a fraud. Some people can get low priced items for lower than usual cost but anything that is more expensive is bought by people working for the site. I recently bid on an item and gave it 100 bids. It's funny how it sold one bid after me for 101 bids. I laughed and expected that. I then watched two other bids I have with the same person bidding on both items at the same time. Now they will say it's auto bidding. However, someone I know who works for the site indicated its rigged and I should not bid anymore. I will take his advice and won't waste my money any longer. Keep away from this fraudulent site.

Anyone thinking they can win on this auction site should have their head examined. I didn't sign up, but you can watch on their website as others bid away. Well, while watching the "action", I saw two items simultaneously count down to 1 second. At exactly the same moment, the same bidder's username popped up in two separate item windows. Using two computers? I doubt it. It's a scam and should be outlawed as such.

I joined Quibids yesterday and entered my credit card number and was immediately charged $60.00. This was about 10 minutes after I signed up. I emailed them and they said they would refund my $60.00 and then I said I wanted to cancel my account and asked how to do this. There is no cancellation at all. I requested this 4 times and no way can you cancel your account. This is a scam and I want out.

I read what I thought was an article about QuiBids, but when I re-read it, it was clear it was an advertisement. I fell for it. Everything at a fraction of the price and when you look at the recent sold item prices, $4 for an iPad air or $10 for a TV is ridiculously cheap. But as I know now, not the entire truth. Like so many others, did I not read the fine print regarding the initial $60 deposit; neither did I initially understand that each bid was $0.60.

Total rip off. Signed up and got charged $60.00 on my credit card. I see many others who got ripped also. Why is this company still in business???

Quibids took money off my credit card without asking and a customer service agent told me to go ** myself during our chat session. He refunding my money then kept leaving the chat and when I kept asking questions as to why I was charged without authorization he told me I was stupid and should read the fine print. So I asked him if he talks to his mother with that mouth and he replied with "no but I talk to your mother with this mouth while she's sucking my **." So I'm kind of curious how this man "Mike" is even employed with his ignorance. I've never been treated so badly from a company.

I found this site while reading the ad for cvs. I created an account but did not purchase any packages or vouchers. The steps to start bidding are clear. They charged me $60. I did play with the bidding but I didn't buy anything. I tried 5 times to contact them.

I actually used this site several years ago and I'm very surprised that it is still around. I only lost about $60 dollars on this site and I suppose I should be thankful for that. I really hope that this site is taken down because I can just imagine how many people this site is ripping off! I don't know how these people sleep at night. I remember when I called "Quibids" and asked for my money back or "credit" of some type. The operator that I spoke to wanted to help me and she was willing to work with me but the manager on the other hand didn't want to hear it and she said "Oh, your money is gone and you're not going to ever see it again!" I really hope that before anyone signs up for Quibids that they take the time to read the "fine print!" If something seems too good to be true, it usually is!

My wife used to bid with eBay and she tries this site and did not read enough. She lost her first bid after trying 12 times and a 60$ hold on credit card. She was shocked, she was never informed that bid would cost money. False marketing technique. Beware of this site...

They show you all these great deals to bid on then tell you that you have to register on their site before you can bid. Ok this makes sense so you move on to register and they ask for credit card info and this to makes sense how else would you expect to pay on the items you bid on. That is where it stops making sense. They charge your credit card without your consent or knowledge, then keep the money that you bid on things even though you didn't win that item. So I guess you have to pay just to bid, which is a new one on me.

Went on QuiBids site since I saw an article praising how good and legit this website is and how much you can save money by bidding on designer items for less. I did signed up with the QuiBids site but stopped when they asked for my credit card in advance. That would be a red flag for me right there since I have not purchased anything and already they wanted my credit card. I went on internet and do some more research and find out it is a unique scam since it take 60cents for every bid you apply along with others who are bidding against you. In the end you really are not winning anything except wasting your time, losing your money and they will offer to sell you the item at original price minus the bids amount you lost that is if you want to buy that item in the first place. STAY AWAY. What seems too good to be true then it is usually a SCAM.

I have tried Quibids several times months apart. I noticed it is almost always the same names for winners. As I flipped throughout the categories it appeared certain bidders were bidding on most all products. It also appeared if a product was being bid on and one of the frequent names did not appear as the price biddings went up the usual winner's name then appears. My personal experience was as I tried to place a bid on a gift card at ten seconds, no other bids showing, my bid was not accepted and the gift card removed. Second bidding, was for Omaha Steaks, after using all but nine bids $45 for bids, again my bid was not accepted when placed at last ten seconds. They notified me that I had not won Victoria Bedding, when I had bid on Omaha Steaks. Having sent messages I received notification they received them but never a response to the problem! Someone needs to verify if this is a scam or legitimate business.

Looks like Quibids is using Bots to keep auctions alive... I was about to bid on some cigars when I noticed the same users/avatars bidding on the same item. No other bidders were bidding except for users "**" and "**". I called customer service to complain, and they basically laughed at me. I have seen Bots on other penny auction sites and it now appears that Quibids is getting greedy. So beware of the auction that never seems to end... Tell me these are real bidders and I will offer some prime real estate in the desert.

They absolutely do not advise you that there is a $60.00 fee, and when the time is up on your bid, they add more time. This is a total scam and rip off. I called regarding the $87.00 that I was unaware of and on top of what I was bidding on that I could have bought for less than $20.00 anywhere. I went to their website and there is nothing stating there is a $60.00 fee. Of course I never received a call back. I will be contacting the consumer protection agency also and whoever I can to stop this kind of false and misleading company. Perhaps there needs to be a class action suit started against them.

This is a true gambling. Exactly how you play in a casino, which is in many cities illegal. How does the law allow these gamblers stay in business and make millions? You buy chips from them with your credit card, each chip is 60 cents, and you start putting offers on their merchandise. Each time you hit the "bidding button", you lose 60 cents, but the price of the item goes up 1 cent. Imagine, if there are 20 bidders, each bidding once only, the price reflects 20 cents going up, and "Quibids" have already made $12 (non refundable, gone, loss of 20 people).

I was just curious. They have you enter a credit card number but they don't mention or at least make you aware that they will charge $60 initially. Then it's so hard to win something. I'm sure once the second goes to one, it stays longer so that someone else can bid. eBay is better because of the fact you know how much you are spending.

Quibids is a very sophisticated scam. You must be very diligent in reading their terms about bidding and I guarantee the first 3-4 auctions one is involved with you will not win. This requires a very experienced play and patience and their system feeds off people's greed on the possibility of winning an item for pennies on the dollar. They advertise winning $500 items for $20-30, but what they DON'T say is this was just the base bids. The user actually probably paid $100's of dollars buying bid chits.

Joined, started to bid, could not understand why the clock never stopped. Was bidding in a handbag. When it reached about $12 I was told I had to stop bidding. Which I was planning on anyway because I started to suspect things were not as they appeared. Next thing I know I have a confirmation in my email telling me they were removing $48 from my account. For what? Never heard of paying to bid. They better put my money back! The guy said unfortunately he can't refund the money I used to bid with. Doesn't even make sense!

I opened this account, but tell you honestly that it's nothing but a BIG scam, stay away. The way that this company works is that: you purchase a 100 bids for $60 but you don't have any chances because their computer bids you... they give you 10 second to bid but in the last second their computer bid and the account price increase and the 10 seconds begin again and again and again until you lost your 100 bids... and later they offer 75 bids for $50... Don't purchase any because I guarantee you lost all the bids all over and over again. PURCHASE QUIBIDS OKLAHOMA CITY OK CARD **. $60 look like this in your bank statement and the bank can't make a dispute because they are selling the bids.

I saw online that you can get great deals on items like Apple Laptop, Designer Purses etc. for real low prices at 95% lower than retail prices. My Laptop is not working and I need to purchase a New One so I registered. I thought it was like purchasing with EBay & Amazon which I have made many purchases online. They request my credit card just like Ebay so I put in my information and now they charged me $60 which I was not aware of.

I received an email from them showing bids and final sale auctions. I joined their auctions and started a profile which needed my c/c info. Normal stuff. I started bidding and wasted about 20 minutes on 1 penny bidding and quit. Now I have a bill of $60.00 for just being curious about online bidding. I never won anything. I bid on 3 separate items but every time I bid someone else bid 1 penny higher and the ending reset to 10 more seconds. Bid again and again and again. It never ended and naturally I never was the high bidder. So I figured I just wasted 20 minutes of my time. Then the next day I receive an invoice for $60.00. I emailed them 3 times about it with NO response. I am now filing a merchants dispute against them. The site in my opinion is a scam and I would avoid it. It is a shame that these kinds of companies are out there in this world.

A waste of time, and feeds on people's greed or the desire to save. A rip off, because they get your money up front (always a bad sign). Then you are stuck trying to get some item, while bidding pennies. They promise the world and deliver nothing. They compare themselves to eBay. That is like comparing a thief to Wal-Mart. eBay has strict codes of conduct for sellers, and they protect their buyers. This is "bait and switch" with a very evil twist. Most people will bid on items they think they want. Have they done the research on the product? Maybe some deals happen. ALL I EVER DID WAS BURN UP MONEY BIDDING, AND NOT WINNING, AND WASTING TIME. If I go to Amazon or eBay I can bid what I am willing to pay or do a buy it now. Run like hell from these scam sites.
