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.

They blocked one of my bids with a warning message, lost that bid with only 3 bids, then was bidding on an item and they ended bidding while still active. Then they offer for me to buy a 50 dollar gift card for 67.40 along with others that I tried bidding on (see screen shot). Got on live chat and he credited 1 credit back to account.

I wish that I had reviewed this site before I signed up. I was not aware that I would be charged $60 even before I was ready to bid! This is a scam!!!! While I did not believe that I would receive 90% off of anything, it was nice to think that I could get items at a good discount. This stinks!

I opened this account, but tell you honestly that it's nothing but a BIG scam, stay away... otherwise you'll lose money like me. I lost 500 dollars and it was a big lie that they give you a refund for what you spend if you are a beginner and not satisfied. They don't return a single penny. Don't trust them.

Complete ripoff. I didn't know about the $60.00 to begin with. My bad for not reading more about it. It's virtually impossible to win a item when it's rigged.

$60.00 starter kit charge to my account. I was charged $60.00 on my account for something I thought was FREE. And I am disputing this charge.

I can't believe I fell for their scam. They ask you for you credit card info to sign up and they just charge you for prepaid bids and you can't get a refund on. And their customer service sucks, they are not trying to help you get your money refunded. They are crooks, beware. Each bid you make on their site is non-refundable, so be aware. I wish I could get some info in how to get my money back from them. HELP! Anyone. This such a rip off, they charge you and every bid you make you use up your prepaid bids even if you don't win the bid., so you lose either way. Beware this is a scam. And there is nowhere in their site where they're clear of their services. So please beware.

The way it look I was ripped off with their free sign up. I have looked all over their website and the Internet for a phone number to resolve this but can't find one. Beware.

I signed up and paid the amount initially due to get tokens. The idea is that you bid a penny and the cost to bid a penny is sixty cents. Every time you bid a penny the penny shows up on the bidding screen (remember you spent actually 61 cents). So the brand new whatever is bid up to a dime. I bid a penny which takes it to $0.11 Cost me $.61. Someone beats me and the bid now is $0.12 Cost them $.62 and on and on and on... After two hours of this I have spent $30.00 and it is time to buy more tokens so I can try to win the the brand new whatever. I give up and I have lost $30.00 and got nothing. Winners win at a cost of $0.35 but they and everyone else really spent thousands. Ebay I would have put my highest offer in at zero cost and if it exceeds that then I do not win but I do not lose any money.

This site is a complete scam! Stay away! Do not join this site. Once you enter your credit card info, they immediately charge you $60 for a bid pack. Total scam. Sometimes they will refund the cash value of remaining bids.

I was curious since I saw the advertising in tv a few years ago. Their scam is that will charge you $60 without mentioning it when you sign up. Plus, even if you don't bid on any item, you still get charged. I called my Amex, and get the refund. It is not a trusted website!

When I stumbled on the Q-bids page I thought "why not?" After reading all of their hype I created an account. I understood that I would be charged 60 cents per bid but nowhere was it explained that there would be a $60 charge up front for simply creating an account. I will call them tomorrow and try to get a refund. Failing that I will contest the charge with my debit card issuer. Whatever you do don't fall for this scam because that is what it is.

This place shocks you with ripping off the $60 that somehow almost no one sees that they take without your actual acknowledgeable consent. They show smoke and mirrors of cool prizes offering free gifts or purchases for pennies on the dollar. But the prices you see? Multiply them by 60. Every 1 cent bid costs you 60 cents whether you've won the auction or not. Unfortunately I couldn't wrap my brain around all this until after I discovered they had taken the $60 I never agreed to give them. And to complain and ask for a refund. Nope. You're stuck. I'm hoping that by letting Paypal know how I was ripped off will make the payment be refunded, but all I can do is hope. And pray. And complain to the BBB for the horrible SCAM this website is.

So I signed up about an hour ago and started bidding. It took me three bids before I realized the scam. Not paying 60 cents for a 1 cent bid increase. That's when I wrote to customer service and asked for a refund. Then I came here and started laughing because I usually read reviews first. Rookie mistake... So about 5 minutes after my refund request I got an email saying my request had processed and I would get a credit for 58$ plus change within 5 days... Super excited... Maybe it helped using amex or maybe enough people complained. Either way I shall keep you posted when I get my money.... Oh well back to ebay.

As everyone else, I was under the impression I was entering my information for future things that I would win and saw nowhere that I would be charged $60. I spoke with customer service and this woman told me since I already used the bids my money was gone...No refund would be given. When I suggested they were scamming people she said very sarcastically, "Oh no, Sir, we would never do that." I imagine they get a lot of complaints because when she first said, "How can I help you?" I said, "Oh, I have a feeling you know how you can help me," and she said, "You want a refund?" Please, if you are reading this, do not waste your time with this website. I too thought I stumbled upon a gold mine, but these people just want to scam you of your hard-earned money. Such a shame.

I was unfortunate enough to stumble upon their website and got hit for a $60.00 charge that I did not authorized. The only way to talk to them was through a help window on site. They would not refund me. They said it was a mandatory payment for being a bidder that was not stated to me before I spent a $1.67 on some bids and noticed I was being outbid too fast like it was computer generated. Stopped my bidding went on my way. The next day saw the 60.00 dollar charge on my account. I am more than furious.

I have never been ripped off like this in my life with the $60 processing fee or registration fee or whatever scam where they can use to justify the charges and deal. And they had your audacity to make me another offer when I took so much money from me when I lost the bid. I knew I was bid on time. Best thing to do People is to badmouth them and talk to them the truth so they do not get ripped off. As we all know bad news travels faster than good news. Now I realize why they have such an advertising campaign on TV because they can't keep the clientele because everyone's getting ripped off. Yes it sounds like I'm angry and yes I am. Where are the government agencies to put a stop to this? Take note on their website. They have nothing about their reviews by clients.

I bought a canon power shot camera through ebay and I received. I saw quibids, who mentioned ebay as their partners or affiliation. I got registered with quibids to participate in bidding on march 23, 2015. I was shocked to note that they deducted $63.00 from account without any reason. When I asked why you deducted $63.00, while I not taken any part in bidding or bought anything. They replied that in 2012 you taken part in bid and left so I deducted. They are liar as I never taken part in bidding and their policy is to sign up and buy bids before you can start bidding in our auction. If I had taken part in so called auction and left then why you not deducted at that time.

Just recently I got a nice 16-piece Cuisinart Dinnerware from QuiBids. Paid about the same if I had gone to Khol's. Unfortunately shipping was not so smooth. One of the dinner plates arrived shattered. Now I have an incomplete set. I called UPS and they said they would reach out to the shipper. Truly I think the delivery guy dropped the box. Irregardless, I am frustrated and hope QuibBids can resolve this. I wanted to have a nice dinner with my new dishes, and now I have to wait and see if I will get a replacement or a refund.

In order for you to view this site and see how it works, they still charge you $60.00. THEN charge you for bidding. So you lose bid (because they make sure you do). You'll give them money and you'll never see a product worth $60.00. They scam you out of your MONEY. They told me I would get refunded $60. They only refunded 25.80. They owe me 34.20.

It's a scam!!! I looked carefully for fine print, but did not see anything about being charged $60.00 for free trial. I did not get an option for 100 bids for $60 as some have stated. So, I purchased a $27 package. I bid on something with 3 seconds to go and got the message that my bid had not been "processed" prior to auction ending, even though other bids at 1 sec had processed. I wanted to check whether that bid was taken out of my total, so I checked the amount of bids remaining and had 100 bids more than I should have.

I open an account with quibids. 60.00 was taken from my account and I don't know why. Quibids should say that there is a registration fee. They just ripped me off of 60.00 - its not a lot of money But I work hard for my money. I didn't buy anything, it don't say anything about a fee for registration. I called my bank to see what can be done. I feel like a fool for falling for this. I through how could they possibly make money off this. They steal from unsuspecting people like myself.

My son received an email when he inquired about a craigs list. ** said his phone was sold but to go to QuiBids.com. When he signed up, they required a credit card so you could view the products. Within 2 minutes, they charged the acct $60. I sent them a chat and email telling them to refund the money. We received an email back saying it would be refunded in 5 days. The next response, when I emailed, saying put it back now was not to send multiple emails.

I clicked on QuiBids website. QuiBids requested personal information to set up a free account. Once I entered my information, including a credit card number that I thought was for future purchases, my credit card was charged $60.00. I did not authorize this purchase. I entered my credit card information and logged onto the site. There was nowhere on the site that stated that $60.00 was taken out of my account so I could purchase bids. I thought the bids were free and the credit card info was to pay for anything that I may win. As all of the dissatisfied QuiBids, I too was robbed of $60.

Quibids have people putting up fake ads on craigslist for phones,ipads, etc. When you contact them it's from a different email than the 1 they give to contact on craigslist with different names but always same response: "Hi someone purchased this from me, but I can tell you where I got it from. I got 3 of these from quibidauctions.com and I resold them for some extra money. The trick is to watch for bidding to slow down and then put in a bid. That's what I do and I win most of the time. All the best."

Winners are determined unfairly. On more than one occasion, I received message my bid was too late and I lost. Totally false! The reverse has also happened where clock ran out but, instead of winning, other bid was accepted.

I clicked on Quibids website. Quibids requested personal information to set up a free account. Once I entered my information, including a credit card number that I thought was for future purchases, my credit card was charged $60.00. I did not authorize this purchase. I entered my credit card information and logged onto the site. There was nowhere on the site that stated that $60.00 was taken out of my account so I could purchase bids. I thought the bids were free and the credit card info was to pay for anything that I may win. As all of the dissatisfied Quibids, I too was robbed of $60.

This is the invoice/what I was charged for the Quibids "free trial." They also participate in false advertising by using reputable and well known companies/entities (Better Business logo is placed on Quibids website) to aid in luring in consumers. Product: Quibids Free Registration. Status: Become a Member today and start WINNING. Real Bid - First Purchase Credited 100 $60.00. Sub-Total:$60.00. Sales Tax: $0.00. Delivery/Handling: Free! Total: $60.00

I saw a commercial for Quibids and thought I'd look into it. The auction prices seemed reasonable so I signed up and at "step 2" was offered a new customer package of 100 bids for .60 cents. I thought ok, I can waste that much. After the transaction processed, it says the charge was in fact $30 and my credit card actually has $60 off of it. I do not have $60 or even $30 to waste on something like this. Don't risk being taken advantage of.

It says registration is free but ask for your credit card detail during the process, not showing clearly the amount of charge they are going to take from your credit card, and they charge 0.60 cent per bid. An iPhone may sell for $50, but its starting price is at 0.01. It means by the time the iPhone is sold at $50, there would be 50 * 100 = 5000 bids * 0.60 cent per bid = $3000. Basically the website makes $3000 on an iPhone sold for $50. It is a con. There can only be one winner for the iPhone - the rest of the bidders would have lost near $3000 collectively. That's why I say the website is a con.

I feel I need to share... So I signed up and was well aware of the 60 dollar charge on my card for the first 100 bids, I was ok with that. I figured I will try it out. Well I tried a few bids and when the timer was at one second left I tried a bid and it told me that it was too late and the bidding was over.. hmmmm, this happened 3 times. So I was down to 97 bids and I started a new auction (this one for a coach purse). It stated "Buy now for 269.00 or start bidding," and the last 2 had sold for 5.99... other for 3.12 and when I had joined the auction it was at around 3.00 so I thought it wouldn't last long. Well well 3 hrs later this auction just so happened to last until 29.68 and just so happens that the person won the bid right as soon as "I" ran out of bids. Almost like the auction was based around me, very odd. I think they have people that work for the company bidding for them so they never have to give up the goods.

I signed up about a couple weeks ago. Read their guidelines thoroughly, then made my first deposit. Later that week I found a TV that I needed, so i waited till the last 5 minutes to place my bid. After a few minutes of bidding, I stopped because there was no end in sight to the auction, and when you look at who is bidding it was the same people winning the same items a few times well. You could tell because the website shows you each members pasts wins. It seemed very weird and if you don't win you lose all the money you from each bid you place. So if there are 40 different bidders placing 100 bids each, it's almost like Quibids is selling the same item 3 times over. Now I wish I had read these consumer reports before signing up. I am in the process of cancelling my account and getting my funds back.

I registered online at QuiBids after reading an advertisement of cheap products and they have a model totally opposite from eBay. Totally opposite INDEED!!! Because within seconds that I provided my credit card information, the merchant immediately deducted $60.00 from my credit card without me looking at their items. There is even a box that seems IMPERATIVE FOR YOU TO START BIDDING NOW without you looking at their items. eBay does not deduct from you any centavo/penny until you have bid or purchased from a merchant!!! Their customer service does not even have a TOLL- FREE NUMBER for customer support which makes this merchant questionable in their dealings with customers. I called immediately my credit card company and block this merchant. DO NOT MAKE ANY TRANSACTIONS WITH QUIBIDS.

I knowing paid the $60 up front for the initial 100 bids. I wish they would advertise how much they are making off items they sell with this auction style. Just for example, they are selling a Shark vacuum cleaner that you can buy it now for $177. They show that one recently sold for $16.29. Sounds like an amazing deal right? Every time you spend $.60 to make a bid you only raise the auction price on the screen $.01. A $16.29 winning auction took 1629 bids until that one person won it. They just sold a $177 vacuum cleaning for $977.40. Great deal for them and everyone thinks they are getting a great deal. I canceled my account on principle and hopefully will get my money back. Stay with eBay and other companies that have honest bidding policies and practices.

Quibids is a terrible site. It sounds too good to be true because it is! They will swindle you for $60 instantly without a way to get your money back. They need to get sued. Please don't ever try quibids.

I signed up with Quibids knowing that I would be charged $60.00 for 100 bids. I read the fine print so I knew what I was getting into. Everything started off well as I won my first auction with 1 bid (which costs 60 cents per bid) and I had to pay 1 cent plus $4.99 + tax for s/h which came to a total of $6.25 for a $50.00 item. So I thought this would be good to keep using. That was the first night. I work nights so I am bidding at around 2:00 in the morning. The next night I thought I would try my luck again but I couldn't win an auction to save my life even though I thought the items I was bidding on wouldn't be popular.

I went to the website to go and bids on the site had to put my checking account information in. They took $60 out without my permission. I asked for a $27 bids so they also took that out. When I call to ask why they say (Thomas) that what they do so you can bids with. If I paid the money for my bids how they get to take more. They would not return money, because I used it up but how that when I didn't know they took until the next day, when I check my account.

Well I seen that you could bid on items like computer, iPads, phones etc at a discounted rate. So I tried the site not thinking I'll be charged 60 dollars to bid on items. This company is a huge scam. They need to be shut down cause they're stealing from people like myself who are on a fixed income. This is so unfair. I know that 60$ isn't a lot but it is for people who are on a fixed income and think that they're getting a deal to bid on. Please help shut this site down.

I was bamboozled just as the rest of you. I just immediately called the customer service that was associated with the card I used which was pre-paid and stopped those payments that they were going to charge to my account with. Fight back these scamming organizations. Good Luck for future references.

I won a bid for an item and was congratulated for winning something else that wasn't even on the bidding page. That was all that was given to me at checkout. Classic bait and switch to something else!

I noticed $60 withdrawn by Quibids on my bank statement! I saw an article on TV news about the website before Christmas and thought I would check it out. I read it, and concluded that I'm no gambler, and I don't even remember ever logging in. I am outraged, and I just called the telephone number included on the statement, but it just says "the caller is unavailable"!!! Now, I know I have been scammed! I never understood how Quibids works, and never will take chances on bidding for ANYTHING! I then called my bank. The rep says to come in and file a form to proceed. I wish the TV news had mentioned this. How dare Quibids take advantage of the public for illegal gains!!!

I don't mind having a good ol' auction at all! But on Quibids everything seems too fake and fishy. The same person would win a bid, and they have absolutely terrible, and I mean terrible customer assistance. I recommend everyone not to use it! Don't waste your $60! I called to get it refunded and the guy I spoke to over the phone hung up in my face for no valid reason. They are adjacent to pretty good scam.

I won a Ipad mini on quibids. It got lost in the mail over the holidays. Quibids made me sign an affidavit statement so they could get the insurance money back on the item. In return they told me they could not replace the item nor give me cash- all they could do for me was give me my original bids that I invested to win the auction and no more. I understand they can't replace the item or give me cash but they should give me the listed amount of the iPad mini back in bids. I won the auction and quibids gave me less than the item I won. :-( It takes a lot of time and money trying to win and with the bids they gave me back I will never get an iPad mini. Don't bother, go to deal dash- much better site and policy is better.

I entered my credit card information and logged onto the site. I thought in the beginning that I was bidding with courtesy bids because there was nowhere on the site that stated that $60.00 was taken out of my account so I could purchase bids. I thought the bids were free and the credit card info was to pay for anything that I may win. I wonder how many people as myself has had money taken out of their account without realizing that they were paying for bids. Paying for bids???

I joined quibids knowingly spending 60 dollars up front, there was no secret about it, I even won, one auction. After this I decided to use the bid-o-matic option but did not win that auction, I watched other auctions and even spent some single bids on items I was interested in but once again I did not win those auctions..On my final day I watched two separate auctions that one bidder was winning (a Cannon IOS camera and and 3D HDTV) both auctions finished at the same time and each were won by this single bidder for the same price 8.39, seemed a bit fishy to me so I looked into their scheme. When I contacted quibids and asked for a refund of my remaining bids (40), they only refunded about 25 of them and told me that the other 18 were voucher bids... but that I could use them on any of their auctions... Wish i would have read these first but alas they got my 60 dollars and I got about a 20 dollar refund 4 days later, run far far away from QUIBIDS.

Was prompted to enter my credit card information upon registering and found out later they had charged me $60 that I did not authorize. Refuses to refund. Heard about Quibids.com and thought I'd check it out. On January 8, 2015, I found the join now page and the free registration which said an extra 3 bids upon registering. Entered my name, address, email then continued to the next page which prompts to enter your credit card info. I saw no other place to skip it or continue without it. I filled it out assuming it was for payments on auctions I won. Submitted and was put on the auction page. Saw I had 100 bids and thought what a cool way to let folks try it out. Didn't win of course, not that I expected to. Out of bids, I logged out and checked my email before bed only to see an email from QuiBids with the heading Order Details (#**). They had charged my card $60.

I am so angry and I feel like a fool because I thought Quibids.com was legitimate. I realized within minutes that something was very wrong with how they did business. I asked for my money back right away. I have been back and forth with their slick form letters. I read reviews from other unhappy consumers and filed an official complaint with BBB. My real question is why are they doing business like this? Why are we consumers being set up? There is a way of making money legitimately and treating your clients with respect. Quibids.com does not believe this is true.

Received a "STOLEN" iPad mini from QuiBids. After losing the auction, the iPad was purchased for the full retail value of $329.99. The iPad was purchased in early November as a Christmas gift for my 6-year-old daughter. I received the iPad and the box was fully shrink-wrapped as normal, so I was not concerned about needing to return the ipad for any reason. As it was a Christmas gift, I gift wrapped it and set it aside until it was opened by my daughter Christmas morning. Upon removing the shrink-wrap and taking out the iPad, the iPad was wrapped in the protective plastic and all the accessories within seemed untouched. I powered on the iPad and started the setup process, entering the language, location, etc. When I got to the activation screen I was stuck, the screen said “This iPad is currently linked to an Apple ID **. Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to set up this iPad.”

I created an account but when they wanted to charge me $60 for 100 bids, I did not give them any credit card or bank account number because I did not want 100 bids. I immediately sent a complaint asking how do I purchase less bids until I had evaluated whether this was a reputable internet business because I have learned "scams" happen all the time by companies NOT INFORMING about what you actually are buying. Many state you will get something for a small fee but then charge your credit card for another fee. I never gave any credit card number. Instead I sent an email asking how I could purchase less bids. I only received an automatic generated e-mail that did not provide any answer to buying "less bids" for .60 each. I wanted to only buy 10 bids. No answer how to buy less bids so a participant could critically decide whether they would get any financial benefit for participating in bidding or purchasing. As I have a degree in economics I do a financial analysis. One of the complaints gives a good analysis of how this business stays in business.

Since 2011 I could not log in and use quibids. Due to health and various reasons I forgot to call them to refund the balance of my account. I just called them and was informed that the balance was around 27 dollars. Since I have not Called them, I have to forfeit the amount and my balance is ZERO. I am really surprised. For an institution like this, this is a bad practice take customers money due to their inability to operate.

As all of the previous dissatisfied Quibids users on this site, I too was robbed of $60. I say robbed because as it's already been established, they never give you a clear option to agree on paying $60. They just go ahead and steal it and hope don't check your account. Plus, they won't respond to any requests you make on this. They just won't. Customer service is non existent. You call and it refers you to the site. Complete sham.

QuiBids is a total rip-off. As many other reviewers noticed, you invest $0.60 per bid while the bid's increment is of only $0.01!!! So, you think you're bidding on an item at, let's say, $50 but the real amount invested by all the participants is actually $300 (50 x 0.60)!!! At the end of the auction, an item that goes for a retail price of $400 rakes in $1,200. The company is the only one gaining. Total rip-off. I'd like to request a criminal investigation on these scammers but seems like this site is anything but to protect consumers...

I was never informed that it would cost me $60.00 every time I win a bid... see now I am overdrawn at the bank. This will end up costing my husband and I 100's of dollars before we can get quiz biz to cancel my account and put my money back. I mean come on people why, WHY WOULD I SPEND $60.01 FOR A 50- DOLLAR ITEM... Someone is tricking people so I think it's time for me to get out the big guns. See my uncle is a lawyer, he deals with people and company's like you every day since him and his team of 8 were just hired by a huge company based in Arkansas. I call him, he said if you don't make this right and place a notice on your home page explaining this to new comers, he will have no rebut except to get you shut down for entrapment, deceiving customers and supplying false or no information. I don't give a flying - - - - but get my money back in the back into the back today.

I registered with Quibids, anticipating future bidding if an item became available that I wished to purchase. At no time during the registration process, was I warned or advised that, by simply registering, my Paypal account would be charged $60.00 for the purchase of bids. Quibids had nothing I was interested in and I had no desire nor intent to purchase bids. That deduction from my Paypal account was greater than my balance, and the excess was charged against my bank checking account, also causing an overdraft charge there. I am now out the $60.00 from Quibids and at least $27.50 (it may be higher) in bank overdraft fees. I request any assistance available to recoup my losses, both with Paypal and my bank.

After checking out QuiBids before I could even hit submit after entering my card info I was charged 60 dollars. What a scam. I hadn't even agreed to use QuiBids and I was charged with some bs. Never use this site.

I was just checking out the site for curiosity, and decided to try a bid that at the time thought was .06 cents for one bid, but to my surprise looking at my bank statement turned out to be sixty dollars, which I did not authorize, but to my surprise I could do nothing about.

I thought I was just signing up and my credit card was immediately charged $60.00. I did not authorize any payment. It was not at all clear about this initial charge. They are supposed to be refunding my money, but it is a big inconvenience to me. I immediately canceled my account with Quibids.

I agree with previous person. I was filling out account information and the moment I put in payment information, my bank account was zapped for $60. Left me with a balance of $4 and some change. I thought I was just signing up and not expecting to pay or bid on anything at that moment. I agree that Quibids is a ripoff and not for your everyday average person.

As others have stated, business practices are, at least, unethical and should be illegal. $60 charge is hidden. Entire process is undoubtedly intentionally confusing. If you wish to waste time and money, flush cash down the toilet while watching reality TV. It makes more sense and will be less annoying.

Quibids claims to sell popular items such as ipads for $25-$30. In reality you're bidding against an unlimited number of other bidders. The price for a $399 ipad starts at $0. You buy bids. Every bid costs $.60. Every time somebody bids the auction clock resets to 10 seconds for unlimited times. So when the site claims to sell the ipad for $30, they've received 3000, yes three thousand bids at $.60 each. Auctions for popular items go on for hours, completely wasting most people's time. At the end the company has made $1800 on that $399 ipad. Your chances... usually much less than 1%.

Following some advertisement, I decided to open an account at Quibid.com. I filled in my personal data and was prompted to add my credit card info on the second page. After reading the terms and conditions, I set my mind to try the service with $10, but no more. The basic maths made it look like a scam. At no time did I get a chance to enter the amount I was going to invest, Quibids charged me $60. Chatting with customer this is the answer I got:

I have never heard of Quibids until I got my bank statement and they had fraudulently charged all of my savings to their company. I do not know if it was their employees or customer that did it, but regardless, it proves that they are not secure as advertised. I have never opened an account with them. I have never bought anything from them. I am really upset that this company was allowed to clean out my bank account without me ever contacting them in any way.

I clicked on link from MSN or AOL homepage to Quibids website. Quibids requested personal information to set up a free account so I may check out their website. Once I entered my information, including a credit card number that I thought was for future purchases, my credit card was charged $60.00. I did not authorize this purchase. I have since learned that this is common practice for this business. Unwittingly, I thought that since I had been charged for 100 bid vouchers, that now my only choice was to use the vouchers. Regrettably, I did not think to contact my credit card company immediately.

i got a random email stating that QuiBids charged my credit card money... i called with in 50 min from the time the transaction took place.... i talked to Jeff H. the avaible manager at the and after telling him i was not the person, that starting the account nor did i want, the membership they charged me for, even tho i called with one hour of there charge to refund it... i was told that i couldnt get a refund once they have the money, they dont give it back and if i dont like it... call my bank and try and get it back.... i called and my banker called them personlly to work out the issue and Jeff H. the Head guy for all there Customer service told him he cant do anything anf if he didnt like it he can pay me back and hung up on my banker...

I purchased 3 items in the beginning of Nov. 2010. I have only received 2 of the items. I contacted Customer Support at the end of November to ask where the last item was. The first response was it was the vendor's problem and not theirs. After a few more support requests, they finally sent me a tracking number which showed it had been delivered. The tracking number does not tell you what the product was since I had 3 items coming in the same time frame. I asked for all the tracking numbers, which they did not give me. I asked for a refund or to resend the product which they haven't done. It has been 3 months since I purchased the item and they do not even respond to my email customer support request. They do not have a phone number to call them. They are thieves.

Good Evening. My name is Tat. I purchased a packaged of bids at the mention website above www.quibids.com to be able to buy items for less as money I saw this website on CNN and I though it is was a reliable source, however, after I try to bid, I noticed I could not buy or win the item I wanted to buy. My experience with this website was very sad and I felt like if I had lost the money I had input and I think it needs to be stopped. These people are stealing consumers' money and you can never get to buy what you what because there is always the same person winning the item.

I recently saw an ad where someone bought an Apple iPad for $66.00. I went to this Quibids website because it looked interesting and wanted to see what was going on. I tried to bid on an item and was prompted to open an account. I was okay with this because that is not that uncommon. I entered my personal information and was then asked to purchase bids for $48.00. I was still okay with this because at this point, I thought the money was going into an account and it would go towards the items I would soon be bidding on. Not the case. I quickly realized after purchasing another $27 in bids that each time I bid on an item, the bid was deducted from my account even though I had not won anything! I was out $75 in a matter of an hour with nothing to show for it!
