Once you become a member, are there bid packs available in other amounts, either less or more? Thank you for your time. After that initial purchase, smaller and larger bids packages are available to purchase in the "Buy Bids" section of your account. If you lose an auction, you are not required to pay the auction price, no. However, the bids that you placed into the auction are non-refundable.
But, that is where the 'Buy Now' option is useful! We do not allow users to pay more for an item then it is worth. Therefore, an auction will automatically end, once it reaches the value price. However, it very rarely reaches that point. That "1X" indicates that the winner of the auction will also be awarded with a 1X Gameplay! Gameplays allow you to play one of our games located in the "Games" section for the chance to win some free bids!
Our shipping rates are always listed in the Item Description for your review prior to placing any bids in an auction! We are want you to know early so there are no surprises!
I was watching an auction and keen to bid but waiting and then the auction became locked. Every auction will lock at some point if it goes long enough. When that point is though is random.
We try to ship everything out as quickly as possible, but it can take up to business days for an order to process, ship and be delivered. I am still confused about the bid costs. If I bid several times, lets say. Beginner's auctions are reserved for users who have not yet won their first auction. You can find these auctions by the blue outline on the main page instead of the more common gray outline. Also I have seen a few times the clock stop at 5,6 and 7 seconds and not start for a while????
Why does the clock stop, it seams that this is set up to get a high value. If you bid on a stopped clock it will start again. It sounds like you are experiencing a little bit of internet lag which is resulting in a delay in your screen updating.
Please be sure that your system meets our recommendations as this will help mitigate some of this for you. If you did not win the auction, you are not required to pay anything else. You will have the choice though of paying the difference between the value of your bids and the item value price so you can still claim it. If I am bidding on a clothing item and win, do I choose my size? I only see the picture of the item, not the size.
Thank you. You should be able to change the size of the item in the drop-down box right above the item title in the description. If the option is not available or you can not find it, please contact our Customer Support Team and we will be more than happy to help! Yes, you can bid if and when you decide. It is totally up to you! The transaction fee is a fee we are required to collect to process a gift card purchase for you.
You will always be able to see what this fee will be before placing any bids in the Item Description. How much is a "bid? Or, are products available to anyone for bidding regardless of their location?
For example, can someone in California bid against someone in New York? You could be bidding against users in different timezones or even different countries. However, anything that you see on our site to bid on will be from your own country and of the same approximate value in the auction. This means the auction is only available to the users who were actively participating in the auction when it locked.
This prevents more users from jumping in when others have already been bidding in the auction for awhile. I've already emailed customer support for a refund and I wanted to know how long it could take for a reply? We try to respond to all emails as soon as possible, but it could take up to business days for us to respond. However, we will get to your request as soon as humanly possible! Contact our Customer Support team though the Help section and we will be more than happy to help you out!
So, each bid is. Like if i bid at Each bid is pre-paid, so you will not have to pay for your bids afterwards. As a new user, must I bid on a beginner auction before bidding on the "big" auction items? Must I win a beginner auction? No, you are not required to bid in these auctions. We offer them as a way to get your feet wet without immediately competing against more experienced users, but it's up to you! However, don't forget, once you win any auction beginner or not you will not be able to compete in any more beginner auctions.
There are constantly auctions occurring on our site. How long they last is up to you and the other users participating. Yes, if you win an auction, you have 3 business days from the time the auction ends to claim your item and check out.
If you have trouble along the way, contact our Customer Support Team! Limit Buster auctions are won or purchased via Buy Now and automatically deduct the specified number of wins from your day auction win limits. This enables you to participate in more auctions. Limit Busters won't cancel out products you've paid for, they simply open up additional spots for more wins. When a limit buster is purchased, it will remove the most recently won items from your day win limits. Too often when I bid at 1 second the auction ended and said I was too late.
This was NOT the fault of my computer or connection because most of the time it goes through. I am not happy losing a lot of bids because the auction ended and the system did not take my bid.
If this problem cannot be remedied it is pointless to continue. I was not waiting at one second, but clicking promptly. You can always send the auction number and a description of what happened to our Customer Support Team and we will be more than happy to look into this for you! Is the " buy now" price below most advertised retail pricing ; say I didn't win an auction I've participated in and hit the "buy now" button.
Will the "buy now" price result in somewhat below retail savings? We recommend that you do your research prior to bidding to determine if you think the value price is a fair price or not. It's just like buying the item at retail price! So at least you had a chance at getting it at a discount, eh? Please note that this offer applies to real bids only, and that voucher bids to do not apply to the Buy Now option.
The bids you purchased do not pay for your auction wins. Locked auctions are a new feature on all QuiBids auctions that allows bidders to win more easily by limiting the competition in each auction. If you would like to add new billing or shipping information, you will have this option at the time of your next purchase. I didn't understand when I started bidding that each time I pressed down -6o cents! I Love it! And I kinda figures out hot to bid Hint: If you see than tons of people are bidding on the item you want You probably wont get it so dont waste your bids!
I did waste mine at first but I learned! We are glad to hear that it worked out so well for you! Please be sure to read the rest of the QuiBids and Help sections to learn how to keep your winning fortunes going! It is free to belong to QuiBids.
You only pay for your purchases. You have to purchase bids to participate in our auctions. Do I actually have to pay money? If yes, how much? If you use those bids in an auction and lose the auction, you are not required to pay anything else.
Can some please further explain the no bid before the clock is at 5 mins? So what is the time limit set for bidding for each auction? Where does this 5 min rule come into play? And are there certain people who can bid before the time clock hits the 5 mins left mark? You can only bid in live auctions. We publish auctions well in advance of them going live so users can plan which auctions they want to bid in, but until the auction is live which occurs at the 5 minute mark, no bids are accepted.
We can assist you at that time. Send us the auction number at Customer Support and we would be more than happy to look into this for you! It depends on the auction and when that particular auction locks. Is there anyway to set bids more than a penny higher.
If an item has 50 bids on it and i place 1 bid but don't win the item, am I charged the total at the time I placed the bid 51 or just the 1 that I bid? These bids are pre-paid and placed in your Bids Account. These bids are non-refundable, once placed into auctions. You have to buy bids so you have something to use in our auctions. The Starter Bid Package of bids is the first package new users purchase, but there are more options available for future purchases.
Unused real bids are refundable at your request. On a "you choose it" auction, it seems that if I'm bidding on an item and someone bids on a separate item in the same auction ID, that it bumps the price on my item. How else can the bids on all of them go up at the same time.
This is unethical, if it is true, that a bid on a separate item will raise the bid on my item??? This means that each auction has a list of up to items that you can choose from!
These bidders are known as jumpers and it is what I would consider the norm here at QuiBids. Single bidding is a bit more prevalent as an aggressive bidding strategy. This means that other bidders may mistakenly think that this auction is about to close because they do not see you bidding at the 1 second mark even though you have our auto bidder on.
Single bidding aggressively with an auto bidder backup is fairly common here so that means you need to evaluate the single bidders more carefully than you do on other sites where the aggressive bidders are auto-bidding and the passive bidders are single bidding.
You can fairly closely learn who is active in an auction whenever the quibids timer hits 1 and kind of pauses for a bit.
At this point, all the bidders who are last second bidding will usually all place a bid and the site will register multiple bids virtually all at once. If you are aggressively single bidding, being the count down guy, be sure you give it around 2 seconds after the last bidder places their bid to reclaim your top count down position or you could waste a bid with the late bidders jumping in with last second bids.
Each time you get the count down to go down to 1 and the slew of single bidders have to stop you, you are giving yourself a shot at winning. Perhaps all of the bidders decide at the same time to save a few bids and let the others bid a few times at 1 second. It has happened before and this is the situation you are looking to get into.
Work to bid in spots like this and being the aggressor, giving yourself chances to win. I like to bid at quibids. Is it possible for a single bidder to win an auction if there is a bid-o-matic operating from another bidder?
You are able to begin placing bids into an auction once the auction time has counted down to 5 minutes. I am getting ready to start bidding and I was wondering about the 6 items in the top of a bid page. I checked on each and they all have the same amount of money attached and they all have the same bidder.
Why is that? There are now multiple items available for each auction ID. But now that one product is left up to you! You can scroll through the items available and select which item you would like to bid on. When you win the auction, you will have the chance to select any of the items available.
Why are there several different products in the same auction box that I'm bidding in? I only want to bid on the one I'm interested in.
How does that work? That is our "You Choose It" option, which essentially allows you to choose an item from a list of products that have the same value. It is more akin to bidding on a price point, rather than a specific item. All auctions, for tangible items, have this option. Once you choose the item you desire, the auction page will reflect that choice.
This feature allows us to provide a wider selection of items to customers! The promo code section of registration is optional. To complete registration without a promotional code, just skip over that section. Why is this. Seem strange that bidding order and all was exactly the same on 5 auctions. If you compare all 5 of those auction numbers you will see that they all match.
At times, users will unknowingly have several tabs or windows open that are displaying the same auction, but with a different item from the "You Choose It" section updated on each page. Therefore, while different pages display different items, it is all the exact same auction. As a rule of thumb, always compare auction numbers! That will help weed out any confusion. What happens to bids that are spent on these auction that a disqualified bidder has won?
You are always welcome to send in an email to Support QuiBids. Some products have arrows next to them. Is this pick the item you want to bid on and you may be bidding against someone bidding on a different item? That is correct! Our "You Choose It" option allows you to choose an item, from that list, that you would like to bid on!
Once you select that item you desire, the auction page will reflect that choice. Some users may be after different items, but all the items have the same value price, so it's more like bidding on a price range, rather than a particular item.
Our auctions are user contingent, therefore, an auction will not end until bidding ceases and the timer reaches 0. When bidding stops, who is the winner? The one who placed maximum bids or the one who bids last? The winner of the auction is the user who places the very last bid into the auction before the timer reaches 0.
The 'Buy Now' option allows you to use the monetary value of the real bids you placed into the auction to purchase that item at a discounted price. I am confused about the You Choose It Auctions.
There are multiple items in that auction but if I win that auction I can choose any item for that multiple auction? What if someone is bidding on a different item and they win their auction at a higher bid-is there only one winner although there is many different products?
Even though someone may be after a different item, it is still the same exact auction. Therefore, there is only one single winner, not a winner for each individual item. Why such a job in the price? That total calculation includes the monetary value of bids that the user placed into the auction to win.
It displays the total investment, not just the auction ending price. In response to Q 5," Will everyone bidding on the item get a chance to buy now? Everyone who participates in the auction will be allowed the chance to utilize the 'Buy Now' option. Why must i give details of my Bank Account? If you do accept Paypal, why is it not included in the registration process as an option? We ask for your credit or debit card information to pay for your first package of bids. You will be able to use PayPal as your payment method for future purchases though!
I was watching an auction I wanted to participate in but waiting for the right time to bid when the auction became locked. Locked auctions are a new feature on all QuiBids auctions that allows bidders to win more easily by limiting the competition in each auction. I am considering joining Quibids but have one question.
If I were to want to place a bid on an item where does it show the bidding time available. A maximum of 20 seconds is added to the timer every time someone bids. This gives enough time for someone else to make the decision to bid if they're interested. As long as customers chose to participate, the auction will continue. Going twice If you use a real bid in an auction and don't win the auction, you will be able to apply the value of that bid towards the value price to get a new Buy Now price.
Voucher bids are won in auctions, purchased through the Buy Now, or given away for free through a promo. They are not refundable and can not be applied to the value price so they do not count in the Buy Now. That's not quite right! The bids are pre-paid, so regardless of whether you win or lose the auction, you do not have to pay for the bids after you use them.
I sighned up and started out with bids and 3 vouchers are those free or do I have to pay for them. During the registration, if you signed up for our newsletter, you were also credited with 3 voucher bids for free. When is an auction locks is completely random and based on many different factors of the auction.
The bids you used in the auction are pre-paid so if you do not win the auction, you do not have to pay anything else. The processing time can vary depending on a number of factors. We try to get everything out as quickly as possible, but processing can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few days.
On rare occasions, it can even take longer. If you have an order you are concerned about, contact our Customer Support Team and we will be more than happy to look into it for you! If I win an auction, what do I have to pay next?
Only shipping cost? If you win an auction, first Congratulations! Next, you will need to pay the final auction price plus any shipping or additional fees that may be included. You can review all the fees that might be included though before you begin bidding. This information will be listed in the Item Description for your review.
Yes, you are more than welcome to use either voucher bids or real bids first when you have both in your account. You can choose which to use first through the QBar at the bottom of your screen in the My Bids area. We are always happy to refund any unused, real bids at your request! My question is if every time a person places a bid it ups the time by 20 seconds, then you cannot win unless no one else bids for that 20 seconds.
Is that correct? That is correct. In order to win an auction, you must be the last person who bid before the clock successfully counts down to zero! Why are there different items to bid on in an auction lot?
For example, I was bidding on the "Go-light", when people I was competing with were bidding on a kitchen mixer. Even if I won the "go-Light", I was bidding on the kitchen mixer? Is this the catch?
