In reply to Ana. Totally agree, Ana. It's very unethical what they did. I'm glad people like yourself realized what they were doing. I’m guessing that also contributed to their downfall and ultimately shutting down.

Although it has been years now since I last ‘bid’, I went searching for the site today and stumbled upon this site. I too agree, there was a point where it turned.Any person who had been a regular on their site I’m sure noticed. Like stated above by Steph, there were accounts that would ALWAYS win, using bids that went above value of whatever item…let alone adding in the end price. I at first thought they, these accounts, were humans, but realize now all this time later….they started using AI. That makes sense. Absolutely, there came a point where they completely rigged the ‘game’. It became impossible to win items for cheap against the bots that were installed to always outbid….house always wins.

In reply to Steph. Thanks for sharing that Steph. It's sad that they do this.

Scam, I’ve been with Quibidder for years but I noticed one account that is bidding at all hours and everyday. Live Auctions$25 Shell Gift CardAuction #A832926253. He win wins wins. I contacted Quibids. They told me he is a long time account holder. Well so am I. I have seen people drop out immediately as soon as he bids, because you can’t win against him. You can look and he has past the limits. Quibid’s told me that is because he wins bid busters. They just admitted he wins all the time. Yes scam. Don’t waste your money. This is a fake account that Quibids doesn’t want to lose $25 plus extra bids. When is he going to lose? Never since they are the ones in control of the account

There are two “scam” parts on this site, one is how they lie about the % a buyer gets off any won auctions. Say you win an auction of a $50 gift card for $6 using 20 ($8) real bids and 100 “voucher” bids. The site says you paid $14, a “72% savings”, but the 100 voucher bids cost you $40, so you really paid $54 + service charge of $1.99 for a $50 card. I just watched one bidder pay $8.57 for a $50 + 35 bids auction valued at $64. A “savings” of 87%, according to QuiBids. However, this winner had used 228 voucher bids in addition to the $8.57 for an additional total of total of $91.20!….$99.79 for $64 value. Hardly a savings of “72%”. You CAN win with these savings, IF you watch your use of voucher bids, but be aware there are at least 20 “bidders” on this site daily who use up to triple the value of “voucher” bids in almost every auction they are in, with the effect that many bidders are run up to the “buy it now” cost of the item without winning. The second scam is to put a “partial lock” on the bidding instead of a total lock. This allows 2-3 bidders to bid almost to the max “buy it now price”, and then a NEW bidder can jump in. The old bidders end up paying full price, but the new bidder WILL make a tremendous savings on his win, and, of course, QuiBids gets 2-3 x’s full price for the auctioned item. Full disclosure, I have been on BOTH sides of those auctions. Be prepared to pay Full Price + “service charge” on auctions you don’t win.
