DealDash

Be forewarned... you may not actually get the item you pay for when selecting the 'But It Now' option.

I was bidding on an Apple iPod Touch, 5th gen in blue but did not win. Decided with the number of bids I had invested that I would use the 'Buy It Now' option to get the bids back, save on taxes and shipping. Well, well... to my surprise I received an Apple gift card in the mail (does not state this is an option anywhere on the website) for a NANO and stated the card stated the taxes were covered. Now, I was skeptical on how the taxes would be covered if the value was $399. They were not. I ordered the item I thought I purchased online and paid an extra $35 in taxes. I should have just done this from the get go and would have saved myself the aggravation and rise in blood pressure.

I have no intention of using this website again. An old-fashioned bait & switch tactic.

I signed up for an account just to see what it was all about. I got the confirmation email at 8:13 saying your account is active. I received an email at 8:14 as a receipt that I purchased 600 bids for $72 even though I hadn't even had the chance to view my account. I did reach out to customer service and they did a transaction reversal since I never actually made a purchase and they were fast to respond and then sent me an email with our chat transaction. So that so far is the only plus. I still have not received the money back but as soon as I do. I will be deleting the account ASAP and watching closely on my bank account to make sure no more money is taken from me.

Deal Dash is a great way to pick good products. Over the years I have won a number of different actions. I even won a Bike. There are a number of ways to win free bids. Just logging in each day and placing a bid will earn you bids. If you give a review you earn bids. There is a timer at the bottom which keeps track how long you are in first place and when the bar is full you earn bids. You can also exchange items you have won for bids. Best Action site I have seen online

Deal Dash is a fair site and I like your fast free shipping. However you should change the name to Deal Crawl not Dash. Most of your auctions take a long time to end. Some sites end the bidding for people that make enough bids to reach the retail price. Letting people pay more than retail is bad for them and unfair to the bidders. I say once to make enough bids to buy it then cut them off. Base the price of bids at 17 cents or even 15 cents because of free bids that are earned.

I say this because although my issue was addressed in a timely manner I am very displeased with the results. I bid and lost on a $379 messenger bag and after I purchased it the zipper broke. I am very unhappy with the quality of this item and after expressing this I was not able to return it since the "grace" period passed. I could spend the same on a top designer bag and if the zipper broke there would be no issue with a refund

I have tried about six other penny auction sites and I am totally sold on DealDash as being the best penny auction site. DealDash bid price is very reasonable. It's BuyItNow option makes it totally risk free because it doesn't force you to buy the item plus a bunch of bids at regular price. DealDash has always, always, always treated me right. Word of advice to those who are not having success, winning requires a lot of patience and strategy. Set your limit, do the math and prepare to monitor and bid on your desired item patiently over possibly a long period of time. As a contest perk that DealDash runs on Facebook, winners can submit a photo for a chance to win a $500 gift card. Well, I was fortunate enough to be one of those winners, week 49.

Thank you DealDash for being a legit and generous penny auction site.

I think the items they offer are overpriced. I just signed up today to try it out, if don't win any auction after I spend the 500 bids I purchased, will not buy anymore. See screenshot https://snipboard.io/UZw7bx.jpg
Same chair is listed for $649 on dealdash.com https://www.dealdash.com/auction/*******

I was bidding not knowing that each bid took money away from my card. I was under the impression that if i don't win the bid I still have money. But to my dismay each bid cost me. The meter at the bottom encouraged you to get a level or something. I was just kind of lost. And to pay 34 dollars and have nothing to show for it, wow. Never again.
