Had some one item never delivered, the hoover vacuum cleaner, and one item so cheaply made it would not become the black dinner buffet it was suppose to be, but rather wood for the fire pit

I use to LOVE DealDash and did win/BIN a lot of stuff from them, but I haven't been on in over a yea, It gained popularity and got pretty hard to win things. That actually wasn't a big deal, it was the people that would waste my bids and money by consistently jumping my bid

I have been doing DealDash for over a year and would agree with the past notes regarding the customer service. I went as far as to contact the BBB of NY at one point, however the customer service has completely turned around and is now very helpful, have great knowledge of the site and truly make you know they are wanting to resolve any issue you may have. CONGRATS DEAL DASH!

If you can avoid the bidders with seemingly infinite bids, you can happen upon some good deals. Hopefully I can snag something other than bids or house goods but it's fun trying

Never again! I was an idiot and somehow believed I would at least break even with something on this site so I kept buying more and more bids and ended up with nothing. Lost $200. Not a good day.

I have won a few auctions. Had fun doing so. Dealdash is alittle slow in shipping items and items are sometimes out of stock but they do offer a replacement offer of bids or gift card.

Dealdash is my first experience with penny auctions. I love the concept and have won some nice items too. Some of the things I have won I was only able to have because I won them for such a low price. I thought there must be a catch but so far everything arrives new in box. I have had several occasions to write to customer service and it is never a cut and paste answer, which I hate. The emails have been personal, and I get specific answers to my questions. I was pretty impressed by that!
In the few months that I have been a customer, I watched DD have a huge growth spurt and being a former business owner myself, I watched the problems that went along with it. To me, they handled it very well, even with ups and downs, and kept me, just a customer, informed! It seems like things are back to normal with fast shipping and emails and I am happy with my experience with this company. I believe in telling people when I have had a good time with a company, because there are so many bad businesses out there. They seem to really work at doing a good job and I am happy with Dealdash.

I won a Canon power shot camera. It took less than a week to arrive. The camera is very nice and I am so happy with it. This was the first "big win" for me and it's very exciting! Thanks Deal Dash!

I just tried this site last week and on my first bid pack I won a 14 inch toshiba laptop and it was part of the weekend where you didn't have to pay the auction price so I paid a penny for the computer plus the 78 dollars for bids but still a great deal I was so excited until now it's been over a week since I won and purchased the computer and I got an email that day saying they would send me a email verification when the item has been shipped it still has not been shipped this site is a scam they tell you you will win let you win something charge you for it but never send you the item and on top of that they refuse to answer my calls don't be a sucker nobody accually wins other than the people getting rich from our stupidity I knew this was to good to be true

Hi Dannielle,

Thanks for writing and sorry for any misunderstanding you may have had. You can contact our Customer Support team on www.dealdash.com/support via email or live chat. We are available 24/7.

I have had a look at your account and can see that the initial transaction was not processed as it failed the account verification process. In some cases this will show as a pending transaction even though it was not completed and DealDash did not process this payment.

These transactions usually clear off your account automatically after 3 business days however, if you contact your bank or card provider directly, they should be able to confirm this to you.

Please let us know if there's anything else you need. We'll be happy to help.

Deal Dash is for entertainment purposes as far as I am concerned. I can honestly say that I spend less money at the casino because the chance that I will hit a jackpot payout is much greater. I find it odd that when I logged onto DD I was able to recognize a lot of other bidder names. No matter the time day or night, those same bidder were bidding on 3 or more auctions. Not good since they constantly seem to win the 9000, 8000, 5000 etc. bid packs so they have thousands more bids than I do so there is no point in even bidding. It's a waste of my bids (the ones I bought with cash). I use my bids wisely. I also noticed that those same "high rollers" are driving up the bids because they are greedy and can't seem to allow newbies to win (not even the small bid packs like the 100,125,150's) really?
I know I can't be the only one but I have noticed that the countdown clock experiences 2 -3 second delays when I am the highest bidder. How convenient. I think things would improve if the software was changed to not allow bidders to bid manually. Bidders will bump other bidders and the other bidder will not get those precious seconds added to their time. Someone needs to fix that because it is not fair to the other bidders, it also increases the cost of the bid.

Hi Denise,
Thank you for your review! I will be happy to address some of the concerns you have raised about our auctions.
1) On DealDash, we have a feature called "Every BidBuddy Counts". This means that as long as a bid is placed via BidBuddy, the user will receive the full 9 seconds in their Time as Highest Bidder, regardless of when the next bid is placed in the auctions. The time is added in batches rather than in real time. Bidders are able to place manual bids, BidBuddy bids, or a combination of both.
2) If you are experiencing delays or lags with the timer, we recommend ensuring you are using a stable internet connection. We also recommend using WiFi over a data connection, if possible. If you continuously run into similar issues, please reach out to us at support@dealdash.com and we will get our technical team involved to further assist as well.
3) We have an excellent compliance team that ensures our terms of use are followed. If you suspect any user of breaking our terms, please let us know and we will pass all the information for our compliance team to investigate.

Please don't hesitate to reach out to our Happiness Team if you have any further questions or concerns, we are here for you 24/7!

Sitejabber for Business

Gain trust and grow your business with customer reviews.

From the business

Bid on auctions and save. All auctions start at $0 with no minimum price reserve. Everything must go! DealDash is the fair and honest bidding site. Founded in 2009, millions of bidders have enjoyed Deal Dash auctions since.

Business History

Established in 2009, DealDash is the longest operating site of its kind in the United States. Before DealDash was founded, millions of Americans tried out 1st generation bidding fee auctions. These first generation auctions left many people with a poor experience.

After one such letdown experience, spending $50 on a pay-to-participate auction site with nothing to show for it, our founder decided to create a fair and honest alternative to bidding fee auctions, where losing bidders don’t have to lose the money they spent bidding. That is how Deal Dash was born in 2009. Today, over 1,000 brand named products are discovered and won by customers every day!

Bid in our online auctions to catch a deal and if you don't win the auction, you can buy it now and keep on bidding!
