I've been playing this since 2012 and have won many items. It's a great way to purchase items at a low cost.

Be aware... When you use your PayPal account to buy bids & it has a zero balance, the funds will come out of your checking account if you have it linked to your PayPal account!

I was out of the country and didn't have an address to ship my winning item to. They worked with me to hold the item for later shipping. They didn't have to. Good customer service!

I have had a lot of fun on this site. Just wish that the bids I buy were not so expensive. One problem that I have with the site is that it is addictive. I love auctions.

It is fun and easy, everything you win is mailed with no shipping charges, and if you buy you get your points back.

Great deals all day and every day.

A problem I had with bidding on DealDash was handled quickly, professionally, clearly, and very reasonably. It was an excellent exchange in my first encounter with Dealdash Customer Service.

I saw my grandmother doing the bidding on deal dash and saw she was not winning anything so i decided to bid on some $10 gift cards that were going for only a few pennies. Low and behold i bid and won it for 1 cent i bid on another and again 1 cent. I bid on another product a official MLB baseball and won it for 3 cents and again another $10 gift card and won it for 3 cents... all of a sudden these products stopped showing up... we used the rest of the bids she had and won nothing else so i started to think these items r not showing up its like bait and switch... i went to my apartment next door and signed up on my computer diff ip internet connection and all... low and behold the same items that she was able to bid on showed up i went to her house with my lap top and the small items that were going for a few pennies she could not see them or look them up in the search area but on my computer they were right there they basically get u to sign up and will give u a few items no one else is bidding on than as soon as u win 4 small items they dont let u anymore thus making this straight BS they r scamming people for there money and a class action law suit would put them out of business

Hi Jason, some of the lower valued items are beginner auctions and once you win them, you are not able to win them again. This helps keep a healthy and level playing field among new bidders and chance to practice your bidding strategies before moving up to higher valued items. Please get in touch with any other questions you may have an we'll be happy to help. Thank you, Dave

I have not gotten any great deals lately but I have not been a diligent bidder. I have only been able to bid at night and have lost out on 2 items because I fell asleep.

My used bids should go towards buying the product if I don't win or used enough bids towards the price of an item, but they make you buy the item to return used bids.

It is fun to play... it can be costly if you let it be... but definitely fun! I would recommend trying it out... they give your bids back if you lose your first time.

I think that dealdash is the fairest bidding site out there. If I do not win, I can always buy the product. I also love that I am able to earn bids without always having to buy bids.

Everything is over priced & yes Deal Dash does make a big profit. They offer Bid packs to use, but you can't even get to the good stuff like TVs, laptops, or kayaks without spending a great deal of money to buy bid packs so you can place bids on on their bid packs just so you can build bids up to get over to the good stuff. Now if you are inclined to buy junk then you can bid on stuff that no one wants then go ahead. Furthermore I was told system has hold issues. I had placed several bids on a bid pack was congradulated on the win then another user's name was placed in mine. I have contacted support several times and told it was the other person's win that it was a system error on my part yeah right. Don't try emailing them you will get no reply, also while IMing they will end chat quickly then tell you it was yet another one of their system errors,& calling they are very nice try to be helpful, but they neglect to tell you that if you lose bids again without winning anything you are out of luck & you will have to buy more bids again, so either way they get money out of you! In all I walked away with nothing!

Thanks for writing Anna. As you know, we are not a normal retail store, since we offer the recreational experience that we believe makes us unique. Therefore if you are to purchase items from us at our price, the price may be higher than what you will find elsewhere. We will, however, give back all the bids used in the auction if you decide to pay our price to get an item. The DealDash store prices may fluctuate both up and down from time to time and the price is always shown in advance before entering the auction so you can always see what our price will be.
While many people do save money it's important to remember this is entertainment shopping so most people shop here because they are looking for a more fun and exciting shopping experience. DealDash can't guarantee you will win however they do guarantee a full 90 day money back guarantee on your first purchase - no questions asked. This allows you to try the site risk free. I see that we have issued your full refund for the bids purchased, but please let us know if there’s anything else you need. We’ll be happy to help.

You will never get anything for the price they advertise. You'll spend hundreds on buying bids. They lie about the cost you can get products for.

Hi Jaun, thanks for your review. I'm sorry to hear of the disappointment. DealDash works as a pay-to-participate auction site where you purchase bids to participate. The prices displayed in our marketing and on our website/app actually do include the cost of bids. In fact, we try to be extra honest here: we calculate the estimated price of bids much higher than users will almost ever pay for those bids, because we don't want anyone to feel tricked about the pricing of the items that our users win on DealDash. Even when including the cost of bids and the final price paid, the vast majority of auctions on our site are bought for less than retail price. We would love to assist you further, please don't hesitate to contact us at support@dealdash.com, available 24/7. We value your feedback and are here to help provide a better experience.

Usually I end up buying the item to get my bids back. With the cost of he bids and usually cost of the item, I would have been ahead to just go on ebay and buy the item.

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!
