DealDash

I have joined at least 7 different penny auction sites in the last year. They all have their faults but the real sign of a good company is how they handle their customers and the service they provide. I joined DealDash several weeks ago at the urging of some friends. I watched the site and auctions for several days to learn the patterns of some of the bidders and the behavior of the site. I would recommend to all new penny auction participants to take the time to watch auctions carefully before you jump in. I have been successful with most of the sites using this strategy. You also need to set a bid limit and when it's reached back out to play another day. Shortly after joining DealDash I experienced a problem with purchased bids not showing up or disappearing during auctions. I emailed their customer service folks and together we were able to find and fix the problem. Another thing to keep in mind is that DealDash gives you the opportunity to buy the auction item if you don't win. If you exercise this option you get your spent bids back. I try to only bid on items I would purchase anyway. If I lose the auction I can still get what I wanted as well as bids to play another day. Most of the other sites do not offfer this option or will give you a 50% credit on certain items. They also have win limits on most of the large items which gives everyone a fair chance to win something nice. As with all other auctions you will find bidders that game the system. Deal Dash has assured me they are aware of this and working hard to get these individuals off their site. Since my issues in week one it has been a good experience and fun bidding on their site. Of all the sites I have tried Deal Dash has been the most responsive and honest, willing to admit when an issue is on their end and not trying to blame the problem on you or your computer and internet provider. This should be enjoyable and you should have fun. Good luck to all and I highly recommend DealDash.

I'm still waiting for 13 out of 14 items to be delivered (number 14 has an expected delivery date to me of December 6). Some of the items were supposed to be received by me no later than November 19,2012. The rest by November 24,2012. Today is November 26,2012 and I have received nothing. My items are a combination of auctions won and "buy it now" items. They are all giftcards. I was planning on using them to do my black friday and cyber monday christmas shopping. I was not able to do any christmas shopping as planned. I have made several attempts to contact deal dash through the customer service email link provided on their website. I never heard back about any of my inquiries. I find it very strange and shady that there is no customer service telephone number available on their website. I also "liked" their facebook page, and had posted a comment asking why the dealdash website keeps crashing, and instead of replying to my question they deleted my comment and blocked any capability of me posting comments, liking comments and emailing them on their facebook page. I've notice quite often that people have posted comments on their facebook page i. E. the site crashed, I never received my items I paid for, etc. And whaddya know, within five minutes the person's comment is deleted! In one word: UNACCEPTABLE. This better not be a scam! I still want all of my items. Thank GOD I used paypal for all of my purchases and unfortunately had to submit each item that I paid for and have not received through their Resolution center. I sure hope that lights a fire under the customer service butts at deal dash, and I hope they overnight me everything I have paid for asap!

They dont tell you but they charge you $72 monthly. No way to get items cheap as they claim. I disputed both payments and got them back

I love Deal Dash. Although they have problems from time to time everyone on the deal dash staff works very hard to fix the problems in a timely manner. I have bid on many auction sites but deal dash is by far my favorite. They allow their customers to voice their opinions and concerns then they work very hard to remedy any issues. They have real limits which if you look at Beezid their power bidders are never really locked out of any auctions because they allow them to buy keys to unlock their limits. On Deal Dash as with any auction site the people with the most money win the most. They also end up paying alot more from time to time to be able to win items down the line with fewer bids. This is seen on all auction sites and is not exclusive to Deal Dash. I have won alot in the short time I have been on Deal Dash and the reason I chose to bid here after quitting the last place I bid was because I tried other sites in between Beezid included and the thing I loved most was the free shipping. So many places have over inflated shipping prices especially when they order from Amazon and we all know that Amazon ships for free if you have an account with them. When I have received items and had to ship them back, Deal Dash has come through with the new item. They were behind on shipping for a bit then it rained packages like Christmas at my house for over a week while they got caught up. I give them a 5 even though they have problem because they really do care about their customers and really try to do all they can to make it a place where all have a chance. I know alot of new people won't agree with me on that but the key to any auction is to do your homework. Know who you are bidding against and know how much you are willing to lose to get what you want. Also remember whatever you are bidding on today will be back another time so if bidding gets crazy today wait for next time.

I've been on Deal Dash on and off for 10 years, and always go back for more. Super fun and you can get amazing deals.
