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

Over the last few days I have spent more on bids, emptying my checking account and maxing a credit card. I have read your advice to bidders on how to win auctions and have employed those as well as some of my own. I have blatantly (meaning very obviously) been screwed out of wins a couple of times and complained both times and allowed you to appease me with the offer of 200 bids. I have read some of the blogs and frankly find them hard to believe. I look at the people I'm bidding against and see most of them have 0 wins. I gave a bid back for a list of those at their limits and found not even one name of a person I was bidding against in any of the three auctions i was contemplating. NOT ONE other than my own! And exactly what good is that anyways? Any one person could buy more bids at the click of a button and enrich your coffers all in pursuit of that pie in the sky nothing. I used my bid buddy, i went free hand, i watched trends, I counted bidders involved, I researched past prices paid. I have happily paid for what I did win. 2 $10 gift cards and a couple of small bid packets. I am not willing to be out hundreds of dollars with nothing to show for it and yet that is where I find myself. This is a scam. This should be against the law. Oh and that guy bragging and blogging about the piles of electronics sitting around his house because he's so good at this which he kindly donated to charity... how is it he even got to bid on the same thing more than once when I see blocked bidder lists posted on many high end items? Oh and your customer service is great... keep your mouth shut great! You ended up advising me I should not be bidding on high end items since I am new, yet you limit low end items and I get a pop up that says I can only bid on items worth $200 or more And when I don't win you want me to buy it now at an inflated price and give me my bids back. I have never been so embarrassed to wear the giant "L"oser mark on my forehead! I only hope any who read this will BEWARE! From a very disillusioned DealDash Sucker!

Hi Cathy,
I'm sorry to hear you have not won more than you expected on our site and perhaps spent more than you could afford. It appears the majority of the auctions you bid on were Bid Packs and you won 8 Bid Packs totalling 1,865 bids and the two $10 gift cards you mentioned.
Some of the top customer tips and recommendations when bidding is #1 stick to a budget and #2 use the Buy it Now (BIN) to get your bids back in case you don't win. Anyone that does not win the auction has 7 days to decide if they would like to buy the item at normal retail price and get back all the bids used in the auction - plus we'll ship your item for free. I see you have decided not to utilize the BIN option to retrieve any of your bids back yet, however as mentioned the BIN offer is available for a full 7 days after the auction ends so you still have time to decide.
As for the auction winning limits and the list you are referring to. Any bidders shown on the winning limit list have reached their winning limit for the week, therefore those bidders are excluded from participating in the auctions which is why you did not see them bidding in the auctions you were contemplating. We do recommend newer bidders to start off with lower valued items because the high valued items are typically harder to win and usually require more bids. The reason you could only bid on items worth $200 or more is because you hit your weekly winning limit of 6 items valued under $200 for the week.
All customers are entitled to a full refund on their first purchase if not satisfied for any reason. Our customer support team has initiated your refund for you and will be happy to help with any other questions you may have. Sincerely, Dave
Love it... great way to pass the day... sometimes you win... sometimes you just make a donation... but its always alot of fun

I joined DealDash in September 2012. A friend told me about another penny auction site that I tried for a bit, but did not like, so I used the internet to check out some others. I tried a few of them briefly, but was never impressed. Then, I saw and tried DealDash and truly liked it from the start. I read all the instructions, reviews, and watched some auctions before I tried it. After playing for a while, I discovered that if I had a question or a problem, the Support Team was always there … that REALLY impressed me! I started with small inexpensive items and did pretty well. As I graduated to larger auctions, I was successful and began the quest to try to do all my 2012 Christmas shopping on DealDash. I finished all of my shopping before Thanksgiving! Most of the gifts were impressive and on the expensive side. I purchased everything for pennies on the dollar with free shipping.
After shopping for everyone else, and with several large Amazon cards I won, I was able to purchase a quality bicycle for my husband and a cool tricycle for myself. I also won 2 Nikon cameras, 2 laptops, a Samsung cell phone, 2 Samsung tablets, 3 Dr. Dr headphones, a 45" HDTV, a sewing machine, a pressure cleaner, kitchen appliances, linens, toys, and gift cards galore! I now have all the electronics and gadgets I need.
And just recently I won the "Best Photo of the Week" prize from DealDash and chose to receive a $500 Amazon Gift Card. In addition, I received 200 free bids for the initial posting of the photo on their Facebook page! I volunteer with a local animal rescue operation, and so I'm always looking after animals that need a little extra help. That card will buy a LOT of vitamins, supplements, supplies, food, and litter for these abandoned, abused, and neglected babies.
I am an extremely satisfied DealDash customer. The savings are amazing, the support is amazing, and I see myself as being a DealDash customer for life
PS: I have a little hint for folks who might like to know for sure when a UPS package is being delivered. Sign up for UPS My Choice. You will know exactly when a package is being delivered and then sent a message after it is put on your front porch! You can even have them hold a package or re-route a package.

Hi Randy. I'm sorry to hear that there's been a misunderstanding.
The initial payment was for the bidpack you purchased after signing up for your free account. DealDash operates on the "pay to participate/bid model" so it's required to first purchase bids. With that said, all customers are entitled to a 100% money back guarantee on their first bid pack.
We've gone ahead and issued a refund for this transaction. Our support team has sent you a confirmation email. For new users, I normally recommend watching our How it Works video for a brief overview of what to expect from the auctions: http://www.dealdash.com/how-does-it-work
If you need anything else, please don't hesitate to contact me, and I hope you give yourself another chance to take advantage of our bargains!

Date of experience: February 4, 2014
Hi Dennis, it seems you may not be receiving our email replies. Perhaps they have gone to junk inbox? I see you proceeded through the checkout process and provided your shipping address. One of your gift cards has already been shipped and the other is currently processing with the gift card supplier so should be shipped shortly as well. Please send me a private message if you did not get our reply so I can help ensure you do going forward. Sincerely, Dave

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.
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!
Hi Jeff, Thank you so much for your 5 star review, it is truly appreciated! I am happy to hear you are happy with the quality and selection of our items, Happy Bidding :)
