HiBid

There is nothing wrong with this site. Sure there are glitches every so often but the sheer volume of this site and the ease at which a good running computer can navigate and bid, there are no complaints from me.

Access was simple although, I have to use Firefox in order to login. I get captcha errors when using Chrome for some reason. Bidding is simple and straight forward and terms and conditions are clearly laid out.

I especially like the past /current bids and watchlists views for tracking lots that I've won...sometimes I get carried away and forget what I've bid on or won :)

This site illegally sold my families personal belongings and Pack rat made a lot of empty promises, when they breached their contract and gave us further details because they knew they messed up and realised they could not sell it because they knew what was in there. My identity was also stolen and I cannot legally prove who I am because My social and other personal information Identifying who I am, was in there. Down to our entire house, I contacted my states legislatures, DC and police in AZ, they have been more helpful than this company and Packrat. Do not buy from this company with out 100 percent knowing if anything is stolen and personal Identification cards and/ or identifying who you are. Not only that I am haven complete strangers use my identification online without my permission impersonating me and my family.

Live auction runs slow on the cell phone, so hard to keep up with bidding. Need to be on a computer for faster updates as everytime there is a ping sound it starts over on the upload/refresh. Cannot see anything on the cell phone other than your bids or watch lists.

So easy to use this site. From seeking auctions near you or seeking a particular item that you "just can't live without", Hibid will have it. Or just go to Auctions Ending Soon and try your luck and find items you did not even know you needed yet.

Shill bidders are phantom bidders that advance the sale price on behalf of the seller. I placed absentee bids on several lots. The lots I lost I was outbid by legitimate bidders with user IDs. The lots I won the bidding was run up by an unidentified "Floor Bidder" with no user ID. Then the 'Floor Bidder" drops out when the price hits my maximum high bid. This is all visible in the bidding history of each lot.
This scam cost me hundreds of dollars extra on 3 lots. HiBid will do nothing about it. They don't even make contact information available for customer service.
1. Don't buy on HiBid
2. Don't place absentee bids on online auctions

As someone who hasn't had a lot of experience with Auctions, I thought the type of bidding and keeping up with the auction, especially been putting in a maximum bid, etc. was very easy to accomplish and help me to win several lots along the way, and in both of the times that I've used it so I think HiBid online is a great place to keep an eye on the things you want.

Hibid doesn't care if you get ripped off by an auction company. They won't even respond to complaints. I've been ripped off on shipping charges multiple times. $138 to ship a $10 purchase. It should not have been over $40 tops. I am still waiting on one auction company to ship an item I paid for two weeks ago. They respond that it takes them 2 to 4 weeks to ship items. Ridiculous! If Hibid doesn't care about their users, only about their fees.

I have participated in several online auctions through HiBid. Nothing could be easier! Simply register and you are good to go. Win auctions from the comfort of your living room! I have added to my collections of carnival glass, pottery, artwork, furniture. Whatever you are interested in, you can find it on HiBid.

I have done business on Hibid for several years and generally been very happy. Aussies Auctions now Morrison Auctions changed that when they sold me counterfeit coins and would not issue a refund. It is in clear violation of Hibids seller terms, but Hibid won't enforce that.

Everything worked perfectly during the auction, the only hiccup I witnessed was the refresh didn't happen a few times as it stated. Otherwise it was a very good experience for me. I recommend friends to here all the time.

In previous auctions as well they sent a missing item as well. When i sent them email about that they didn’t respond back.

Fees have doubled twice, and this company gets worse and worse. It took two years for them to correct issues related to mobile optimization. They do not ask auctioneers for feedback and then make random changes. So much fraud from Hibid clients that we don't even want our sales posted. They had a ransomware attack that shut our business down for two weeks. Try to get a response for them when there is a problem– they move slow as snails. We could save tens of thousands a year with another provider and will be leaving soon.

My son made a purchase through HiBids auction. He won the bid, they took his money same day. The item never showed up. Tried contacting HiBids and was given a number to call for the auction. No answer after calling several times a day with many messages. Called BiBids and was told there is nothing they can do about it. If you're feeling lucky give them a shot. Or buy a lotto ticket.

Bid on several items, won 2. Went to pick my merchandise up and the lady running the thing was EXTREMELY RUDE! She needs another line of work where she doesn't have to deal with people at all. The items I bought were not described properly and one of my items doesn't work! I lost on this deal! No more online auctions…. If I can't feel it, see it and test it before buying, I don't want it. I threw away money on top of the lady being one of the RUDEST people I've ever encountered!

During an auction by A.J.C.A LLC out of Corbin Kentucky on January 17 I placed a winning bid for 50 g of.999 gold. They were several lots of this same item. I was watching the bidding, live and when the window closed, I was awarded the win. I did not receive any notification from HiBid or AJCA about an invoice for shipping. I do have a screenshot of my winning bid. It was lot 100 a. I participated in another auction by another group a few days later and won bids there and was notified almost immediately about my win. When I reached out to HiBid today to inquire about an invoice or shipping they denied that I had ever bid and then they went on to say that no one won that lot. That is insane. There was lots of bidding on gold bullion. It does not make any sense for them to say that no one won that lot. I provided them with a picture of my screenshot and my account name. Fortunately, nothing has been deducted from my bank account. I do think they should honor that pricing and provide me with what I bid on and won.

Have made several purchases through HiBid and have multiple issues.
Recently purchased a Remington 700 and now the guy won't answer to get the rifle shipped. Won't return any phone calls.

A few months back, I purchased some baseball cards that the seller said were real but are fakes!
Auction company says they are waiting for the co-signer to return their call - 3 weeks later, I have heard nothing and they are now not answering my calls!

Bought an air-fryer and it never came.
Canceled the payment via card.

Seems they don't do their research on the auction companies under their umbrella or they just don't care.

Stay away - far far away!

This auction will charge your high bid at the end of the auction regardless of the ending bid. They are here to purposely ring up the bidders on every item as much as possible. Never, ever use this site, it's a scam.

I don't understand the bad reviews. I've always had great service and I've always got items I've won. I have NEVER not gotten an item. I'm speaking from experience. I probably have 40-50 items in my house. Latest item a Breitling watch, half the price of what its worth (yes, it is authentic!). Shipping can be high sometimes but that isn't a hibid issue. Another thing, bids ALWAYS goes up during the final minutes. It's the nature of the game. Every auction is like this. Decide what you will pay and stick with it. Some you win and some you won't. That's how auction are. There will always be another auctions, if you don't get it this time - maybe you will next.

I was looking for discounts and stumbled along Hi bid so as long as the consumers can at least have a chance at buying at a lower price I think it's a winner.

It went smoothly so far.

The only complaint I have with the HiBid process is actually trying to view the pictures within the listing. It is difficult to open and/or scroll through the pictures and it seems like half the time, the buttons for doing so, do not work or you have to select them several times before they will. This has been the case on every auction I have bid on and makes it very time consuming and frustrating.

HiBid has a major problem intrinsic in their policy and protocol models in dealing with issues which arise between bidder and auction house. The first problem are the reps who answer the phone for help. They are not competent and appear to be just employed for talking head purposes. They offer no real help. If a bidder has a legitimate issue with a auction house you are out of luck as to reaching a solution on a equitable plain. The software also does not allow a bidder to cancel a bid - in case you may change your mind a couple of days before the auction takes place, which happens! In cases such as that. The Auction House will tell you to your face - to bad! Trust it happened to me. There are many other problems with this HiBid model. I will advise you - bidder be ware of this platform and go place your bids on other platforms!

Very nice, helpful people! Thank you! Would buy from again.
