After likely deleting my notice regarding items I won, I became worried that something had gone wrong. Upon calling and speaking with a very nice agent, I was quickly assured that my auction win had indeed been shipped slightly late. Sure enough it showed up in my mail the next day!
In current bids it says the name of the auction NOT the Auction House. No location to down load a resale tax form ahead of time. A bidder can't change their credit card it's just one choice. The return policy needs addressed because a number of these auction houses don't verify what they are selling. AKA selling gold filled as gold! Other options of payment would be good Zell, PayPal etc.
Was a easy bidding auction. Good pictures and product info. Site was good and clear to navigate.
HiBid.com is like the Wild West with even less accountability. Many auction houses post purposely misleading, broken and outright counterfeit items. Not only does HiBids not hold them accountable but as a buyer you can not leave reviews, reporting them to HiBids does nothing because their customer service is equally distasteful and malcontent. Seller's not only can get away with fraudulent practices, they leave little to no descriptions, put as is, mislabel and mislead, shill bid and price gouge shipping. To top all of this off Seller's can leave reviews on buyers that only sellers can see, and they can do it anonymously, so not only can they leave bad reviews about buyers for any reason under the sun, but a buyer can be shut down from bidding- unable to know what, why, from whom, contest or defend themselves, unable to receive refunds, absolutely nothing. HiBids customer service response is the same, "there's nothing you can do, back track all of your auctions you've bid on and speak to each one individually and see if they will admit to a negative review and change it otherwise make a new account with a different email address". It baffles me how a site like this not most of its shady auctioneers aren't neck deep in legal issues. The whole structure in place is completely one sided on purpose and HiBids is content with it as long as they get their cut of the profit because they knowingly exploit all of the legal loopholes and don't even deny it when you eventually speak to one of their representatives. I highly recommend avoiding this site thoroughly or limit yourself to local in state auctioneers that you can inspect for yourself in person assuming they let you, alot of the deceitful auctioneers are catching on and making bidding online only with no in person inspections, pickups or payments all under the guise of "COVID Safety". Tread very carefully for the sake of being scammed and retaliated against.
Tip for consumers:
Read my review and take it to heart, limit yourself to in state auctioneers that let you inspect auction items, avoid "police seizure auctions" at all costs, along with auctioneers that prohibit on site inspections and only offer online/shipping only with no descriptions and purposely limited pictures who sell everything as is under the guise of "COVID Safety" many of those sellers are return pallet resellers and a majority of their products are broken/missing & they blame you.
