This auction site is the best one I have ever joined! Winning definitely happens and if you don't win you can use your bids as credits towards the end purchase of your desired item. Shipments are ultra fast too!
I purchased a product from them on action got no where with management ask for a corporate address so i could go to court there reply was its on there sight but there is none listed just a bunch of warehouses for action. They are very deceiving company they tell you product worth 300 and i saved 70 % gave measurements on add nothing was correct sold me a box of scrap for 120.00 look at pics and discretion of product all i got was a box of bolts and parts total rip off.
Madbid is a gamble that the next bidder will not bid and the goodies will be yours, its fun but not cheap to play if you can afford to lose the money you invest then its for you, it can get get very grippy towards the end of a long auction (they can last a very long time) success is not guaranteed but its entertaining.
I never saw it coming i thought the £99,99 i deposited was the amount i could spend, but no it was all taken on the bids i made in one day, what a SCAM this is they should be made to refund all the money they have scammed from the public. I feel so stupid being taken in by them, but i wont let it rest there, how can they sleep
Tip for consumers:
DONT
I have used adbid.com to but an ipad but the bidding of the item never stopped. The discounts which they show on the website are not always the way the bidding goes. We will get looted through the credits we purchase.
Stay away scam and also you will not get your money back when you paid so becareful you will lose your money and also you wont get any thing. Every single bid you put on the site or any item will be charge. And also take so long for ending an auction so my suggestion is stay away.
I had newly registered to the site. The timer did not work while I was bidding. Since I found out that bidding was not my thing, I wanted to end my account. Hence I sent a request to the customer service to do so. I am very satisfied with the handling of my request. The same day they closed my account and Within three days I received my money back. Thank you so much! Meike/ Netherlands
Complete scam. I bought credits, then selected autobid for a macbook after bidding for 2 hours. The autobidding then bought me more credits without my consent. Strange the BBC and Guardian newspaper have been taken in by this. Don't touch it with a bargepole
All you people saying this is a scam are making me laugh. Clearly you didn't read or research this site very well.
I found this site back in 2013 and decided to have a go. Id been looking for an ereader but couldn't decide which one I wanted. Madbid had a few on auction. I placed an automatic bid on a Kindle Paperwhite. I won it for 7p. Ok, ok. I bought 275 credits which at the time were £13.95 (on an offer I think) and P&P was £7.99 but I didn't really care. Id just got the Kindle I wanted for £22. Bargain.
One of the best auctions run in madbid. They will send the brand new products. Bid brilliantly and win great stuff like ipad and iphones also but i won small stuff but i am trying to win laptops and iphone soon. Great website.
Thank you vey much madbid. You guys are great.
The worst site in the world, i cant even tell you what a rip-off this site is. Just go on eBay for goodness sake, cause this sight is gonna rob you of your money if you go on it. Ahhhhhhhhh I hate this site it scammed me but don't let into scam you please listen to this review and dont go on madbid
Tip for consumers:
stay away from madbid or your about to be scammed!!!!!!¬!
Dear friends,
At begin I was doubtful to enter in Madbid, but I tried and I won! My target was to win Kenwood chef Titanium and I got at a real convenient price. It was funny, mad and really fun> You need to pay attention and decide a good strategy to play!
Well i fell for the scam i put £49.99 on there for 2500 credits i bid on a couple of items when i realised this is just a scam so done the auto bid on an iphone that looked like it was about to end it used all my remaining credits about 2200 in about 1.5h STAY CLEAR
I purchased JBL speaker on 12th Feb 2016' I have'nt received the speaker till now. I did write many mail to madbid. There is a lady called Jane, when ever she replys to my mail she mention I will check with the local supplier and get back to me. All the good reviews on this site. Is for sure paid reviews.
I saw this online in the dailymail and this Elisabeth Morgan looked, at first to work for the dailymail. Looked legite at first.
Thought it was odd how no comments on the advert I left a comment then came up "comments closed".
Did my research and looked on sitejabber. Glad I did.
This Elisabeth Morgan is probably behind it and needs tracking diwn as she is the face of the company.
Bloody scammers..
Try this site out. Great fun and in a way you can't lose. I won an Illumite charger for 1p. I couldn't believe it. I'm going to give it to my son to charge his mobley. Then maybe he will answer his phone when I call him!
Yippieee I won the £100 DashCam for £10,89 Fantastic Win This one was really easy.
Trying for something bigger now but lose credits against some of the big players on this site so its kind of hard. Still I find Madbid Fun and one day i hope to win a Laptop. When I do you will be the first to know;-) Happy Bidding everyone :o)
Madbid is a good auction site. I won some products at very low cost. And it sends brand new products compared to other auction sites... even though i won some small products like kindle and powerbanks but if you spare sometime for it... you will defentely win some exiting products like apple iphone and laptops, and many more. But most importantly you have to be patient... finally madbid is good auction site.

Tip for consumers:
be patient for your time .dont pool aggressively ...amy be it works sometimes but not always
The legality of Madbid.com is all hinged on the Terms & Conditions
Hidden behind a "How it works" link, there you will find a condescending video that will have you
Believe how easy it is to win the auction. The chances of winning an auction are virtually none
Existent, as you have to bid against other bidders and bots, and the some of the bidders who have
More money than sense will use the Autobid function, which has the potential to keep the auction
Going on indefinitely. Recently I was bidding on an auction for MadBid credits, when I a saw my
"Buy Now" price was close to the Auction price, I decided to Buy the Credits.
1950 MadBid Credits Valued@ £194.99
My "Buy Now" Price £25.61
Plus "Earned Discount" £172.37
Credits Used 226
Bids per credits X 6
6 X. 12½p= 0.75p X 226 £169.50
Total Charge £367.48
£172.49 Over the original auction price.
Tip for consumers:
You have more chance of winning the lottery
Daily Mail must have got lots of money for advertising and talking highly about this site BUT this is biggest scam and government should shut this site and fine them or investigate if there are really winners
I found this site online by reading an article, I was so curious and I decided to try, I cannot lie, at the beginning it was a little strange to me, but it is very easy to use!. I began by buying some credits then I was ready easily I won a Kindle paperwhite, I thought that it may take a while for the deliver but it was so fast! I love this site and I am happy with my Kindle
#Madbids.com is more off a "betting" site and less "bidding" site. I was influenced by the article, signed up and started bidding. It didn't take me long to realise its close to a betting site. I stopped immediately and asked for refund.
They refunded my "unused purchased" points while i had much more bonus points. So this proved the point that i LOST money without actually getting anything in return.
HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED and TIME WASTING
Tip for consumers:
HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED and TIME WASTING
I have used Madbid since before Christmas, the money you use to buy credits gets credited to you if you don't win an item you were bidding for, you have to use this to buy items in their shop at full retail price, but I figured If I didn't win I would use my earned discount for Christmas presents, so my family had quite a few food processors and karcher cleaners!, I have won over 25 auctions ranging from a camcorder to a Versace watch valued at over £1500, I am now biding my time bidding for the car they have up at the moment. You do need to invest in large amount of credits, but at the worst you end up paying full retail price for items
Thanks Valerie
I thought the idea of an auction were if you bid on an item and don. T win your moneys. Still in your pocket I bid in a few items and never won anything but they still kept my money even bid on. A toy aeroplane worth about 10 pounds I bid 20 and still didn't win that's not an auction site just a f... n rip of am. Still 50 quid out of pocket KEEP AWAY RIP RIP HATE THEM
If you paid by credit card, you should claim a refund. The rules and costs are not shown clearly upfront. Mastercard refunded me immediately when I explained to them what had happened.
Many old sayings are valid today.
With this particular company..."It definitely IS too good to be true!"
Give your money to charity rather than these legalised scammers. You'll feel better.
Calculate how much madbid makes selling items (remember each bid is around $. 18)
Also, it would be too easy to pick a buddy's bid after the bids make them $$$...

Hello Venkata,
How are you? Did you have a chance to check our How it works video or read our support portal page? If you did, you will see that everytime someone places a bid, the timer resets. The auction ends when the timer has run out, the last person who placed a bid is the winner.
We would love to explain to you further how our site works, please contact our Customer Service Team from our Support Portal page.
Kind Regards
The MadBid Team
