Zbiddy

The website appears functioning though there have been no auctions since early February. Live chat doesn't work and they have not returned emailed to get auction codes on items won since September of 2013.

Please pass this link on. Stay away from all of these penny auctions! Most of them have class action law suits pending. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/upgrade-your-life/hidden-dangers-penny-auctions-*******.html

Pure scam! Don't waste your money here. Ebay is definitely much better and more guarantees in terms of product availability and time. I bided on something where 13 seconds was 4 hours and still counting...! This place is a joke.

I signed on for Zbiddy today. The site crashed multiple times as I was bidding. I used the live chat. They did not assist me. I tried logging in, they said my password was wrong. I have no idea how that could be. I checked my spam. Apparently I "won" 17 bids within 3 minutes. That is interesting. Stayed on the customer support line for 15+ minutes. Eventually they gave me a full refund and closed my account for me. So, other than this being a huge waste of time, at least I got my money back. I'd stay away though - this whole site is a scam.

There are few people who are falsely bad mouthing about zbiddy. How can zbiddy charge you during registration when you never give any CC info to them? They never ask for credit card while registering. Zbiddy has shipped all the products which I won. Heavens! I really trust this site.

Not a real fan of penny auction sites. Seems they work great for some, not for most. In my experience, I fared very well with the $100 airfare travel cheques, $100-200 hotel cash cards and two-for-one companion airfare vouchers. OR SO I THOUGHT!

I happily paid for my deals, went to redeem them and realized why they were so easy to win. There's like a million different black-out dates, restrictions and time restraints. For air travel, your initial ticket has to be over $350 and your trip must include an overnight stay on a Saturday. For hotel discounts, you have to book at least 4 consecutive nights.

Now, I'm on a budget and don't travel often. When I do, it's not for long periods of time. I try to get the best deals on airfare and I certainly try to avoid the most expensive nights to stay in a hotel. I thought winning these vouchers would be a great way to do so.

It was a complete waste of my time and money bidding on these. What a bummer!

After being shown a bid taking place where a Mac Air went for $9 in the promo i was surprised to see that the number of items you can bid are are small and very spread out over 30+ days! I feel like this is a total bait and switch and I want my money returned. As it stands they have no return policy so I am contacting my credit card company today! This place is a total scam!

Am glad more people agreed that this site is fraud. Just in case I saved most of my chats conversation with them, all their promise and fail. They are total fraud even though at the initial time they were okay and later all the things i won including ipod never received them and some that i received didn't work, they even gave me an empty usb card reader. I left more than one thousand bids for them when I noticed they were playing games and more over nothing good to bid for from them.

Is there a negative number. THIS IS A SCAM/FRAUD! Stay away from this website! They automatically charge your credit card without giving you warning. They did say I will get refunded in 3-5 business days. (I hope so!). Do NOT have anything to do with this website. It will cause you lots of pain and headache, never mind losing $$$ too.

The biggest SCAM! PLEASE don't fall into their trap... they charged my account $99. I didn't have a clue... I'm so upset! These people are nothing but thieves! When you do a live chat with them its a pack of lies... They said they would send me a $100.00 gas voucher... that didn't happen... big bunch of liars! Their time is coming, they are a bunch of losers!

Ok so idiot number 5,000,000 here. Lol I logged on like the rest of you put my cc in thinking it was to verify my identity and for later if I decided to try it. Bam 99 dollars charged to card. Now my question is did any of you get your money back?

They put multiple ads on craigslist, then when you respond, they send an email saying they JUST sold the product but... "they found the item on zbiddy for even cheaper and you can too". Its not OK to play bait and switch. Due to this deceit I will never use zBiddy and I will also spread the word that it uses dishonest, unethical tactics in its marketing!

Never go there unless you want to loose your money! I saved up over 400 bids and tried to win a $100.00 gift card, you can't do it! If you get close to winning they freeze the screen then you loose your spot and just wasted all kinds of time. Easy to win the free bid stuff but thats about it. Save yourself some time and money and stay away from this scam!

I clicked onto zbiddy when it showed up on my email. I never clicked on for more information nor did i submit my debit card number. Next thing i know, there is a $99 charge on my monthly statement from zbiddy. I call this fraud. Tomorrow morning i will contact the florida attorney general' s office and i urge others to do likewise!

SCAM of all scams. I got a text message, responded to it. It said I got free bids, but they ended up costing me $97.00. I complained and they offered a $100 gas card. After almost 2 months, I got a voucher for $10 rebate on gas. You will get 10 $10 vouchers, but can only use 1 at a time. I sent my first one in and have waited 2 months for the voucher.

I also "bought" 4 gift cards $10, $10, $25, $25. I didn't win the auction, but used the "Buy It Now" option. It has been 3 months and I haven't received a thing, not even a response to my numerous emails.

Stay away from this website, unless you are a hacker and can bring this site down!

Thieves - Plain and Simple.

I was the last bidder on 3 "Gift Cards" and won none. The timer ran to zero with no winner then the auction was restarted with the clock at 24 hrs.

Unable to pay for items won. Comes back with credit card expiration date error. Worked 5 times previously.

Ripped off, will dispute the charge to my credit card, then they had the nerve to call me the same day and ask how was my experience! You can guess what I told her and she offered me 25 free bids to lure me back. Stay away from this fraud and scam site!

App for collecting money by offering nothing. When you purchase you get
Nothing and no way of recouping your
Money. When you call customer service
You have the honor of speaking to
Someone who speaks broken English
( if your fortunate). They claim they will
Return your money-don't hold your breath.
Still waiting after 2 years. Shame on me.
Are they out of business?

All I know is that I was supposed to be registering for free, I should of smelled the rat when my credit card information was asked. As soon as i finished my registration 99 dollars was charged to my credit card. How anybody can call this a good site when this is done right at the outset boggles my mind. I haven't touched the site since and have started proceedings in hopes of recovering my money. Looks like it's going to be a long process.

ZBiddy is definitely a scam site. Go to EBay instead. And good luck disputing any charges from your credit card from ZBiddy. I tried disputing a charge from ZBiddy (w/o my permission) from my Best Buy credit card and they were not able to help as well. So I end up closing my account for lack of support. Funny though, Best Buy keep sending me a new card. They just don't get it, lack of common sense.

I can't believe zbiddy.com is still in business. I would be ashamed just working there and not notifying the consumer of the ongoing fraud.

I wish that they had more stars to the right to make "minus" ratings. The live chat popped up while I was checking out the site, I'm sure it was canned posts, but it said I could get 25 free bids. I bid on a $10 Burger King gift card, I won with a penny, I was charged $79.01~

Everything everyone has said in their reviews happened to me; wasted time on the phone, lies, misleading advertising. We can report them to the Department of Consumer Fraud and several others! Please contact me about finding an attorney that will take this case-class action on contingency!

My experience is that they are very very slow in delivering products that have been won. With that being said, auctions could be won at reasonable prices if you are patient and watch long enough to understand when and at what prices other bidders get bored and go away. Here are some other tricks that I found that address some of the concerns that others have.
When I signed up, I didn't give them my credit card information because I didn't trust them. I exited at the point that they were asking for my credit card. That was far enough, though, that I was registered and I was able to log into the site without ever buying the initial $99 bid package. I didn't give them any credit card information until after I had won an auction.
There is a Spin The Wheel page where you can win up to 10 free bids a day by spinning a roulette type wheel. You can only do this once in any 24 hour period. The trick is to click on "spin" and if it isn't going to land where you want it, just click any other link prior to the wheel stopping and you can go back and try again. I retry until I get 9 or 10 bids each time.
I have won some good items that have been delivered, but there are some auctions that I won back in December that have still not been delivered and the selection of new auctions has recently dropped to almost nothing. Looks to me like the site is shutting down and I probably won't get the last items that I won.
