They do not tell you upfront that they are going to charge you $159.00 for bidding. When you contact this company they tell you that the notification "pops up" before you hit "okay". This is a total LIE! I checked out the site, I looked to see if I would be charged... no mention until they have YOUR INFO to bill! I contacted their supposed "customer service dept" who said they would place a refund back to my account. They NEVER gave me the credit! Now I am disputing this charge with my credit card company. BUYER BEWARE! DO NOT USE THIS SITE. FYI, I believe that it is also rigged to never win a bid. Every time the bid drops to 10 seconds it automatically adds time so that it continues, then when you do try to place a bid, it won't place it. TOTAL SHAM!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
how do I get the phone # to the main office and cancel my membership to zbiddy .com
do not want to be enrolled in this
After being burned for a few weeks I can say that this is for sure a bogus scam operation
Zbiddy is out of control with greed!Is there no one out there to stop them, or are we all fair game?
I had fun spinning the wheel, bidding and buying all kinds of things - only problem is I've not received any product. When directed to call the company about my exciting 3 day getaway, the customer service folks were very nice but sadly ineffectual. I was told they would get right back to me with the details. I did not receive any return email, did not receive any return phone calls, and definitely did not recieve any products. I'm fairly dissappointed. I did read the reviews both good and bad and, for some reason, trusted the good.
I've made another attempt to contact customer service requesting refunds with no response, so now I'll let my credit card company handle it.
This company is a bad scam. Please beware it is not worth the time and effort.
The stories r very true.
Zbiddy only charge for bid package that one purchase on their site. Also, the signup is absolutely free. You must check it up with their customer support.
Those who blame Zbiddy are the ones who lost their bids and lost the auction. Zbiddy is a fair site.
Registration is absolutely free on zbiddy. Seems like you got a spoof email.
Zbiddy is a nice and a great site. Always help their users.
Zbiddy is really sincere and the best among other penny auction sites.
Read "How it works" and "Terms and Condition" page. It is mentioned there that to place bid, you have to purchase a bid package and it is standard across all penny auction sites.
Kindly contact customer support at [protected]. We'll help you with your concern
ZBiddy is a big scam. They compare themselves to Ebay? Shame, shame on them. Ebay don't steal your money and ZBiddy is all about stealing your money, right from the start. .
This other people that claim to be satisfied with ZBidd, is all lies too, I believe. They must be getting paid by the money that ZBiddy steals from the people, like me.
I TOTALLY REGRET DECIDING TO CHECK OUT THEIR SITE. AS SOON AS I DID THEY TOOK MY MONEY RIGHT AWAY FOR NOTHING AND THAT IS WHAT I CALL STEALING, SCAM.
DON'T GET FOOLED TOO BY THEIR LIES.
I just want to say that my experience with zbiddy.com has been very pleasent. I started to receive my items that I won.
I am completely dissatisfied with you. I have been their user since last 1 year and their navigation system and information on their site is completely visible. Zbiddy is an honest site.
i has 1119.00 taken from my account today withing 3 seconds. i came to this site and saw 3 free bids did not know what it was all about..registered BUT they never sent it to my emails ..not even 5 minutes later i called my card they had taken 119.00 out of 123.00 for something i never heard of..i called and they said they would refund 90 and give me all these credits etc..i have seen nothing . i have a confirmation number but nothing..very very bad
Zbiddy charged me 99dollars and i did not authorize it.They compare themselves to ebay to gain your trust.They to not openly disclose that they will charge you. They ask for your credit card as to be on your account for if you bid but it is not disclosed that they will charge you a package amount. i spoke to the customer service rep and they said they would refund me partial amount and it still is not refunded.then I called again letting them know i contacted fraud claims with my bank and they said the refund would show on my account and to call my bank after I was done talking to them.I called my bank and still nothing. Zbiddy get most their money from trusting idots, still does not make it ok that they sneak that charge.very deceptive! Zbidy make there money solely on people who buy bidding packages and the people claiming to have won are zbidy employees profitting off of americas trusting idiots like myself. They also pose as overstock.com...they are not affiliates as they are pop ups! Zbidy-I am taking you to the news! most likey though you are a company with an off shore account that feds cant track! I give it to Zbiddy for being smart criminals!
Received an email from zdiddy.com decided to try it after seeing it on the news signing up was suppose to be free with 25 coutesy bids the next day I had a charge of $99.99 called to get a refund they tried to tell me I purchased the 250 bid package then they said I will receive a refund of $74.25 and a coupon fo $50.00 from restaurant.com I think I'm going to make an official complaint with the BBB. I 'll update you on my refund.

Sometime It's easy to win at Zbiddy.
You'll have to purchase bid in advance to place your bid on any auction on ANY penny auction site. Zbiddy is not new or not doing any cheating with their members. Also, the timer works in same way.
I went on zbiddy.com and put my card info in like an idiot.. I found out if you call them they will say the money is not refundable and make some deal with you... they hit me for $159.00 and said that they give me a $119.25 credit on the card and a $50 gift card which I would have to spend $100 to use - so I'm still out money. I took that hung up and started reading on their site... This is posted on the site "All payments for bid packages are non-refundable except for any bid amounts remaining unused on the 1st bid package purchased by a user which qualifies for the ZBIDDY GUARANTY as stated on the ZBIDDY website. The refund will be available for 7 days from the date the user purchased its 1st bid package, provided that the user requests such refund from ZBIDDY within such 7 day period." So I did online chat so I would have proof of the conversation and copy pasted that to the rep...she processed the refund (full $159.00) and gave me a confirmation number. I told her if it is not in my account in 7 days - I am taking the copy of the email chat and sending it to my bank to dispute the charge and I have a black and white trail to prove it with a confirmation number. She said not to worry it will be there and she's sorry for the misunderstanding. BUT I WILL GET ALL MY MONEY BACK - THEY ARE A RIP OFF
***A really unhappy Zbiddy.com customer!
As with other penny auction websites, to place bids and win products on Zbiddy, you must first register and purchase a bid package. The requirement to purchase bids is explicitly stated on the website and in the terms and conditions. If you were unaware that you were purchasing bids when entering your credit card information and selecting a package level, a ZBiddy Customer Service agent is in place to assist you with your concerns and can be reached at [protected] Monday thru Saturday from 8am to 12am EST.
I honestly don't know if this is a good site or not; actually, I found this forum because I was looking for reviews on ZBiddy to get some insight on whether it was a decent site. One thing I do know though is, every one of you that put your credit card information into that site without first knowing about it, IS AN IDIOT. When I registered, it tried asking me for my credit card info & I just clicked back to the home page. That was it; took me right to the auctions, gave me a couple free bids, never asked for my credit card info again. I've now won a couple auctions using either the free bids, or on the "free to bid" auctions, without ever once giving them my credit card info. Honestly, if you put your info into a site that you know nothing about, that's not a scam, that's you being a [censored].
I have been a zbiddy customer for about 3 months and have won and received many very nice items including an ipad 2.
These same official zbiddy or on all these sites trying to convince everyone they are legit. And the same ones pop up right there with them about how they have bid on Zbiddy for so long and how good it is. Isn't it amazing how the all pop up together and talk to each other like they are friends? I would be willing to bet they know each other. A company doesn't have this many complaints if they are doing the right thing. Why are there more complaints than there are compliments?
I have played the game at zbiddy for about 3 months off and on. I "won" a 32' panasonic tv RECEIVED and a Kitchen Aide Blender and a set of very expensive steak knives. ALL RECIEVED. Most of the gift cards I "won" and I am ahead of the game.
What a joke? They charged me money then won't let me bid. Each time I go to register, it tells me my email is in use already. Then, when I click on forgot password, there is no response. BEWARE, this is a scam!
John and Nelson are running a business, they are raising bulls, then selling [censored] to buy bid packages from zBiddy. Now we know [censored] will buy us brand new iPad 2.
Let's say I win iPads 2 for $57 within 6 bids. Great deal! Then should I go to public and tell everybody that "Hey, I know a great web site that I bought an iPad for 57 bucks in 2 minutes." or I should just keep that secret for myself! Oh, right, the auction was too boring and easy for me, that's why I need more competitors to increase my money up. I have a lot of money because I am selling [censored], too.
Shut the heck up mother fk, do not come up and say some [censored]. On zBiddy.com they have the picture of the winner with their prize, don't even just say "I won couples of items"
And officialzbiddy, Here you are!
Let me see how fake you are!
First of all, people get to know your site thru another advertising website. (I know zBiddy thru an spam email)
2nd, You comparing your site with a well-known one (eBay) to make people feel safety, familiar to destroy their caution!
3rd, comparing to eBay but not using their great service is Paypal as a payment method. Why? "Because Paypal is not providing me customers billing information, I can not make an unauthorized charge to their credit cards)
Last but not least, you don't have BBB ( Better Business Bureau) sign which is the popular sign for online business.
zBiddy is still making money because people love iPad and want to have it for cheap.
Right? Mr. OfficialzBiddy!
Well I have read all of the comments, I too have won over 10, 200 bid auctions and have only bid on them with 7 -9 bid and won. Although I read all the agreements before I started biding, i did understand that each time a person bids on the last countdowns it does add 15 additional seconds to the clock. Possibly these people don't read contracts before they start something. Also I have won over 9 big ticket items that I am waiting to have delivered. Now that worries me because they are all big ticket items and I won them all on one day. I do hope they get here before Christmas. It would be nice.
zbiddy uisd a complete rip off. they charge you for enrolling and you don't even know it. they should be banned and then you can't even get ahold of them.
