Reviews and Complaints

Its not standard practice to purchase bids at the same time as you are register. On other auction sites you can register without having to buy bids. This company also sells all of your information, including your credit card, email and cell, home phone numbers and excludes any liability for any company who buys this information for there use.

ZBiddy is proud to operate a Customer Service Desk that can be reached at [protected] Monday thru Saturday from 8am to 12am EST. One of our friendly agents is in place to assist you with any concerns that you have.

Yes I went on the site and registered and it would not let me go further until I put in my credit card no., etc. I figured they had to have this incase I won a bid and then would be charged for the winning bid. But nooooooooooooooooooooooo, they freaking charged me $99 I sent 4 emails saying to cancel immediately and never heard back from them. SCAM...SCAM...SCAM... I am spreading the word you freaking thieves.

Boy was I suckered!

What is their phone no? They do not have it listed and now I know why. Thieves!

I am waiting for my $100 gas card...HELLOOOOOOOOOOOO

If you all were to just look at the site before you put your payment information in, then you would notice that as this is a Penny Auction website you have to purchase a bid package in order to bid. I enjoy this website, i've won over 14 items soo far in the last 10 hours of signing up.

I just want to say that my experience with zbiddy.com has been very pleasent. I started to receive my items that I won. Also have been notified by phone that one item was not availiable.

Same happened to me ... I wonder how many thousands of people they have scammed! Wish I would have seen all the negative posts "prior" to thinking they merely "needed" a credit card on file to register with their site! So wrong!

There is no fee on Zbiddy. To place bid, you have to purchase a bid package. This process is common among all the penny auction site.

Registration is free at Zbiddy.They must have charged you bid packages.

Contact their customer support. Zbiddy have a nice support team. They will only contact you if you are the winner. A company will not contact every bidder if they place a bid.

Wrong Wrong Wrong

I was on hold waiting for one of your friendly agents for about 45 minutes (the recording said the wait time was about 10 minutes). After 45 minutes, the friendly agent hung up on me.

Meanwhile I was on the chat line waiting for a response for about an hour.
I was looking for a refund and was offered half off because they knew "how I will enjoy using and winning on Zbiddy".

When they finally relented and offered to refund my entire $99 charge, I was told that the refund would take 5-7 business days. I am still waiting to see the refund.

Meanwhile i have had my bank cancel my bank card so no additional unauthorized charges can be made. They have also started filing the dispute paperwork.

What is your guess as to the likely-hood of success?

I am confused . All autions requre you to purchase a bid pack . bigcactus.com charges $55 dollars I think to even get into their aution . I tired to regiister at about three and all had the same process. Upon registering to zbiddy I received 25 free bids which of course I did not know what I was doing, went fast then you may go to their purchase bids page. There they have a beginners pack for I think 27 dollars. which is i think 45 bids...can't remember right this minute. They stress under the topic How It Works to watch what is going on go to all the pages, read and observe. If you go to the bid voucher auctions, you will see you can use the bids you bought larger bid packs. 200 bids I have gotten for as little as 37 cents..there is a two dollar processing fee for all card transactions..but that is a HUGE savings at that price, rather than to go and purchse the bid packs outright. I have had issues with my site working and they have refunded all bids that I have bide on items and more. The online staff is there around the clock and the phone staff is very nice and will give you tips on how to get more for your money. I do have to dbl check my bank statement after reading all this but i have not received any emails other than confimring my wins...etc. and purchses. Hope this helps. I have to say if you called them and told them what happened, I am so surprised that they just didn't refund your money. YOU know if you have 259 bids or whatever you said you had...it shows them clearly on the top of the page how many bids you have. You had to have seen them . I would like to hear why they did not refund them . I am going to ask them as well what is going on with this. Thanks for the heads up fi this is true.

I don't agree with you. I am a user of many penny auction site and before you purchase any bid package, there are certain steps which itself notify you that you're going to purchase a bid package and you're person who select the bid package amount. So, I don't understand that why you are disagreeing with this. Wake up sid!

And when you win they tell you they don't have the item AFTER you pay for it. Happened to me on 4 items.

Actually I think they are brilliant! making it sound like such a good deal, however since they call it "penny auction" bids should only cost 1 penny.. unless they change it to 60 cent auctions.. otherwise.. yes its false advertising imo. But as you said, the losers basically pay for the wholesale.. thats bloody brilliant xD

zbiddy is a penny auction, which means you pay each time you bid, and the last bidder gets the item. The opportunity to win products cheaply is very real; in most cases, the winning bidder pays a fraction of the item's retail cost. You just have to be smart about when and how you bid since each bid has monetary value.

You may say it is a gambling but if played with proper strategies and patience then it will be a good deal to play such auctions on zbiddy site. I do not agree if you say that zbiddy is a scam because I have won an iphone now and got it shipped.

Boy was I reeled in. I just kept waiting for the going and never won a thing. They show some people bidding on over 10 items at a time if you look through their upcoming auctions. I watched a bid being completed and the person (or machine) that won was a 1st time bidder. If you look at an ipad for example: Say it goes for $80. That's 8000 1 cent bids @ .60 each. Do the math. That's a $4800 ipad. Not a bad profit huh? What a rip off. These kind of sites ought to be put out of business.

I had purchased credits, and was never able to win an auction. Whenever you get down to the last seconds the bidding just continues and continues with additional bidders. A few times I sat for hours, but you just continue to use your credits because the bidding continues. I stopped bidding for awhile and I had money left in my account. Since I had not used them recently, when I went to view my account, the credits were no longer there! I am assuming that zbiddy took them away and I did not know they were going to do this. If I had money in my account, I should be able to use them when I want to. I will never use this site again, will tell people not to sign on and anyone reading this should not use zbiddy.

Lost $159.00 as well, tried to go to there web site to see if we had points to bid with and could not get in, asked for a password reset, which they said was emailed to us, but never received it,
When we call the customer service number we always get the same guy, he barely speaks English, accent was so heavy couldn't understand half of what he was saying, asked to speak to someone else but that never happened, funny most companies have a call center with several people answering calls' felt like i was talking to PEGGY

Bid on three Magazines for 37cents each, when it came to pay they want to charge me over $20.00 each, same as if I'd bought them for FULL price. Trying to say it's shipping and handling, that's BS, I ship things all the time. There is NO savings, you pay full price for everything on their site, the money you bid goes toward the purchase...FULL PURCHASE PRICE!
NO SAVINGS AT ALL.
Should have known better, "IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE IT USUALLY IS!"
I'm not paying for the magazines, so I'm wondering what will happen?

This company in spite of being told I did not want to be a part of their company and to not debit my bank account for $99, this was done anyway. I have notified my bank of my intent to file fraudulent charges against this company.

I agree with all the above complaints. I have spent hours trying to bid on things and have never gotten anything. Unbenounced to me my bids expired. I complined enough and got them back. Did no good though. Lost them all! This website is a total RIPOFF and should be shut down! I love to hear from someone who actually won a bid!

I entered all of my credit card information as per your requeat, but then i changed my mind about purchasing your produst, so ( I DID NOT HIT THE SUBMIT BUTTON TO CONFIRM MY ORDER ON THE CREDIT CARD INFORMATION ), , but you charged me $60.00 anyway! I want this $60, 00 returned to my account! MY NAME IS DAVID CHILDERS< MY ADDRESS IS 3227 SAINT LO DRIVE, IRVING, TEXAS, 75060 MY E-MAIL ADDRESS IS ( davidchilders66@yahoo.com ) IKNOW YOU HAVE MY CREDIT CARD BILLING INFORMATION BECAUSE YOU BILLED ME $60.00, SO YOU CAN TAKE THAT SAME INFORMATION AND ( UNBILL ME !) please send confirmation of refund via my e-mail address. THANK YOU!

I wanted to check it out. I read the whole Page I was how much it cost. I tried to leave the page, when a pop-up said get this at a discount trial price $14.95. that seem O.K. so I entered my info, submitted it watched for the confirmation check-out page. I Got a purchase total of $60.00. I was shocked . I called within seconds and was told it was Non-refundable. I said it was a mistake. they said the purchases has been made and is non-refundable. I too tried the auction it's a scam. I bid and was out over and over. then I watched the same group of names bid over the value of the item. A gift card for $50 was being bid on over $5.00 plus. No body pays more for anything when your trying to get it for less. this is a terrible SCAM.

As i got done with my registration and checked the site i got a ring from my bank and when i checked my messages i found a charge for $159. For what? are we kidding with all the complaints they are still operating in these conditions.

I was checking my bank account out and noticed I had $159.00 taken out from this place. I never ordered anything from them. I pulled up this website and seen they are a scam. This is the phone number you can reach them by [protected]. They will feed you a bunch of bull, they only was going to give me 79.00 back. Then I threatened to call the BBB and they put me on hold got back on the phone and said they would refund all of it back. So we will see, the count down is on. I am still going to report them. This really makes me mad how people can just take money out of your account. They would not give me their address.

I do not know how the Government permit this company to scam the people; they sent me an offer for a tablet at US $65, 00, I was really an i#### at that time to believed that offer, they assure me I will get the tablet in a week, I sent the money (how stupid I was) and the week after I got an email thanking me for the 'purchase' of US$ 65, 00 in bet.
I answer them I do not want a bet, I need my money back, with so many letters back and forth with no sense what so ever I never got my money back.
I which they burn in Hell since they do so much damage to people and the Government do nothing to punish them.

Registration is free, folks. Zbiddy only charge when you purchase their bid package.

I've got burned by other penny auction webites but so far Zbiddy.com seems to be legit.

I am a lucky bidder at Zbiddy.

To win on penny auction site, one needs patience and a god strategy. I'd recommend you to first understand how they work and create your own strategy.

Zbiddy's support team can help you.

i have won several items at Zbiddy.

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.

Zbiddy never charges without customer's authorization.

Zbiddy can be trusted among other penny auction sites.

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.

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~

I bid on something using a credit card and I did not enter a bid amount or even know what I bid on. No confirmation email or price paid was given. I flash screen appeared and vanished immediately.

I will contact my credit card company and file a complaint with the Illinois Attorneys General Office. Do not use this site to bid on anything, It's a scam.

I perched two $5 Walmart e-gift-cards at zbiddy.com after bidding on them. So my bids paid for part and my visa payed the difference. I was told would receive them in my email inbox in 7-10 business days but did not. And just today i got e-mails from zbiddy.com telling me I received a refund of $ .50, $84, $1, $1. witch comes out to $3.34. -a refunded to my visa.
I called them up to see what this was about. And they told me i requested a refund. I did not! I asked they who in there right mind would ask for a refund of $3.34 for something worth $10. I knew they did not refund the money i spent on the bids so why would i do that? This logic did not work and now I have to wait even longer to see what will become of this. So much wasted time for nothing.

Hello,

This rats are ripping innocent people, please take them out of business.

DO NOT BUY ANY CAMERAS OR PHOTOGRAPHY PRODUCT FROM THEM...

PLEASE Pay more and be safe...

I saw an advertisement for bidding on items and as soon a s I went to the website and put my information in they automatically took $99.00 out of my bank account. I did not even get the options that they finally showed after the fact. I called the number next to my transaction and it put me into a recording for a call service with a choice of female or male conversation. I have the number right on my bank statement. Your welcome to call t0 verify my story. Then I finally called and talked to another gentleman from off of the website and he assured me that they were not connected to any type of phone service for that type of business. Well I decide that after emails and such I would give it a try and use my $99.00 and try to win a Kindle Fire. On there website they encourage you to bid on bids, so with that in mind I tried my luck with that and I would only win on bids which still have to be paid for even with small amounts it added up. Then two weeks ago I bid on a hotel card for $100.00 and won. I have not received anything via a voucher or through my email or regular mail. I have wrote to emails to the customer service and they respond with it takes 48 hour. Well nothing has materialized so I am very disappointed and yes I feel like I am definitely being scammed.

This company really needs to improve on there customer service as well as there website. I got charged $99.00 to my credit card when I registered. I thought I was only registering not buying some stupid bids.Then when I tried to call them and tell them I didn't want the account all they could say is that they can give my only half of my money back and the rest in gas cards. This site is such a rip off that know i have money floating in an account that I will never use.. What the hell is wrong with this company. Is this the way you conduct business and automatically charge people for bids that you should have warned people about. That should have been up there way before you even asked for the credit card information. I am out 100.00 that I couldn't afford to give out.

penny Auction you win nothing in fact the winner pays double the price and the losers just lose a bunch of money trying to winner, you pay any where from 37 to 60 cents depending on what kind of package you buy. you, big ticket items could be bid on for 2 days, at $.60 a bid so people bid something up to $260.00, that's $1440.00, then the person who won this item (, which usually cost $500 or $600 if you went to the store) has to pay the $260.00 plus delivery, how is he winning the item, and Zbiddy is making $1700.00 for a $600 item. So in my eyes it is a scam, now if the person who won didn't have to pay anything that would be winning. and zbiddy would still be making $840 for the things you know their not paying anywhere near what they say they are. There is no winning in zbiddy you pay to bid and pay when you win

I bought something for .01 and then there was a charge of $79.00. What is this? I have tried to contact Zbiddy and yet no response. I guess this is a scam. All charges must be returned except the 1 cent. Nothing has ever arrive at my residence The $79.00 should be returned and all connections to Zbiddy Montreal QCCA cancelled after return..I want to tell all people to beware of this company. What gives?

I looked at this sight and saw an I-pad. input my credit card, (very stupid) and should have been charged 59.00 but was charged 99.00. I called immediately to tell them to cancel and refund the 99.00 back. Did a big run a round with a guy named Matt. Told me he would give me an additional $100.00 in bidding bucks to use for restaurant cards. I never opened any of the email or logged into the account with Zbiddy. Called my cc company to dispute charges (Citi Card) and they did reverse the $99.00. But after 3 weeks notify me that I did use the services of Zbiddy.com they sent emails that showed my using the account. The only thing is the email had the recipient name blocked out and the email date was August of 2011! My first contact with Zbiddy.com was in July 2012. This is FRAUD and I feel an attorney might be interested in a class action lawsuit. What do you think?

I recieved an e-mail from these people and since I was looking for an apple computer I thought I would try the service. Wow thank goodness for all the people who took the time to file complaints..When I put my info from my credit card in they said it wouldn't work! So I entered another card .They tried charging both cards. I just spoke to the companies and had to cancel both cards to keep these thieves from my accounts. I say thank you again because of you I took care of this within 3 hours of giving them my information! I will be without my credit cards for a couple of weeks but it saved me alot of money I am sure! I really hope this company gets investigated and I will do my part by turning this into the Attorney Generals office and see what they can do..along with the Police who investigate fraud and theft via the computer systems.

Your post is now on a public forum, which means everyone has access to your credit card number. The complaint isn't going to whoever charged your card. I recommend you click on the "e-mail" link on the bottom of this page to have your post removed.

Maybe publicizing your credit card number is how you ended up with charges you don't remember authorizing.
