This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

Ok so I've read a lot of zbiddy complaints.

Yes this website is a scam you have to put money down before you can join. But for all of you who have been scammed by them you obviously didn't read the whole page.

When you are asked to give your billing information it says just above it that the total package charge was $159!
I'm sorry if you feel ripped off but when your entering any new website where you might have to pay for something those that are legit will not ask for your billing information until you have won a bid or selected an item.

I don't mean to be harsh but I am only 19 years old and your trying to tell me that a bunch of middle aged people who should know better than me got ripped off because they didn't read the whole damn page?!

Buyer beware things are not always what they seem read everything before handing out your information!

Sincerely,
Brianna

A bid package is non-refundable. It is mention on their Terms & Condition page.

ive bid before but ZBIDDY is a REAL SCAM .. FRAUD. they even have their workers on this site making up things so you'll do it again. AND ZBIDDY WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY. report them to the BBB In your state. save your bank statement for proof.

Try to understand how a penny auction model works rather than blaming a legit site like Zbiddy. Zbiddy.com is much better than the other penny auction websites

Hey David! First try to understand the penny auction model and then jump into bidding.
The model works like this: You buy a bid pack, then bid on the product you want. If you're the last person to bid, you win the item. There's some strategy to it, sites like zbiddy can really pay off. I've won several auctions and paid significantly less than retail each time.

IF ANY SITE ASKS FOR YOUR CREDIT CARD INFO, please expect to be charged. Very few companies will refrain from charging until after the trial period is over, or whatever. Most will charge you first then make you do the work to get the money back.
NO COMPANY NEEDS your credit card for a simple registration. They may ask for your billing info is you sign up for a trial, but the honest ones will let you cancel without any charges. MOST internet sites will charge you first, then let you try to get rid of the charges.
It is unfortunate, but a remnant of the internet from the early days of porno rip-off sites.
BE CAREFUL! Never give your credit card info on the internet unless you know someone else who has used the site and not been ripped off!

I was referred to this site by another site. i guess like most people, i wasn't really paying attention to why i was putting int my credit card info but it also said nothing about paying for bids. This site is VERY deceptive and misleading. When I called to ask for my money back they were semi nice about it. they tried to offer my $5oo dollars in grocery coupons and $100 from restaurants.com and then said that i was sure to win but if i didn't then they would replenish the 250 bids for absolutely free. i wasn't biting so i told them that that would not be useful and that i just wanted my money back. he said that he talked to the billing department and they authorized him to give me back $75.00 which would appear in my account in 3-5 business days. and they were still giving me 100 dollars from restaurant.com. They did refund my money but i still wouldn't suggest this site. the auctions are like never ending and unless you are sitting in front of the computer for about 12 hours looking at the auction you are almost sure not to win. and the restaurants on the website are totally crappy and were mainly like fast food like taco joints... go figure. The next day upon trying to log on..i could not and they kept saying that they sent an email to my account...hogwash. furthermore it seems mighty suspicious that after using this site my credit card information was stolen and used in an entirely different state. hmmm...you be the judge! Beware

You would have hit some button that confirmed your authorization, else Zbiddy never charges without authorization.

rockyrobinson111 is not a real customer, he is a front for zbiddy. Check out rockyrobinson111's comments, it says he is from India without any other information about himself. Oh yes, zbiddy customer service ( CALL CENTER ) is located in India.
This company walks the fence with your information and business practice.
STAY AWAY!

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.
