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
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
My credit card was also charged $45.00 without my authorization. We really need to research these kind online auction companies before committing to anything. Too many unsuspecting customers are getting ripped off.
Well, I got my answer.. DON'T bid with ZBIDDY.. So sorry for the trouble they caused you and your family. We are all trying to keep things together and then these wanna get rich mutants screw everything up. Good luck to you and the others. Thanks for helping me and others stay away from this place. Best Regards, Lini
Zbiddy rocks! I won an iphone and got it shipped.
Even, I had to entered my details at Zbiddy. But they never charged me as it is mentioned above. I still laugh when I see that I won a bid pack for 9 cents.
Zbiddy is a good site, david. I won couple of items on this website and got them shipped
I never stuck with such situation on zbiddy but I'll keep an eye on. You must always take a screen shot for such issue for evidence. Else we can't beleive if anyone is saying truth. As far as my experience is concerned, Zbiddy is a nice site.
Collusion policy is being used by many penny auction site to prevent unappropriate winners of an item and to provide chance of winning to other users. Well one is assured that one can win on this site and they do not use bots. Zbiddy has updates about this policy on their terms and condition page. You must read T&C page of any site before you start using their services
I don't think that without authorization they will charge your account. Get your card blocked.
I am sorry to hear about your husband losing his job. In beginning, I too lost 2 bid packages when I won my first item. I contact the customer support department for a refund and there was a guy who explain my why they can't refund. Many users try their luck and when they lose the auction they tend to get refunds but if they win they never come back and ask to cancel the transaction and don't send the item. To maintain the balance of bidding they don't refund unless there is any genuine reason.
Zbiddy is great site and one must first understand how a penny auction site works and then go ahead with bidding on such site else you will land up upset and annoyed like Brianna.
I'd suggest contact your credit card company and block your card for such unauthorized charges. I purchased about 16 bid packages but they never charges my account with out my authorization.
Debra, penny auction sites work in the same way and thus the are also called as reverse auction site. Almost every experienced bidder try to bid when the clock is about to end and no one knows how many bidders are there. Thus, the bidding can go way past from the actual cost of the product.
David, I don't think they have any bot on their payment page. You must have clicked the button and thus the payment has went through. Zbiddy is a nice site and I won couple of products and got them shipped.
Zbiddy is a great site and I won couple of items and got them shipped. You need patience and strategy to win.

It has nothing to do with how many things you win.
They monitor the IP address of the computer line you use every time you log in and bid.
If your friend is logged in to his account using YOUR computer line (wi-fi, etc, ) and is bidding on the same items YOU are bidding on with YOUR own computer sharing the same computer line, they consider that "Colusion".
If your friend logs in with his own computer at his own house there will not be a problem.
While I was registering it automatically charged $60 to my credit card. They do not respond when calling the "888" number. This is a complete rip off.
