Is QuiBids a Scam? Definitely Not

Heard QuiQids is a Scam? | Unfounded Rumors

January 5, 2015/in Penny Auction News, Quibids /by Bid-Ninja

Heard QuiBids is a Scam?

Are you a fan of online auctions? Have you ever wanted to sell your unwanted items in an easy way to make a little extra cash? Or maybe you’ve wanted to buy something rare for less money than you’d pay retail? No matter what the motivation is, online auctions have a distinct advantage in this area. You can watch auctions or bid immediately, making it easy to buy or sell your favorite products in an instant.

What is Quibids.com?

Is Quibids a Scam? Definitely NotOne of the most popular online auction sites is Quibids.com. Using QuiBids as your auction site, you can check bids in real time to see what catches your interest. The QuiBids model is simple: When you log on and place a bid, the site adds 10-20 seconds to the auction timer to give someone else the the chance to to bid on the item for sale. This continues until the maximum bid reaches zero seconds on the timer, and the item is awarded to the top bidder.

This model is much more interactive than other online auction sites and is often cited as reminiscent of the “going once, going twice, sold!” approach of traditional auctions. With such an exciting interface and fast-paced approach, you may be surprised to year that there is talk of quibids.com being a scam site. However, there are many benefits to using an online auction site like Quibids.com, which we’ll outline in this article. This should offer plenty of proof that the QuiBids scam is a lie – you can enjoy bidding in a safe environment with confidence.

The QuiBids Model

Part of the reason that people are apt to think that the Quibids scam is real is that their auctions work differently than auctions do on sites like eBay. Because Quibids strives to bring that real auction feel to online bidding, some features of the site may seem a little off at first glance. First of all, before you start bidding, you must sign up. Then you must purchase bids. Each bid costs only $0.60. Then, when you find an auction you’d like to place a bid on, Quibids deducts one bidding credit from your account and adds time to the clock to allow other bidders a chance.

You also have the option to buy out the item that is up for auction, similar to other online auction sites. The difference with Quibids.com is that even if you don’t win the auction, you can still choose to buy the product at a discount with this feature. You will never, ever have to pay more than retail price for any of the products listed on the Quibids site. However, you must note that not everyone will win the auction at a huge discount. Sometimes, you just get the product for a few dollars under retail – but even then, you still save a few dollars!

Why Does QuiBids Cost Money in the First Place?

Many people find it odd that QuiBids charges money before you can begin bidding, which leads them to think that QuiBids is a scam. However, this is only because the site needs a placeholder for the funds. Think about it: If you bid on an item but never intend to pay it, you waste everyone’s time. The seller will be furious that they waited for their item to sell for nothing and will have to relist it; the site loses money hosting an auction that will never be paid for; and you lose out on getting your item if someone else wins and never pays.

By having their customers purchase bids, Quibids can ensure that real cash backs the auctions. This way, everyone gets their payment or item without hassle. It’s easy to think that if you lose an auction, the site has just stolen your money. In fact, with your option to “buy now” at less than retail value, you can still receive the item at a discount using your existing bid plus paying the difference. Either way, you end up with the item you want for less than you’d pay in a store. You can even spend money on bid vouchers to keep bids lined up for when you’re away from the computer. Using their automated queue for bids, you can autobid even when you’re not around! So as you can see, there’s no way you can think that this aspect of Quibids is a scam once you understand how it works.

Should You Sign up at quibids.com?

QuiBids can be addictive. It’s fun, fast-paced, and offers you a chance to buy things for less than retail price. Because it imitates the high-energy setting of a real auction, it requires a slightly different business model. This business model is based on pre-paid bids, but that doesn’t mean that QuiBids.com is a scam. All it means is that you have bids that you can spend anywhere on the site for a chance at winning an item at less than retail value. If you win the item when the timer reaches zero, you’ll see that you’ve paid only pennies on the dollar for your item. If you lose the bid and choose the “buy now” option, you can still compare prices with online retailers to see if you’re paying less than you would in a store – and there’s a good chance you are.

It can be difficult to win an auction on QuiBids.com because of the sheer number of users eager to find great deals. By utilizing a few tips and tricks (which QuiBids details on their site) you can greatly improve your chances of winning the auctions you have your eye on. Bidding can be fun, and it most certainly is not impossible to win an item if you play your cards right. So if you’re interested in a fun, fast-paced online auction site, give quibids.com a try. Many people have found great deals using the site and feel that their time and money was well spent. If you give QuiBids.com a chance, you might just be one of them, too!

Latest QuiBids Promo Code to Brighten Up Your Monday

September 15, 2014/in Penny Auction News, QuBids Free Bids, Quibids Promo Codes /by Bid-Ninja

Here is the picture they used in the email:

Picture of QuiBids Promo Code for the Month of September

UPDATE: Not long after we sent out an email to our users notifying them of this new blog post, QuiBids resolved the error on their end BUT…they didn’t remove the misspelled code, so now you can actually use BOTH CODES!! Read below to fully understand.

QuiBids has released another coupon code allowing you to snag some more free bids and brighten up your Monday afternoon! QuiBids sent out an email saying the promo code was “MONBID9” but that code doesn’t actually work!! Somebody made a typo…the REAL code is “MONBIDS9” (note the additions of the “s” at the end of the word “bid”).

UPDATE: As we said above, the code they sent out didn’t originally work, but it does now…but so does the other code! That means you can use both the regular & misspelled code and instead of only getting 5 free bids, you can actually get yourself 10!! Better act fast, they’ll probably get this fixed soon enough!

This latest quibids code gets you five totally free bids to use on whatever you’d like (provided you’ve purchased at least one bid pack at some point in the past), but you’d better act fast because it expires on September 22nd!  To redeem it, log into your QuiBids account and then visit your “redeem coupon page” here The code this time is:

MONBIDS9

But don’t forget to ALSO USE this code:

MONBID9

Your Direct Line of Communication to the Owners, Developers & Staff at Bid-Ninja.com is Here!

September 8, 2014/in Bid-Ninja News, Penny Auction News /by Bid-Ninja

We’re excited to announce that you now have a “direct line” of communication to the Development Team, Staff & Owners of Bid-Ninja!  (video demonstration below)

We want to make absolutely sure that every user has an excellent experience using Bid-Ninja. The thing is that we know that when you’re playing in an auction, that it isn’t always possible to “step away from the action” to report a problem…which means that some problems either go unreported, or reported later after relevant information has been forgotten.

So what we’ve done to make sure that any & all wrinkles (if any) are ironed out, is incorporated this new “trouble report” button within the Bid-Ninja software.

It allows you to report a problem without even having to leave the auction you’re playing in! In addition, it provides to us the valuable information we need about the auction you’re in, like a link to it, your browser type, your username and so on.

So we hope you utilize this new feature to make sure that you have a 100% positive experience while using Bid-Ninja to win more auctions!  Check out the video below to see how you can utilize this new feature:

April 2, 2014/in Beezid, Bid-Ninja News, DealDash, Penny Auction News, Quibids /by Bid-Ninja

Get On the QuiBids/DealDash/Beezid Non-Compete List

We here at the offices of Bid-Ninja frequently roll out new updates to the Bid-Ninja software.  We do this so often in fact, that we’re almost constantly having to actually use our software “in real time” on real QuiBids auctions, DealDash auctions and Beezid auctions.

Sometimes we only have to place a bid or two, but sometimes we have to actually “play to win” to ensure our software is working as it is supposed to.  Other times we won’t actually be in front of our computers, but have rather just setup the Bid-Ninja AutoBidder to place a few hundred bids on an auction with specific parameters.

Well We Want to Make Sure We’re Not Competing with You

Are you on the Bid-Ninja Non-Compete Agreement list yet?We appreciate our customers, and we want to make sure that we don’t accidentally screw up your strategy (and more importantly, we don’t want to be playing against our customers).  So what we’ve done is setup a “Non-Compete” function within your member profile.  To add yourself to the Bid-Ninja Non-Compete list, all you have to do is open up your Member Profile here.

Once you’ve got it open, you’ll see there are 3 fields at the bottom of your profile page:

  • QuiBids Username
  • DealDash Username
  • Beezid Username

Just enter your usernames (or just the ones of the sites you play on) within those fields and click the “update” button.  If you’re a Bid-Ninja customer and you’ve entered that information on your profile, when we’re BETA testing new feature rollouts (or just playing for fun), we’ll always make sure that we’re not playing against you, our valued customer!

So go ahead and get yourself on the list and then sign up to be a full fledged Bid-Ninja (if you’re not already)!
