They advertise on tv that you can go on the internet to a bidding site and win bids of one cent increments. They don't tell you they have charged you $60 just to login and they don't tell you you are charged 60 cents with every one cent incremental bid you make whether you win the bid or not.
I have a masters degree as a tax law CPA so I can read and I rarely get this completely ripped off. This is nothing more than a scam. An interstate operation that needs to be investigated by the feds. How they have gotten away with it so long is uncomprendable to me.

I am with QuiBids customer support. I would like to address some of your concerns here. First off, QuiBids is a pay to play auction model. We do not attempt to hide this information, but have provided it in several places on our website including the QuiBids 101 section that details our auction model. In this section we explain why bids are purchased and invested in auctions and how, if you are not the winner you can exercise the 'Buy Now' option and purchase the item out-right minus the value of the bids invested in that auction.
The Buy Now feature offers you the chance to purchase any product at any time during the auction and for up to 2 hours after the auction ends. Any real bids (aka Bid Pack bids) you place on an auction will be discounted off the Value Price*. Please note: Voucher Bids will not be used to discount the Buy Now Price.
Below is an example of how your discount Buy Now price is calculated:
Value Price: $100.00
Discount: Real Bids Placed x Bid Price: 100 x $0.60 = $60.00
Buy Now Price: $100 - $60 = $40.00 + Shipping/Taxes (if applicable)
No one has to walk away empty-handed. It is entirely up to the participant whether he or she will use the value of bids spent on an auction as a rebate to the purchase price. The worst case scenario should be someone walking away from the site with an item at the value price, which is typically a good internet price. QuiBids Buy Now feature eliminates the potential for loss.
I hope this helps provide some clarification of the matter!
