Quibids Quibids.com Complete scam, plays on gullible people with e-Bay themed slot machine Internet

It sounds as if there is some confusion. We are not an eBay kind of auction site. We are an online auction site that simply works off a 'pay to participate' business model. Each bid costs $0.60 and you purchase those bids in bid packs. After purchase, they are put into your Bids Account and you are then able to participate in any auction you want. Each time you click the Bid button, you have placed a bid and it costs you $0.60. We thoroughly explain our business model on our site, in the QuiBids101 section and of course in our Terms & Conditions.

Let's say you purchase a $60 bid pack and decide you don't want to participate. As long as you haven't spent any bids, you are able to get your $60 refunded. All unused bids are 100% refundable. Any spent bids, are not.

If you're in an auction where there is nobody else, you can bid once to put in your bid, but then don't bid anymore. If no one else enters the auction, you will get that item more than likely for one cent. If you do place another bid, it would be wasteful.

All auctions on our site are customer driven. We have multiple features and warnings implemented on our site to help our customers. One in particular is the Buy it Now that allows you to purchase a product at retail minus the cost of bids you put into that auction. One of the warnings we have is a pop-up telling users if they are close to bidding to the retail price and notifying them to utilize Buy it Now. Our Bid-o-Matic feature is one that gives customers the opportunity to bid even if they're not in the room. It autobids for them based on their own set limits.

If you have any concerns, confusion or would like a better explanation of our site, feel free to call us or email into our support.

The come on for this site deliberately leads you to believe that it is an aution.  The hairs splitted by the previous rebuttal between auction and gambling is nitpicking.  This site counts on misleading the amatuer.

I fell for their fraud and paid my $60 for the bids not really understanding what that meant.  However, I figured out during the first two minutes that the speed of the bids was eating up my money before I had a chance to know what was happening and decided to get out.

There is a way to cancel your membership which I did as quickly as I could assuming that most of my $60 would be refuned.  I was wrong.

When the refund didn't show up in my bank account by the next day I sent an email to their address notify@quibids.com requesting the refund.  I received a nicely worded reply right away from Brianna promising a prompt refund.

That was two days ago and I have not received any money.  DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE ANY MONEY UNLESS YOU WANT TO GAMBLE IT AWAY IN MINUTES.

..your report sounds like you have been on a gambling site that "implied", it was a legit auction, such as eBay.

"Going", "going", "gone"... is fine in a legit auction...as long as anyone who did not win the auction, does not notice a charge appear on their account regarding the loss of the auction.

So, either this website is "gambling", or an auction. Unless there is a "third" term to call a website that is not really an auction...but "kind of"...and is like any other gambling site or casino..depending on as many to LOSE as possible in order for the 'house" to profit...and on as well, in hopes that some fools become "addicted" (sound like gambling yet?), and HENCE... they can rake in the dough at a break neck pace?
