Most auction practices, whether live on or online such as Ebay is when you bid and you don't win, you are in no way obligated.


For www.haggle.com, they give you one credit, with an impulse sense that the time is ending soon.  Then you purchase more credits at blocks, the lowest, $15.  When you don't win, you lost all the credits on the bids you did not win.


Unlike ebay, if you don't win, you are not obligated or lost money, with www.haggle.com, it is poor business practice and bad taste.  When I disputed with merchant, they give you canned response to go their FAQ page.


The point is, it is bad and poor taste of business practice of www.haggle.com.

Haggle.com competitive shopping

AUTHOR: HLC - (United States of America)

POSTED: Monday, April 05, 2010

I work for Haggle, which is owned by Infospace.com, a public company regulated by the SEC.



Haggle.com is a competitive shopping site, also known as a penny auction site.  Bids are paid up front, and it costs money to bid, which is why the prices can often be much lower than Ebay.  



We work very hard to describe clearly how all of it works up front, before anyone spends any money.  Please see our FAQ and How it Works pages before bidding.  We give one free bid and we require people to agree that they have read these pages prior to bidding - our intent is to provide a fun way to compete for deals for those who enjoy it and, for those who don't, to provide information up front so that they can shop elsewhere:





We also have a vibrant community that shares tips and strategies:




The competitive shopping at Haggle.com is not for everyone.  Just like some people enjoy camping out for Black Friday sales after Thanksgiving, some people enjoy Haggle tremendously.
