Lots of them. And you may lose them all. It can be very frustrating. Only the strong survive. Most people that stick with it will win something, and many times at a good price. So that's the risk.. Now, all that being said Update: All items delivered. The Samsung TV arrived right away, and the delayed Apple products have been delivered! Not only that, I received an even newer model iPad - the iPad Air - than the earlier model listed at time of auction : 4 There is no problem as previously reported - It was resolved.
All items have been delivered. As others had indicated; they had not as of yet shipped out Apple products going back to this past summer. I, too, had been put off exactly as previously described and awaiting resolution. They are still auctioning off Apple products as I write this review. This has been resolved satisfactorily. Additionally, I was just yesterday the winner of a Samsung TV, which I hope to receive within a couple of weeks time at the latest.
I'll report back on this, as well. Obviously, if it's not resolved satisfactorily, or the TV doesn't arrive, I will rate the company down, accordingly. I've used a number of penny auction sites, including zbiddy. The model works like this: You buy a bid pack, then bid on the product you want. If you're the last person to bid, you win the item. The reason you get a discount is because other people are bidding too, so multiple people are investing in the product.
There's some strategy to it, but that's what makes it fun. If you're willing to be patient and learn the ropes, sites like zbiddy can really pay off. I've won several auctions and paid significantly less than retail each time. I doubt I'll ever see my money again, but this place is totally fraudulent and a complete rip off! Everything everyone has said in their reviews happened to me; wasted time on the phone, lies, misleading advertising.
We can report them to the Department of Consumer Fraud and several others! Please contact me about finding an attorney that will take this case-class action on contingency! My name is Vanessa L [email protected]. I feel like this is a total bait and switch and I want my money returned. As it stands they have no return policy so I am contacting my credit card company today! The website appears functioning though there have been no auctions since early February. Live chat doesn't work and they have not returned emailed to get auction codes on items won since September of I get from some of these reviews that it takes time and patience to win.
Unfortunately, I have neither. So my goal it to spend all of my bids and get off this site. What I don't understand is how they can charge me shipping and handling for bids I've one.
That is ridiculous to me. Is it even legal? I have been trying for over a year to win anything worthwhile on this site. Now it seems the only thing available to bid on is pure junk. They have quit auctioning all but a few gift cards except a few 5 or 10 dollar amt. When you get done bidding on them and pay your delivery charge you are sure to lose money. This site truly is a joke!
Not a real fan of penny auction sites. Seems they work great for some, not for most. I happily paid for my deals, went to redeem them and realized why they were so easy to win. There's like a million different black-out dates, restrictions and time restraints. For hotel discounts, you have to book at least 4 consecutive nights. Now, I'm on a budget and don't travel often.
When I do, it's not for long periods of time. I try to get the best deals on airfare and I certainly try to avoid the most expensive nights to stay in a hotel.
I thought winning these vouchers would be a great way to do so. It was a complete waste of my time and money bidding on these. What a bummer!
The biggest SCAM! I didn't have a clue I'm so upset! These people are nothing but thieves! When you do a live chat with them its a pack of lies Their time is coming, they are a bunch of losers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My experience is that they are very very slow in delivering products that have been won. With that being said, auctions could be won at reasonable prices if you are patient and watch long enough to understand when and at what prices other bidders get bored and go away.
Here are some other tricks that I found that address some of the concerns that others have. When I signed up, I didn't give them my credit card information because I didn't trust them. I exited at the point that they were asking for my credit card. I didn't give them any credit card information until after I had won an auction.
There is a Spin The Wheel page where you can win up to 10 free bids a day by spinning a roulette type wheel. You can only do this once in any 24 hour period. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.

I must have been that one in a million bidders that won alot of stuff off of zbiddy and received everything i won.
Ive always called them up and got good service, maybe i was the lucky one, but there is one thing i think that happens and that is i think they have people or bots bidding to jack up the price. Also every penny auction tells you up front that when you bid if you lose the auction you lose your bids.
I hope everyone gets there money back and remember dont give anyone a credit card to just look at a site. Good Luck. Are they still in business?? I haven't been able to get any response from them and want to know if they are doing anything about the bids I was left with when they just disappeared, leaving the message that the site was being updated. I was also one of the people that won gift cards to ebooks and they were never redeemable.
This is scam business. Go away. I recieved the code to redeem the item, but it stated the code was invald,I contact Zbiddy , which gave me athe same code again which I tried again but the same thing came up, as it was invald.
I have contacted Zbiddy by Live Chat on several occasion , where I have been told that they could not find me in their files, when I sent them the copy of the site of the item I won, they stated they would look into the problem and get back to me in a day or two, never got back to me ,I contacted them several time same code or we will look into the matter, or can not find your information.
I will seek the matter in court. The reason you get a discount is because other people are bidding too, so multiple people are investing in the product. There's some strategy to it, but that's what makes it fun. If you're willing to be patient and learn the ropes, sites like zbiddy can really pay off. I've won several auctions and paid significantly less than retail each time.
ZBiddy is definitely a scam site. Go to EBay instead. And good luck disputing any charges from your credit card from ZBiddy. So I end up closing my account for lack of support. Funny though, Best Buy keep sending me a new card. They just don't get it, lack of common sense. I can't believe zbiddy. I would be ashamed just working there and not notifying the consumer of the ongoing fraud.
Read the terms and conditions. Know what you are authorizing or not, and Understand what these bidding sites actually are; they are highly competitive, not easy to win, almost gambling, game sites. It's entertainment. It's a lottery. You compete to win a prize. And next, about the prizes Ranging from gift cards worth from 25 up to dollars each of gas cards, retail store cards, restaurant cards, Starbucks cards, airline cards.
I have received many items, to include a Dyson DC41 Vacuum cleaner, an assortment of headphones, a couple of computer accessories including two excellent monitors and other items. I have won, but not received, both an Apple iPad and iPod. I "won" all these items though hard work; spending hours at the computer, analyzing, developing techniques, timing, and luck.
It really is a competition. As in all competitions, there are many losers. To win at all, to participate, you must buy bids. Lots of them. And you may lose them all. It can be very frustrating. Only the strong survive. Most people that stick with it will win something, and many times at a good price.

As far as penny auctions go this one is pretty good. Would like to see more bid package options and more apple products. Overall great site though. App for collecting money by offering nothing. When you purchase you get Nothing and no way of recouping your Money. When you call customer service You have the honor of speaking to Someone who speaks broken English if your fortunate.
They claim they will Return your money-don't hold your breath. Still waiting after 2 years. Shame on me. Are they out of business? I get from some of these reviews that it takes time and patience to win. Unfortunately, I have neither. So my goal it to spend all of my bids and get off this site.
What I don't understand is how they can charge me shipping and handling for bids I've one. That is ridiculous to me. Is it even legal?

You can only do this once in any 24 hour period. The trick is to click on "spin" and if it isn't going to land where you want it, just click any other link prior to the wheel stopping and you can go back and try again.
I retry until I get 9 or 10 bids each time. I have won some good items that have been delivered, but there are some auctions that I won back in December that have still not been delivered and the selection of new auctions has recently dropped to almost nothing.
Looks to me like the site is shutting down and I probably won't get the last items that I won. Am glad more people agreed that this site is fraud. Just in case I saved most of my chats conversation with them, all their promise and fail. They are total fraud even though at the initial time they were okay and later all the things i won including ipod never received them and some that i received didn't work, they even gave me an empty usb card reader.
I left more than one thousand bids for them when I noticed they were playing games and more over nothing good to bid for from them. Tip for consumers: Do not even try them plssssssssssssssssssssss.
I doubt I'll ever see my money again, but this place is totally fraudulent and a complete rip off! I feel like this is a total bait and switch and I want my money returned.
