HiBid Reviews 3,465

Well I've bid on several of your auctions. I've really enjoyed using your site. The only problem I've had is the payment not going through on my card, but I'm pretty sure that the problem is on my banks end, not on y'all's. The website is great, it's easy to use, very user friendly. The only reasons I only gave you 4 stars is some of the auction company's could take better pictures of the items being listed. Instead of the picture being half of one lot and half of a another lot. The other reason is that the notifications on things I've bid on/watching go to my email, not my phone number. I rarely check my email.

I bid and won lot 422a in
auction sale 869 liquidation 225 Wednesday April 29
I won a shower head. I tore mine out.
I drove over an hour from my house to pick up in Woodstock Ontario.
When I get there he says “ oh I can’t find it”
Really !?
this seems really unorganized and is very inconvenient for me. (Not to mention the price of gas)I have been a regular but this is rediculous. How could it disappear ? Did Someone who works there just thought they would move it ? I don’t understand, I was looking forward to this item.
Should I call first and ask if they have the item I won before driving up there?
So very disappointed.

Too confusing when the item goes to live bid. Can't keep watching other items and the items jump.places

I like bidding sitting in my recliner kicked back. The only problem I had was that the items I was interested in and was bidding on were close together, and I had trouble keeping up with all the items I wanted to bid on. I missed a couple of bids, and items. I might not have gotten them anyway. But I do enjoy the auctions.

It has been a good experience so far, the soft close auctions are a bit tricky of course but this feels different than Ebay. You see when the auctions are ending, so it feels a little more intense when the timer is counting down. But I think I've got some good deals so far, we'll see when I get this stuff in the mail. I REALLY wish though shipping was included in our bids, like Ebay.

I've used HiBid for years. Great platform.

Bidding on these live auction items create some great deals and a very simple process.

My first time bidding on anything! It was fun and I was able to get at least 1 item I bid on. Thank you for a fun and smooth transaction.

Easy to bid and easy to complete the process .

The ones that are only charging 15 percent buyers fee, is ok and understandable. but some of them charge that plus 2 dollars per item that is just unreasonable, unless you can win the item at very low cost.. but if you win 15 items even small, now on top of tax, buyers fee, you are getting charged additional fee of 30 dollars for those items. just doesnt seem right... To much tacked on

The bidding process was very good - smooth, no issues or errors. Trying to obtain a list of items by Category is a challenge. Two reasons: 1. the system doesn't "hold" the Location I select. It goes back to the default (ALL) on a page change. (Should be in Profile) 2. Recent searches by Category return Auctions, Items outside the Category, even All items for an Auction in some cases! Both of these issues are a pain, takes more time to find items, reduces bidding, sales/revenue for Auctions.

Sometimes the connection is lost going to live bidding when the time for closing is near. Missed out on couple items that way.

Hibid allows its sellers to charge Absolutely Absurd shipping costs. I ship all over the US and i know the rates. They tack on so much more it should be a crime. A way for them to make more money! Stay away at all costs!

LiveAuctionWorld works much better with real-time text messages of bidding updates during auction close. Its just not practical for me to sit and watch the HiBid site online for the hours each auction takes.

It was pretty easy to find what I wanted, and keeping an eye on things was easy with the watchlist.

The only problem I had was after I won stuff. I couldn’t figure out how to look at an invoice, or at least a list of items I’d won.

Didnt get email notifications until about 12 HOURS after the end of the aution..Not sure what the point is by then.

Some auctioneers set the soft close time to more than 4 minutes, which wastes my time. I hope you can set the soft close time to one minute. Some auctioneers have set my bidding limit to 1,000 USD. Given my many years of a 100% payment record, I am very dissatisfied with this.

The site is easy to navigate and informative. Vendors are helpful if you have questions and most times can be reached with a quick call or email reply.

Bidding process was very easy. Prices good and pick up of items won was also very quick and easy. People assisting in the pickup were extremely helpful!
