Could be sooo much better
April 27, 2024

I suspect a LOT of shill bidding…my own suspicion, based on my own experiences. Not cool.
Website doesn't allow me to make address changes because the email on it, that I've used for years, isn't "valid". It is.
My watch list recently disappeared. After years of using, it's gone.? And there's been no reply from CS to help. It's frustrating, to say the least.

Not only do I work for a large auction house, but this was my first time using this platform. I use many auction houses. I have never been charged without an invoice presented to me. I have yet to receive a invoice but I have been charged. Can someone please supply me with an invoice?

Saving time, money and energy
April 26, 2024

I use HiBid all the tie to search online auctions within 50 miles of home. It makes it so much easier to scan several auctioneers' for bargains and treasure without having to go to each auctioneer's site I like knowing within minutes of an auction ending if I've won items or not. And I can do all of this from the comfort of home, although I'm sure it will work on one of those "magic phones" if you have one. I prefer my 'puter with its larger screen.

Mixed
April 26, 2024

Purchased 2 items without issue. Attempted to participate in a lot today and bids weren't accepted. Only notice was that my bids were "pending approval by the auctioneer" even though I had an email confirming registration (for reference the item was a set of Kia Sportage EX car mats). Approval was never received nor a reason provided.

We apologize for the delayed response, David, and understand your frustration. Sometimes bids can go into a pending status, and in those cases, the auctioneer must approve them before they are finalized. If you haven't received approval or communication, we recommend reaching out directly to the auctioneer for clarification. If you need assistance contacting the seller or have any other questions, please feel free to contact our support team at 844-775-4774. We appreciate your feedback and hope to improve your experience in the future.
