Unlike some of the other glowing comments written about dibzee’s auction site, I find it to be moderately easy to navigate but deceptively cunning when time for payment. Shipping costs are extravagant and their self proclaimed bidding for Bids is a joke. If you bid for Bids, which require nothing more than an electronic transfer, you are charged $1.99 for delivery fees. Delivery fees for what? It is no different than buying Bids isn’t it? I find this type of deceptive behavior outrageous, maddening and enough to recommend you try another auction site.

Gotta give another positive review for dibzees! I won a gift card for only a few bids – so there are definitely deals to be had out there. Yes, there are powerbidders out there – but it is all about patience, If you wait and watch you can get a good deal. There customer service is top notch and gift cards are sent quickly. Definitely a great site!

Fair bid limits. Love that there are beginner auctions. Customer support response time is amazing (within 1 hour on a Saturday). Need more items for auction. Love that there are no autobidders. Love that you can swap for amazon cards.

Dibzess is just ok in my book. The bid pricing is great but there are not many auctions and there are many bidders. They do have some nice items up for auction every now and then. I really liked their airline gift card auctions although I’ve not seen any in a while.

I have been on Dibzees for almost a year now. When I first started there were not too many bidders and winning an auction at a fairly reasonable price was not too hard to do. Now there are a lot more bidders and it is harder to win at the lower bidding range. There are several power bidders that do not stop. Dibzees has added auctions starting earlier, but only 1 per hour untill 6:00 P.M. I would not recommend Dibzees until they add more auctions. I have dealt with customer service a couple of times and was dealt with quickly and fairly.

I like that it shows where folks are from, makes me feel like it is more honest when I am bidding. I won on here with the PAC deal a while back, then burned up my bids on a fella who obviously had pretty deep pockets. I am fairly new to the PA world and don’t know all the power bidders yet, but it seems like folks get good deals on here! I have seen items go for pennies!
My won item was emailed to me within a day of my payment. Nice customer service. Thanks Dibzees.

This site was not for me. I did not like the timers and there are way to many power bidders. Maybe if they ran more auctions it would be a bit easier to win. I did have a problem which customer service was quick to respond to and they resolved it to my satisfaction.

I joined a while back, and got 3 bids to start with. Right after I registered, I found online a code “8FREEBIDS” to give me 8 bids instead of 3. I emailed them to see if I could get 8 instead of 3, and Robert basically said (based off of my memory) “Sorry, but no. You were too late.” So I just used the 3 bids and was done with it. The auctions seems to go for pennies, and there are a few power bidders, so be careful. They love claiming the auctions as their own as soon as the auction starts so you can’t have a chance. They offer noob auctions, so hopefully beginners should be ale to do well to start with. Best of luck!!

I have been bidding on this site for over a year now. It used to be very easy to win there, but they have grown a lot in the past few months and it is more of a challenge to win now.Customer service is the best. Emails are replied to immediately, wins are shipped within just a few days. The timers aren’t the best..I notice plenty of page freezing and lags. Many times I would have to bid “blindly” because I couldn’t tell if my bids were registering…but I got used to that.Still, overall, it is a really great site!

It was a push to give this site four stars, yet despite its faults I think it deserves some praise. For starters it seems legitimate and offers an array of mostly $25 gift cards. So a casual penny auction user is able to participate without too much hassle from power bidders (there here too, but not as much though as other sites). Auction gift cards can be exchanged for Amazon gift cards, which is good because why in the hell would someone care so much to bid on a Buffalo Wild Wings gift card. There are no shipping costs either so that is a good thing to go along with auction limits to keep the stable of power bidders in check.
The minuses have to do with a very dated website appearance to go with loading/lag times. I guess that is what ya get from a business from Iowa…Okay I’m only kidding on that one, I’m from the cornbelt too. Seriously, they are serious when stating you shouldn’t wait until the final second to place a bid as it often takes about a second and sometimes two seconds for a bid to register when placing one.
All in all a pretty decent site to do some petty auction bidding.

This is one of my top 10 sites to play on but it can get competitive. Best tip I can give for this site is to go all in if you want to win as most of the regular bidders will defend ‘their’ auctions to the end and go beyond retail so watch and learn who they are before bidding against them. Beginners auctions are the best way to start and easy to win. They have great cs and super shipping. One of the fastest and usually ships within 24 hrs. Only thing bad about them is the timer lag issue on the auction page itself so I always have 2 windows open when I bid there as I like to watch & see who’s bidding so I have the main one which seems to register the bids quicker and the detailed one up. It is getting harder I’ve noticed as seems like I’m breaking even lately after balancing out the ones I have to battle for going 2-4 times the retail but it’s one of the few sites I do that on.

if your a new bidder and like losing your money, then dibzees is for you. before bidding I would suggest to watch the site for 1 week. one good thing dibzees has is free shipping on the gift cards. I have won around 5 gift cards and all came within 1 week..with more bidders now, its very difficult to win…a few months ago i would of recommended this site but not today. too many bidders and not enought auctions running.

For the positives, they do have great auctions with great auctions. When there’s no power bidders around, there is a great competition with some auctions may end less than $1. Customer support is also very responsive with your questions and the best thing about Dibzees… for any gift card auction that you win, since all of their gift cards are $25 and above, you can trade them in for an Amazon gift card for equal value which is a major positive.
This site I do recommend, but you have to be on your toes with the bidding since there are no auto bidders.

I like this site a lot, they run several auctions per day, even though they are low end items and lots of bid packs. Their bid prices are great, IMO. Fairly easy to win here and you’ll have your win within a week or so. They also run a couple noob auctions per day. Study the ended auctions so you can watch out for THOSE bidders and get your bids in before the last second because you never know if it will go thru or not. I’ve seen some things end there lately for just a few bids. I’d recommend giving them a shot. Oh and they will trade any win for equal value in amazon money.

I like there look and everything although there customer service is iffy, because it is very hard to get a hold of them. The pricing on there bids could be better. Over all this site is pretty cool, just needs some work. They do have this anonymous bidders thing going on, so that no one is bullied, which is okay, but there could be some regular auctions. I would recommend this pa site, hope this was helpful

The site owners are extremely responsive to emails and wins are shipped in a timely manner. Bid prices are currently under 50 cents. The website is easy to navigate but the timers and bidding history have glitches. You need to bid from the main page versus the actual auction page. They currently run approximately 10 auctions a day. Most of the regular bidders on this site are experienced bidders.

This site has super fast shipping and good customer service. Bidding is not smooth at all, and it’s smart to keep two windows open (one of the main screen and one of the bidding screen) so you can see both who you’re bidding against and how much time is left.

I like there look and everything although there customer service is iffy, because it is very hard to get a hold of them. The pricing on there bids could be better. Over all this site is pretty cool, just needs some work. They do have this anonymous bidders thing going on, so that no one is bullied, which is okay, but there could be some regular auctions. I would recommend this pa site, hope this was helpful

3.7The site owners are extremely responsive to emails and wins are shipped in a timely manner. Bid prices are currently under 50 cents. The website is easy to navigate but the timers and bidding history have glitches. You need to bid from the main page versus the actual auction page. They currently run approximately 10 auctions a day. Most of the regular bidders on this site are experienced bidders.

4.4This site has super fast shipping and good customer service. Bidding is not smooth at all, and it’s smart to keep two windows open (one of the main screen and one of the bidding screen) so you can see both who you’re bidding against and how much time is left.
