I wanted to see what they were offering but can't

scam they're selling you bids not items even when you lose the auction you pay and you have to pay 35 to get the "free" 50 credit. if its free why do I have to buy bids first and if bids only go up a penny why are they selling me 13 cent bids. commercials are definitely false advertising someone needs to sue them for this highway robbery they're committing.
★★★★ cory aumen 6/27/2026
what the dont tell you in the commercials is that you dont just come in here and start bidding on things and buy like ebay or something. No, you have to buy bids to bid on the products and then pay for the products as well. Your better off on ebay or Facebook marketplace to find and buy things properly..
★★★★ DemonicWolfKing 6/26/2026
False advertising! Do not trust! Was told in advertisement I would receive $50 credit just to learn that it's a $50 dollars off of a bid pack while trying to sign up! Personally didnt make it past them asking for the credit card information because I personally felt lied to! Note for Devs: if you're going to advertise $50 credit let it be just that!
★★★★ Connie Kendall 6/26/2026 v7.9.7
I have been bidding on items since September of 2025 and I have not won an auction yet, and recently I did not receive a refund of my original bids.
★★★★ rich Chatfield 6/25/2026
pass.
★★★★ Chris smith 6/24/2026 v7.8.3
says you get 50$ for signing up instead gives 50$ off an 89$ purchase of bids false advertising

★★★★ Kyle Wadford 6/20/2026
(((( BOTS DRIVING UP THE PRICE ON ALL BIDS STAY AWAY FROM THESE APPS ITS A SCAM TO TO DRIVE UP THE ITEM PRICES SO YOU WILL PAY MORE MONEY. )))
★★★★ Greg Roberts 6/19/2026
What kind of bidding site charges you per bid. I am calling it what it is a scam.
★★★★ shelby williams 6/19/2026

★★★★ mike shimomura 6/19/2026 v7.8.3
This app seems super shady. First of all, it looks like there's an "instant win" option, but the price for that is double or close to triple the retail price. Second, you need to spend money to buy extra chances to place bids. If someone outbids you, well... you just threw your money away. This leads to the final point. It feels like there are bots on the app always outbidding just to drive up the price, making people waste their money.
★★★★ Derek Small 6/18/2026 v7.8.1

★★★★ Aaron Fodge 6/18/2026

★★★★ Six nine 6/17/2026
I just open app to see what was about to see if I liked it and it cost me $30.00. I have bought anything. They got the 30 but it cost them in the long run my wife and me spend lots of money on sites similar to this. But im not using this site again. I should have looked at the ratings first. I see this has happened many times. Dont think its an accident that nothing has changed. Probably a real app but if you feel like you must use it be very careful. im afraid to go back on it.
★★★★ Angelia Carmack 6/16/2026 v7.7.4
spent $70 on bids didn't win anything it's a scam don't waste your money!!
★★★★ Jeffrey Tuttle 6/15/2026 v7.8.1
This is the craziest "legal" scam I've seen. It is absolutely gambling, so occasionally some get lucky but almost half the auctions are for an elaborate scam called Bid Packs, where people are spending $1000s to bid on NOTHING! I saw 1 where someone spent 14465 bids to win a Bid Pack of 8000 🤔 for $760.85. That was over $10,000 of pure profit for DealDash to ship out NOTHING & merely restore 8000 bids to 1 account. AT LEAST ½ OF THE BIDS SPENT BY LOSING BIDDERS OF BID PACKS SHOULD BE RETURNED.
★★★★ Christopher Shipley (Saintouse) 6/15/2026 v7.8.1
DO NOT USE! Another quick bids scam app. You buy bids instead of using real money. It's a legal loophole so they don't have to pay for auction license for multiple states and countries.
★★★★ Marko 6/15/2026
You have to buy to bid. I swear there are professional auction people bidding. You pay and pay to bid, and eventually, you lose. But you can spend $50 for the privilege. I won once, and I never got the item. Whatnot is better, you bid, and that's all you pay. You pay shipping, but it's still cheaper than Deal Dash.
★★★★ Raymond W 6/13/2026 v7.8.1
Same as GovActions. Have to pay for bids. So you are forced to give them money to try to win auctions but likely won't. Use a real auction app/site where you don'tpay unless you win. UPDATE: Further more you are bidding against both sites at the same time. Many items you think it is only people signed up for the site you are signed up for but there are more. THERE SHOULD BE TAG ON ITEMS THAT ARE SHARED SO YOU KNOW YOU ARE UP AGAINST WAY MORE POTENTIAL BIDDERS.
★★★★ Nakia Mcnair 6/13/2026 v7.8.1
so far im still in limbo .... waiti g to hear back on why i was charged a $35 when it says you must add a crad no purchass required then $35 came out my account ....
★★★★ tracy kelly 6/12/2026
they are the worst I was playing a game so I got a free spin to to get $50 off new comers put my info in and it's says unable to proceed or something whatever maybe they are not legit and it's not meant but they suck.
★★★★ Travis 6/11/2026
they stole $39 from me when I signed up. do not get this app.
★★★★ Cathy Newton 6/11/2026 v7.8.1
I checked my bank account as I do regularly and I had $35 charge that was pending. I went to the site and took a moment to figure things out but I didn't win any of the bids I bid on. found a spot where they charged me $35. they did allow it to be refunded (I will check in 3-5 days if it did) but charged me for 610 more bids. which for 1¢ a bid, that should be $6.10. anyways ,check your account and make sure they aren't charging you. bids weren't worth it. takes a lot of time
★★★★ Faith W 6/11/2026 v7.8.0
after seeing the 1 star reviews I WILL NOT be playing this game. ESPECIALLY since they dont comment on those reviews leaving me with no choice but to believe their word. Seriously it sounds more like a scam then anything.
★★★★ Nathan Stanley 6/10/2026
Its a scam. you'll never get the "free" 50$ credit without buying stuff. Avoid this app
★★★★★ Sandra King 6/26/2026 v7.9.7
Thru an advertisement it said I won $50. and would get when I opened app. Didnt happen.
★★★★★ Regina Olivas 6/11/2026
wins are very few and you spend money on bids that you use to place bids but you don't win and you're out money. Real auctions you don't lose your money unless you win. This is stealing people's money 😡. and I'm sure it's the poor /middle class people those that would like nice things but can't really afford it so they try here. I've uninstalled the app I have a better shot of winning bids at WhatNot and I only pay when I win.
