After reading "How Quibids Works" and "The 3 Biggest Mistakes Beginners Make" - I was led to believe that my bids, (which cost 60 cents each), could always be used towards the purchase price if I lost the auction. I figured "I really cant loose, as long as I am willing to purchse the item if I dont win it, my costs for bidding can be used towards the price". Boy was I misled!
As a beginner, I was directed to a "Beginner Auction" where I could bid on "voucher" packages of bids. So I bid on a few of these and came out only *slightly* ahead on the cost of buying actual bids. I actually bought voucher packages on auctions I lost. I wound up spending most of my "real bids" the first day buying addtional bids as "vouchers". I was limited to 3 wins, and had a grand total of 101 bids for which I spent a total of about $60 - but I used most of my "real bids" purchasing "voucher bids".
The next day I went to log in and found out that my "voucher bids" unlike "real bids" dont count for anything towards the purchase price of the items for auction!
Nothing in the basic information I read told me this. The issue is not addressed in "How Quibids Works" or "Quibids 101" or in "The 3 Biggest Mistakes Beginners Make".
Cleary, there should be a big fat WARING when people purchase voucher packs vs purchasing "real bids" - they cost exactly the same as real bids but dont work like real bids.
I should have known it was just a rippoff site. Whats more, they make you spend all your "real bids" before you can start using your "voucher bids" so you dont know that they are not the same (although they cost the same), until you have used up all your "real" bids.
