Watch out when bidding. There is a 35% chance you are getting a defective item and if you don't spend and extra 3 bucks all the way up to 100's of dollars on their 5 day return policy insurance, they will not help you. They take your money and sometimes even refuse to give your product to you. Oh, they also refuse to refund and you forfeit your product and money. There fee's are hidden, you don't know until you win the item, about 20% extra is what you will be paying plus insurance. They even straight up mispresent what it is that you are bidding on in some cases and stand behind their no returns when it does not match the description. Stay away unless you don't mind getting stuck with defective merchandise from a company that stand behind nothing. Just a sample of my defective merchandise from them.

Madbid.com fun Bidding
October 2, 2017

Since 2016. Year of joining now to Madbid actually did not meet my expectations directly. The reason is not that I can not win any prize. I followed some bids to the end. I do not know why it happened. I wish I could win a new gift. If you can not win, with rewarding concept. Strategic bidder can benefit a little, by able to make purchases from my credits points (dollar converted post biding...). One need to have a bidding plan to get the best from the site.

Avoid madbid it is a con
January 28, 2018

Gambling site pretending to be an auction. Terrible experience. They use fake reviews and online articles to appear like a good deal. I look forward to the day they have to repay all us users that were miss sold to.

Inspect first
April 17, 2022

If you inspect before bidding, there is no surprise on the condition of goods,
The staff is friendly in Butler, ready to help on any question.
I have been successful with getting goods at less than 1/2 the price at Walmart!

Not the best
November 2, 2017

Not the best site but it seems to be getting better I have try a few sites but understand that you have to be ready for the auction to be a winner and unless you bid on small items to then get to the big things

Bought several items that were listed as open box, not listed as used or like new. The Nuwave Duet pressure cooker was used and nasty! The smoker was missing pieces, and the air mattress was not the mattress that was supposed to be in the box and it smelled heavily of cigarette smoke. The air mattress also would not hold air!
I'm HIGHLY disappointed and will not shoot here again.

Don't do it.
September 16, 2015

After weeks of chasing refunds via emails have finally got my money back. Had to involve our credit card company team and ask for lost interest. Advice to give is, please do not give them anything you can't afford to lose.

I wish i would have seen this site before opening an account. I read an article that paints a very nice picture saying that it works. Well. It doesn't. I've spent $100 today (first day) and i won absolutely nothing. The timing of the bids seems to be fixed sometimes where even if you bid on time it says "oh it's closed". I also got charged more in my credit card than what they said i had to pay (and when i say more i'm talking about $50).
Stay away from that site, it's not as wonderful as they make it seem.

I bought £49.99 worth of credits but didn't find anything on the site that I wanted. I ended up bidding for something I didn't need or want just to avoid forfeiting my money ( which eventually happened anyway). I am advising everyone now to avoid madbid.com like the plague. There are plenty of trustworthy discount stores where you can buy online without getting ripped off. Only gave one star as unable to give nil.
