Well, we know it all .. it is a pay to bid auction website, so you have to pay for your bids. So you know the risk. Apparently only one person can only win, the others loose. But here you can use a buy now function as far as I know. So you use the value of the bids place as and discount towards your buy now price. Well at least you can cut your cost, and you still receive the item. Yes you will need a bit of money before you can make good deals. But it is all about the right strategy placing a few bids at the right time.

As far as I know, MadBid has been the market leader. Compared to other sites, I think MadBid offers a good service, also in terms of usability. I think it is fun, as you can really grab bargains at low prices. But certainly you need to be a better bidder than your competitors. But supposedly this is the challenge, haha You better not bid against me, lol

Just adding my two cents here since Madbid links are now blocked on Facebook. Contrary to some people's belief, it is not a scam. People come on the site believing they can get something for nothing, and they spend a bit of money carelessly and they get upset when they don't win. It is a auction site involving skill, timing and a bit of luck. People need to spend wisely on the site and most importantly, start off bidding on small items, if you register and expect to win a iPhone on your first day then you're going to be heavily disappointed. Small items have less competition and therefore betting chance of winning so start on them and before you know it, you'll be having great fun on the site.

Hello, I run the social media for MadBid. Facebook has blocked the links to our website which is incredibly damaging. We would like to take this opportunity to explain that MadBid is Europe's LEADING interactive auction website with hundreds of thousands of winners and millions of users. Yet this 'my wot' has decided we are spamming or scamming. This could not be further from the truth. Our terms and conditions are clearly written, we have an online video tutorial as to how to use the website, a dedicated customer services team and social media team to deal with customer queries and complaints. We offer our users a new, interesting and innovative e-commerce platform where they can win items for a fraction of their retail price. Please like this comment in the home 'mywot' will finally lift this ridiculous and unjustified block on our site.

Difficult to understand at first, but once you figure it out it is cool. However, if you want tome real bargains, be ready to spend more than a few quid for an iphone for example. Be realistic in your budget! J.

cost you a bomb to bid for sod all, stay away or look up ebay, where you get what you pay for.

Despite the impression initially given this is not an auction site. It is is a form of lottery. You are charged between £0.099 and £0.33 to raise the bid by £0.01 so usually madbid will be taking a great deal more than the RRP for each item. It is easy for someone to spend a lot of money on this site without making a single successful bid

Awful site where you can, very quickly, loose a lot of money without anything to show for it. Keep well away.

reports itself as an auction site, yet is a form of lottery in reality.
