Penny Bidding Site Reviews: BidHere.com

BidHere.com

 
Advantages:
  • Bidding can be done in two ways: either online or through a text message
  • Many auction types are offered to members, including a cash back option, not a 24-hour, $0, fixed price, speed, and so forth
Disadvantages:
  • The site has an authorized auto-bidder, BidMonkey. This can be put under “advantages”, but if you are a new comer, this may kick competition up a few levels, making the chance of winning a definite challenge
  • Auctions are longer, with 25 seconds waiting time after every bid, as compared to the traditional 10 seconds
  • Reports of suspicious or surprise bidders or “bots”, sometimes bidding at one auction then never bid again
  • Long time of delivery, and most members reported having to call customer service about where their items are before receiving it
