You have two options when it comes to bidding. The first is to simply click the 'Bid' button. Assuming there is no technical malfunction, your bid will be recorded and your username will be shown as the highest bidder.  To maintain the highest bid, you will need to keep clicking the ‘Bid’ button whenever another user outbids you.

The second option is to use the Bid-O-Matic feature. We developed Bid-O-Matic to enable you to participate in an auction while using the restroom, making a sandwich, or even performing complicated brain surgery. Bid-O-Matic will enter bids for you based on limits that you set— how many bids you’re willing to spend and when to start placing them.

After registering, you can click "Buy Bids" in the top menu. A bid is $0.60, and comes in Bid Packs. Select the Bid Pack that's right for you and follow the on-screen instructions to finalize your purchase. QuiBids accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and PayPal.

Now you're ready to start bidding in our many auctions!

Real Bids are bids purchased in Bid Packs from the Buy Bids page or from the Quick Buy feature in the QBar. These bids can be used toward the Buy Now option, and are eligible for a refund as long as they haven't been used in an auction. 

Voucher Bids are bids that are won or acquired through Voucher Bid auctions. Voucher Bids can also be credited in other ways, such as after claiming badges, playing games, referring friends, or other promotions and special circumstances. These bids cannot be used toward the Buy Now option, nor are they eligible for a refund. Voucher Bids will not count toward your 28-day win limits, but they do count toward your 24-hour win limit.

Voucher Bids do expire, though each type of Voucher Bid has a different expiration date. Go to My QuiBids and click on Bid Credit History. You will find information such as the date and time the bids went into your account, a description, an expiration date, bid type, and the number of bids. The bids are denoted by two numbers (xx/xxx). The first number is the number of bids you have left, and the last number is the number of bids you originally purchased.

Click on My QuiBids and then go to Bidding History. This area will display information on recent auctions you have placed bids in. 

Yes, Real Bids expire in 3 years. After the first year, the bids will become Voucher bids and lose their ability to be applied toward our Buy Now option. To see when your bids expire, go to My QuiBids and click on Bid Credit History. You will find information such as the date and time the bids were put into your account, an expiration date, bid type, and the number of bids credited.

Yes, on the QBar in the "My Bids" section you can select which type of bids that you want to use first in an auction. Real bids will be the default bid type used if you have both types of bids available in your account.

QuiBids' servers order the bids based on the exact time they were clicked. There may have been other users who placed a bid immediately after you.

On the Auction Page, you will find an area called Savings (beneath the large Bid button). There is a line called 'Bids'. This displays how many bids you have placed and the amount of money invested in the auction. This feature won't calculate an amount for Voucher Bids because they are not applied to the Buy Now.

On the My QuiBids main page, you will see a section that displays all the auctions you've recently participated in.

You can bid on any auction with an hour or less time remaining.
