There’s no obligatory number of bids you need to have to take part in an auction. However, we strongly recommend you to prepare beforehand and purchase a sufficient number of bids in order to win. According to our experience, you would need 150 bids on average to win an auction, therefore, our 200 bids package will work perfectly for you if it’s your first auction!

The possibility of refund depends on the type of the auction you participated in. In some cases bidbid might give you a certain percentage of bids back if you don’t win. Such actions are called bids back auctions.

Sure! Our team comprises of experienced specialists in bidding, therefore, we can give you a couple of recommendations that might help you to start:

• Opt for inexpensive items first. They are in a lower demand, and thus are not sought after by professional bidders. Such auctions may help you to understand how bidding works and develop your own strategies.
• Check out finished auctions and compare the final prices of items you’re bidding on. This can help you to predict when and how the current auction finishes.
• Take into account the number of bidders. We recommend you to step into an auction when there’re only a few bidders competing. Thus, your chances to win would raise significantly.
• Choose a right time to bid. Monitor the bidbid auctions and select the time when the lowest number of bidders are participating. Our experts advise you to bid around 8 am and from 2 pm to 4 pm.

Use the Auto Bid function. If an auction is not even close to the end and you need to go to work soon, opt for Auto Bidding. Simply select the number of bids you want to spend, and our system will do all the rest automatically!

Auto Bid automatically places your bids according to the requirements you set before leaving an auction. Our Auto Bid feature functions at any time of the day and night, and thus can help you to win our auctions regardless of how busy you are!

Simply open the page of an auction and click on the Auto Bid button. Select the number of bids you are going to spend, and all the rest will be done automatically by our smart system!

Yes, bidbid offers you a unique option of monitoring your auctions even when you’re far from your PC. Click on the “+” button on the auction page to turn on SMS or Email notifications and stay always updated! These auctions will be saved in your Watchlist.

An auction ends as soon as it reaches 0 on the countdown. You need to bid before the remaining time reaches 0 in order to become the last bidder and win.

“Checking” is a safeguard to ensure all users have a fair experience.

As the timer reaches zero, the technical platform on which BidBid runs, sends the server a request to make sure that no other bids have been placed.

During this time, the user sees “Checking” instead of the auction timer. The duration for which the user sees “Checking” on his screen is dependent on the user’s Computer speed and Internet connection.

During this time, the BidBid Auction Server is checking to see if the Auction should actually be closed or bidding should continue.
