Love HiBid

Love the site . The app is good but I have found issues with it. There are times pages will just jump and flicker. You can not scroll any longer. You have to shut the app down and try to find the page again. Please fix the glitch and it will be perfect!

Nice but…

I really like that there’s an app for this. However, the page will start stuttering after I scroll about five items down on my watch list, meaning I cannot view a single item past that point.

Is this place a scam?

I have bought and sold hundreds of things on eBay and have never had such a terrible experience as I have with HiBid.

I purchased an item more than two weeks ago and still have not receivedd the item or for that matter had the seller respond to my messages. What a scam. They charged my credit card and no item.

Good luck making a complaint to HiBid! They never answer and the message said they will return my call during business hours. I called at 10am and 2pm. Hello those are business hours.

So basically go to HiBid. Win an auction. Never get item. Never get any contact from seller. Never get any way to complain to HiBid. Out of money.

Go to eBay!! Not HiBid.

Always crashes

I love the app WHEN IT WORKS. You can only scroll a few pages and then crashes. Another thing is when you’re scrolling through your saved items you’ll only be able to see a few and it loops back to the first one again and eventually crashes. I spoke with someone there at HiBid about this and the response was it doesn’t work well with Apple devices and told me I should use their laptop version. When I save something to my favorites on the laptop version it doesn’t merge with the app version. PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE! I love the app when it is working.

Terrible

You can’t search by lot # once you get into your chosen auction. It is constantly kicking you out of the app and then when you go back in you have to start your search all over. There is no general search where you can just type in a specific item name and it finds it. Auction items are not classified correctly. For example a .50 cal rifle should have been under ‘Rifles’ but it was under camping equipment. This app needs a lot of work.

Good for Browsing but

Use desktop to bid as timer is not accurate. Also, the search capabilities as so poor as to be non existent. Finding by date or map is fine, but I cannot do a simple search by Auction House. Would also like the ability to sort by time or alphabetically. So again good to just look around but if you’re a serious bidder don’t rely on app.

Terrible

Crashes regularly

Horrible

Hibid should be ashamed of itself. To start the website does whatever it wants. I was 500 items scrolling down and hibid decided to freak out and go back to the home page. And if you think you’re going to bid for some last minute pricing, guess again the page constantly refreshes and you can never get back to where you started in time to win your auction. You think maybe just put the whole bid you would like down first, but because they show that information to the auctioneer so they always stay a dollar underneath your bid. all the inconsistencies with auctioneers verbal abuse. It’s wild. Today was a first with HiBid, but not a surprise. I ordered a lot of costume jewelry and inside the box. They filled it with rocks. I’m guessing to make a little more on shipping. There’s absolutely nothing you can do about it. good luck getting a hold of anybody. The only time I see them trying to make right is in the comment section.

App does not report closing bids properly

I normally bid from my desktop. Used the app version over the weekend to monitor bids while I was away. App showed I had the winning bids up to closing. Came home to discover I lost ALL my auctions to snipe bids that the app failed to update. Do NOT trust this app if you are bidding!!! It's good for a search tool only. Use your desktop to monitor your active bids and soft closings. Frustrating!
