This Is aJoke

i spent way more money buying bids and I never won anything significant. If you do this, buyer beware!

beware before you download

I thought I’d try the site so I downloaded it but unfortunately, I didn’t see anywhere that it was telling me it was gonna immediately charge you 35 when you open an account. I had chosen Paypal for payment option options and it immediately charged $35 to my Paypal luckily I went immediately back through the link to get the refund back. I don’t appreciate apps that are so confusing and do not disclose plainly something like that. Why would I trust that’s going to swindle you out of $35 the minute you open an account before you’ve even had time to look at the options and see what kind of things are on there that you might would buy shame on you! and I also see they say it has a great rating yet looking through the reviews 90% of them are bad and saying the same thing and it’s hard to even find all the reviews so luckily if you even find that you’ll see mine as well of all the other others given you warnings

Scam

Must buy minimum 35 dollars of credit. Lets you win small items . Do not recommend

Waste of Money

I have bought credits bid on items and never won. When you dump over 100 credits into one item that’s a little much. Save your money and find another auction site that doesn’t make you buy bids.

New

I’m new to this but so far it is awesome and great products

Beware

Just beware in order to get your “free” fifty points you will be forced to buy $30 in points just after signing up for the app.

Is this too good to be true?

I just signed on and don’t know what it’s all about yet. But hopefully it’s not too good to be true.

Fake

Tries to pass itself as a real government auction just to be met with a notice that this in fact is not that. Plus most of the reviews are fake. Don’t trust this one.

New customer

I’m checking it out now

Took my money

I had just signed up for the app and it immediately took $40 dollars from my account for points that I didn’t approve of, seems like it would be a cool app but needs to double check with people before taking money

$50 bonus!!! lol

The “bonus” is 50 off of registration… registration is still over 30. But I’ve seen 1000 of these commercials in the last 24 hrs so SOMEBODY ya getting a great deal

Don’t do it

Complete ripoff! You have to buy points to participate in auction. One point is one cent, and it costs you 12-14 cents of real money by credit card or PayPal. You have to buy point to participate in auction. One point is one cent, and it costs you 12-14 cents of real money by credit card or PayPal. It means $1 is just~9 points or 9 cents during the auction.
The process is very simple, and you are losing money very fast.

Frustrating

App glitches - lost bidding wars due to this - no answer from GA after multiple messages, but love bidding and the items they auction - very addictive and easy to lose track of how much you actually spent when you “win” an item.

Great deals

Do you want to score a great deal without really trying. Use GovAuctions.

Pay for credits?

I have to pay for bidding credits before I can bid? Are you serious right now? No thank you

Scam

I was asked to connect my card or my PayPal so I connected my PayPal and it automatically took $30 out of my account without me giving permission it never said anything about me paying them $30 just because I connected to PayPal.

Scam

It’s a scam, it’s not what they advertise.

Trying it out

So far so good

A fun and exciting way to find great deals!

"I have had a really positive experience using GovAuctions.com. The app and website are very easy to use, with a clean layout that makes browsing the items simple. It is exciting to join the live bidding battles, and I was able to get a quality item for a fraction of its normal cost! If you like a fun challenge and want a chance to save money on cool products, this platform is well worth checking out."

Misleading ads

Misleading ads say $50 free credit it’s only with a $35 purchase. I’m not sure the legitimacy when they so that bait and switch.
