Ability to have the site customized, ease of use, great value for money. Basic site is good but we needed some custom built features, fast response of the support. Communication can be a point of interest, skype or Zoom would be a good feature.

Drawbacks:

Lack of features in the standard website which was solved by customizing.

Summary:

Allthough not online yet as the website still is being customized right now, it really looks good.

Once I understood the administrative structure, it was very intuitive to use. The cost was very affordable and the ability to switch plans on the fly when we discovered we'd need to be able to create more items was really nice. By far the best thing was the responsiveness of the customer support team. Over the course of the month that we used to program, I made at least a dozen customer support requests. They were always prompt in their response and flexible in accommodating my requests. Best customer service experience I have encountered in a long, long, time, especially from the technology sector.

A visual diagram at the beginning that lays out the admin structure for various types of users (single versus multiple seller). The connectivity with PayPal wasn't clear initially. Again, pointing out that for a single seller, a simple check box and then entering the email in profile is all that was needed. I spent considerable unnecessary time investigating the PayPal sandbox function as well as various ways to configure API settings, that I didn't need at all. It's great that EasyAuction supports all of that functionality, but make it clearly that there's a simple path for basic users.

Due to the pandemic, our non-profit organization needed an online way to raise money that we normally did face to face at a gala. EasyAuction was an excellent tool to accomplish this task. Even though we're likely to return to face to face fundraising, we are also likely to continue to use EasyAuction as another way to reach our supporters.

1) I researched about 25 packages. Lowest I could find was for a basic package for $600 plus 6% of the purchases, which was far more than we were willing to spend on one event. Most packages were in the $THOUSANDS$! Easy.Auction was only $67 a month - and we needed it for only one month. 2) The learning curve was very fast - both for me and the users. 3) The support was fabulously fast - most times within a few hours. I was able to build a really simple auction site and have newbies use it.

Drawbacks:

1) Watch lists/outbid notices go to emails, not text messages. People don't want to watch their inboxes during an event, and many times the notices went to junk mail. This should be the developers' first priority - text messages are immediate and people act on them. 2) Although I learned it quickly, it would have been much, much easier to watch a training video (the only videos I could find were sales-oriented). Maybe the techs and I can do one together! :)

Summary:

We were able to implement an online auction within a month and for less than $100. As a nonprofit just starting out, this was the perfect package.

Benefits:

Some parts were easy to set up and with the option to add an app down the track was perfect.

Drawbacks:

Tables for images would stretch images looked way out of shape. There are no instructions on how to use it and you are left to your own devices

I paid my money and was able to start editing straight away. The next day their website was gone! my website was gone! I have sent numerous emails and had no response and cant continue to edit or publish my site. To bad if I actually had a Auction going 48 hours later their site cannot be connected too and am now going to Paypal to try and get my $180 back. "Disaster"

what I like most about Quibids was that it allowed for me to view all of the open beds and auctions available all at one spot and I can apply directly on that software.

what I like the least about this software was that it was somewhat limited to particular bids in which I would have to refine and filter out my search.

Summary:

My overall experience was very positive and efficient I was able to apply for a few auctions that we could gain business from.

The is a very entertaining pennysaver auction site. you have the option of bidding on an item or buying it in most cases. The buy it now option is less of a bargain then auctioning on it but if you see an item you just really don't want to lose out on it is a great alternative to bidding. There is a great selection of items and they are always changing. You can grab anything from gift cars, electronics to home furnishings and bedding. The customer service is top notch. They will assist you immediately with any issues.

The first time I ever checked out the QuiBids website I was just browsing but not ready to commit to it. I did not realize that as soon as you enter your debit or credit info you will be charged. I think they should make that a little more clear. I did however contact customer service and was refunded immediately. As a result of their prompt service I visited the site when I was ready to start bidding and became a member.

My experience has been great. I have had a lot of fun bidding on items. I have bought a couple of things with the buy it now option as well. A couple of items where not exactly what I expected but that is to be expected with any purchase from these auction sites. Overall the products were good, the experience is thrilling. There is a lot of fun in watching the bids and hoping you win!

It's easy to see that the page is pretty scammy. When someone has to put the BBB Accredited Business logo at the top of the page, you know you can avoid it. It's like when Chinese restaurants say, We don't use MSG anymore!

Drawbacks:

The whole thing is more of an advertisement than an auction site. Why is there so much pressure to convince me, when all I want to do is bid on items.

Summary:

Nada, zero, zilch.

Quibids gives users the opportunity to win bids at lower prices than they could anywhere else. The pay-per-bid system allows for a competitive, fair market place.

Drawbacks:

Winning a bid for a popular item can take a lot of time.
