I won that auction fair and square, so what if I put in only one bid, that is Quibids business plan, you COULD win products very cheap but odds are you won't, I understand this. I have all the screen shots showing I won, not just an email and if anyone would like to see them I would be more than happy to show you. I won and Quibids doesn't want to pay up. BAD business if you ask me. To everyone else that gets shafted by Quibids good luck, I am sure it's only a matter of time before this industry is either shut down or regulated by state government. I for one have sent letters and emails to my State Attorney's office and Oklahoma's State Attorneys office. I believe it's not a fair business if Quibids can pick and choose who really wins an auction. I know on ebay you get negative feedback and if you have to much negative feedback no one will buy from you.. Well here is my negative feedback.. To all you consumers out there that think you may be able to win cheap products on Quibids BEWARE! They can pick and choose if you win or not. Again BEWARE!

I'm very sorry this happened but I will explain the situation. Our database tracks who wins all our auctions and in this particular auction, he did not win. That email shouldn't have gone out. It was a glitch in our system that allowed the email to send to this customer. Since our customers literally bid at the same time, our database has to keep track of when the bids come through by the thousandth of a second - very close and precise.
The actual winner was indeed another customer. We have their name and shipping/tracking number of the product for verification. We hate that this happened and are very apologetic. In our attempt to make things right, we credited the customer 200 bids. Know that in that auction, this customer only spent one bid, so by far, he ended up with the better end of the deal. A glitch like this one is very atypical, otherwise you would see multiple posts like this and in fact, you do not. We work extremely hard to please our customers and to make things right if any issues arise. Our loyal customers and testimonials speak for themselves. We have spoken to this customer, as well as credited the bids mentioned above.
