Ask Zid! What Do You Want To Know?

When we submit our videos to the contest, do we get the 50 free bids right away or on the 13th?

WHEN IS THE 10,000 GIFT CARD COMMIN ALSO THE DODGE SRT8. ALREADY PREPARING JUST WANT TO NO WHEN ITS COMMING UP FOR AUCTION. THANKS ZID LOVE YA

I'm thinking what hoop or hoops do i have to jump through to at least win a what i bid on or some bidz ?

Hey Zid, anymore Madden 2011 and NCAA Football going to be up for auction soon?

Would be great if you would automatically add some bids for just sisignig into the site

Hi Zid. I am new to the Beezid team and I am not sure I understand the "timer". I watch the auction and the timer will start off saying 30 them go to 20 and I keep watching it get down to Going then it seems to start all over again. How does one know when it is really close to the end or how much time is really left. I have spent so many bids and got down to Going only to lose. Please explain so I am a better informaed bidder. Thanks Zid!

ARE THE PRODUCTS NEW, AND UN USED AND ARE THE GIFT CARDS FULLY WORTH THEIR FACE VALUS? DOES A $100 GIFT CARD HAVE $100 ON IT?

I have heard that there is a .25 extra charge a minute when you bid. Is this true? Is there any extra charges on your bidding besides the bid itself.
Thank You,
tedcyn

when we going to see more vehicles, great site love the excitement

Hey guys any new offer codes out there?

I have looked all around the pages and find no place that tell me how much does Beezid charge per bid or whatever.

How much is it??

Hey Zid,

How about adding some action figures to beezid.com. Not stuff you can buy for 13.99 or anything; I'm talking about action figures that are extremely detailed that cost a pretty penny. Those kinds would be awesome to bid for on beezid.com. What do you think Zid?

Hey zid,
How about letting us buy our wasted bids back that we lost during an auction for half the price.

I would just like to say that I have had numerous questions and a couple of problems. My questions were answered until I was satisfied and the problems were worked on timely. Each time the answers and help were given in a positive, caring manner, even though I'm sure I'm driving them nuts!

Hi Zid, I really love your site, and many of the items you offer on auction, but... I hate this "Max wins of 10" rule during a 28 day period. I do understand why you guys have implemented such a restriction, but I hate when I have to wait 7 to 10 days to bid again on a "Green" auction and I see great new items like the iPhone, Back to School package etc... pop up and I can't even bid on them.

Wish their was an extra auction added that would allow someone to reset/clear their "Auction Limits" 28 day calendar. This could be a "Red" auction, for in my eyes it's much bigger than winning a car.

Are you guys even considering anything like that? Something to keep bidders like myself visiting the site during this down time.

I also cannot get any of the codes to work including BLOG and AUGUST. They both say invalid. When I called customer service they said that they were for new people only, is this true?

Hey Bee any new codes for this month?

Thanks

I just wanted to agree with Phatman that there should be different classes for the prizes. A DVD/Blu-Ray or $25 gift card should not be in the same green category as Laptops, 37" televisions, Ipads, Iphones, and other higher end products. This would allow people to continue to bid on small items and larger ones.

Zid, do you guys plan on ever bringing back the $50/$100 Visa, Master and Amex gift cards? Especially right now, while the economy is doing so badly, these gift cards are a godsend for people looking to pickup a few extra dollars. Maybe to payoff some bills. Buy some Christmas gifts. Get some groceries. Their value is endless for you can use them on whatever you want.

Are you gonna have a black Friday deal?

hey there beezid team i think u should also look into selling clothing items or perhaps shoes i think those would be a huge hit also maybe opening up a sports department for jerseys and stuff

Hi there, where can I find information on the rules? Like the 28 days restriction?
Also, do you advertise on the radio (any promo codes for that)? Thanks

How and why is shipping 6.99 for a gift card that is sent in an envelope? And if I win two gift cards close together and they are shipped in the SAME envelope, then why do I have to pay two separate shipping charges?

Hey Zid,

With the success of the "Xbox 360 Halo Reach 250GB Bundle" and now the "PlayStation 3 (320GB) with PlayStation Move Bundle" on the early bird auction, will you guys ever consider putting a "Blue lock" item like a TV, Macbook Pro, Computer on up for auction during that time slot? I would love to see higher priced items like these being offered as an early bird special.

What ever happened to the reveal auctions? I never did get a chance to try one of those, will they be coming back?

Thanks!

how does sniper work

Hi Zid,
Way cool site, altho I'm still in the watching/learning/observing mode I have a couple questions/requests.

It seems that the uhhhh "good stuff" (big size tv's, camcorders etc.) are offered up for auction primarily on weekends and not on weekdays.
What about us poor slobs that have to work on Sat.Sun. swing shifts and can't bid during these times? How about adding more premium items during the weekdays and very late weekday nite hours? Puleeeeze!

Item suggestions to pass on for you:
Premium quality binoculars (sports)
More variety in camcorders and premium digital cameras (Nikon)

Thanks

Why is it called "Beezid"?

If each bid is 1 cent then I would assume an item selling for $1 had 100 bids...but when looking at the savings chart it seeems that the number of placed bids is listed as much lower ie:42 placed bids..9 free bids etc...how is this calculated?

Have you ever thought about putting a live chat are on the page with the bids? It would be great to chat with the other bidders.

I would like to know if Beezid is a publicly traded company?

Hey Zid,

I thought I heard a commercial on the Howard Stern Show promoting a "double bid pack" code. Is this true and what is the code?

how / where do I find you on Facebook???

I just joined eezid and am amazed at what I have seen. i will be purchasing a bid pack soon (as soon as i have the money prob in february) any code you can give me to double up so i can make the most of the bids. i REALLY want to purchase a PS3 and a laptop. tools would be great for my boyfriend

How does bonus code "black" work? Do you get double bids on that bid pack purchase or the next bid back purchase after you enter the code? I entered the code and didn't see anything change on the bid total.

Question???? Why would a customer have to pay you to bid on a product and then in return still have to pay for the product if the bid is won? Maybe in the future I might do this, but not at the present moment. Dont see myself paying to bid on something that I may want?

The 10 free bids for registering is misleading. False, actually. They only apply to Cherry Auctions, which amount to 2 auctions. It's hard to trust a company with business practices like these. Will you consider changing this to either 10 free legitimate bids or no bids at all?

Green Locks 6 wins in 28 days now? That's nothing! You should have kept it the way it was with 10, along with the new purple lock!

So- how does Beezid make money? Obviously, everything has a cost and a profit must be made or pretty soon there is no more Beezid...

Hi,
As a newbie I am having a very hard time competing against all the powerbidders. Anyway, I have some suggestions that might help new people win without taking anything away from the powerbidders:

1. Make a new lock category - say yellow. Keep the current lock system as it is but also add items from all other color locks into the new category (1000 bid packs, tvs, cameras, kindles, ipods etc). Limit this lock win to 1 per 56 days (like the red locks). Hopefully, the power bidders will concentrate on the higher end items and the other people will have a shot at winning the other items.

Suggestion 3:

Have coinciding regular and thrill auctions for the same items. For example, have a regular auction for a kindle while having a thrill auction for a kindle. The more experienced people can duke it out on the regular auction while less experienced people can get a shot at the same item on the thrill auction.

if a bidder wins two different blue lock auctions in a 28 day period, can he/she still bid up on a third blue lock auction? I can be more specific if necessary. Also, the lock limits start/finish after the limit is reached? So if you win say your second blue lock item on Dec. 1, then he/she can win again on Dec. 29? Or will it be Dec. 30. I look forward to you response.

why don't you give a total number of people that are "online" with beezid?

Hi, my account shows expirable bids. What does that mean? When do they expire?

why isn't the autobeezid working for me? Say I fill in the details with a 2 to start, and put in a number a few dollars above the current price, and say 20 bids. Well, my bids just disappear never to be seen again, and my bids are all applied automatically... right then. What am I doing wrong here?

When's the next car gonna be up for auction? Also just a suggestion but you guys/gals should try and sell more car audio equipment, like speakers, subwoofers, and amplifiers. I know I'd be bidding more!

Why are there no more "Thriller" auctions? I like to play and have won 1 small auction awhile ago. I get very frustrated when I am bidding and then someone "auto-bids". I know this is how the game works, but a lot of us can not compete. How about more "Thriller auctions on at least the smaller, less expensive items. I agree with the lock system as it is. It gives the rest of us at least some chance of winning.

Mr Beezid..When i signed up I only recieved 3 bids and when i logged on today i didnt have any bids to use. Just wondering what happened...Any info would be wesome thanks. From bearcubs4711

I have a bunch of things on my watch list. They all say standby, what does that mean and when will they come up for auction?

How many people work for Beezid.com? I have always been wondering that for some reason.

as the auction is going on i notice every now and then certain people when they bid the bid lites up pink and reddish, what does this mean?

I first heard about beezid from a friend of mine who mentioned that even if you lose an auction, you're still able to purchase the item from beezid at the full retail price minus the cost of the bids that you spend on the auction. I've been looking at the site for awhile and don't seem to see that confirmed anywhere. Is what she told me true and if so could you direct me to the url where it explains the process and if not do you know what she might have been referring to?
Thank you

is this a good site to use

Hi Zid
Anything further on not counting a bid pack as a first win? Love to bid on a cherry auction! I was not aware that bidpacks counted as a first win, and so I'm still looking for my first product win, lol.

thanks, daryle.

One more question, once we win the items, are we allowed to resell them? Or can we only keep them, and not sell them to family and friends?

if u use autobeezid function and cancel it does it subtact bids? if auto is engaged and auction ends before it is activated does it still subtact from your totals can u cancel sniper if it hasnt engaged yet and change amounts and still get back in w/sniper? rules were not as clear.

I have noticed that some of the bid prices stop at a certain price and do not increase. What's up with that?

The basic idea was that the Holiday promos tout "spread the winning around" and "create a frenzy", when in fact, it is not appealing for most of your members because the big boys completely dominate the auctions and so many others can not compete.
On July 4, many auctions went on for many hours, or even all day, as the huge bid hoarders used autobids of 5,000, 10,000 or more against each other. One member won several July 4 auctions, in spite of the locks.
I suggested limiting the runoff time after the cap is reached, making the first member to reach the cap the winner, limiting the number of bids anyone can use in one auction, randomly varying the cap (10%, 25%, etc), not returning all the bids, having auction levels where the big boys only can play or they can not play, not allowing autobids, allowing only one win per member in the promo period, and a few more that I dont recall any longer.
Today there was an example of a similar This morning an auction for a $200 gift card closed at over $1000 because the big boys fired off their multi-thousand autobids, and it went on for several hours.
Why do they do this, what is their logic?
Are they just playing chicken against each other? It really is not pretty and little guys like me, and probably most Beezid members, can just watch in disbelief.
Anyway, the hope is to make the site and the Holiday promos fair and more appealing for the other 90% of members who dont have thousands upon thousands of bids.
I also hope to get feedback on my suggestions and prompt more ideas from other Beezid members about how to treat these, and other similar issues they might have.
Thanks for your attention.

How long do you have before your bids that you purchased expire?

What are the hours of operation for customer support MON-FRI,SAT&SUN. Since you are a 24 hour site,you should have 24 hour support.Just a suggestion.

It appears that when Autobeezid
is running on an auction, that bidder will win that auction.
Or when another Autobeezid joins that
auction they seem to gobble each other up until one runs out of bids.

Hi Zid, what about golf items and name brand purses like LV, Channel, etc.:)

Any chance you will be bringing back more of the lower bid packs for auction?Back when I signed up there were many more 200 and 500 bid packs and I don't see them any more. It seems like all the 1000 and 5000 bid packs get gobbled up by the powerbidders.

I tried, its just to hard to win

how many times does it go thu the Going, Going, Sold? are all the actions the same?

"The general rule, of winning a maximum of ten auctions within 28 days","Once you have reached your cap, you will no longer be able to bid on items with auction limitations","Remember, as soon as you win an auction, one of those ten auction spots becomes unavailable for 28 days." I guess I dont really understand the "10" number. The pink and white locks do not count as part of the 10?

OK, I'm relatively new to this scene, but it seems to me that when you have a frozen price and bids back on an item you should limit the number of autobids allowed. Not doing so permits hours of boredom while you watch the same person autobid their way to the top.

Why do you have to buy bids to bid on somthing its like you are paying extra for the product you want

Any thoughts about new categories of auctions to those of us that don't have 1000s of bids? We see the same power bidders winning all the time.

Or how about disallowing or limiting the number of total autobeezids that can be used for a day/week/month? I'm not seeing many new people staying on and buying more bids after the holiday promotions - and it IS much harder to win now with all the pink locks/24 hr limits and powerbidders.

Hi Zid!

just wondering what I can use bonus bids on?

I'm wondering about the autobeezids. If you set your price parameters high and it never gets there do you lose the bidpoints event though they are never actually placed? Also, if you DO hit the price parameters and have allowed say 100 autobeezids but win on the 40th... do you lose the remaining 60 even though they were never actually placed?

Not sure if this has already been asked but is there some special type of calendar for promotional bid dates like "March Madness"?

Im new to this and I am just curious. Everyone bidding on these items is a real person correct? I mean how do we know some computer program isnt behind this bidding up the bids and these prizes are actually being won... Im not trying to be rude. I just am new to all this auction stuff.

Quick question, if u spend lots of bids on an item and still lose do u still get to buy the item at a discounted price?

how long do 16 second auctions last?
