Welcome to BidsWOW, one of the most fun and exciting, penny auction websites on the Internet. At this Penny Auction site you can find valuable and popular products at incredibly low prices. Look at our homepage to see what products are up for auction right now, and if one catches your eye, buy some bids for a low price!  We only charge $0.55 per bids.  Some other wonderful bidding sites, such as quibids, bidcactus and many others charge just a bit higher than BidsWOW.  We also offer three winners per auction. That is a first ever.  When you place a bid, we add a maximum of 20 seconds to the timer - to give someone else the chance to bid if they're interested. This is similar to the 'Going Once...Twice...SOLD' approach of auctions. Until the reserve is met you'll notice that the countdown loops between two minutes to one minute. Once the reserve is met the counter counts down to zero and the auction ends. If no one else bids and the timer reaches zero, you've won a sweet deal on BidsWOW!   If your name is in the #2 spot, you'll get 75% OFF the Retail Value of that item. If your name is in the #3 spot, you'll receive 50% OFF the Auction Value.  There is more...   If you don't win the auction, you never have to go away empty handed. Any time after you've placed your first bid in an auction, you can choose to buy the product for a discount using the Buy It Now feature. This will help limit your losses so you don't have to leave all your bids on the table. You'll never have to pay more than the Value Price for any products on BidsWOW.

How We Got Our Start

BidsWOW is brand new.  We started in 2010 with an honest and clear approach of having a less than 8% Reserve Price on each auction item to make sure that everyone benefits.   The company is based out of Houston, Texas. Our goal as a business is simple -- to provide more winners than other similar auction sites, and charge even less.  That is why we introduced the three winners per auction concept with Buy Now as a fourth possibility.   This online auction model creates even more excitement and overall better deals to the consumer than any other auction website in existence. We are truly proud of this. This model allows us to have an honest approach. You do not have to worry, we do not have robots bidding against you. Our auctions are set to make an honest profit and slower than the competition. With our staff having many years of experience in internet marketing, economics, finance and computer science, we strongly believe we can deliver this to our customers. We strive to keep our costs as low as possible to maximize the number of great deals we can offer at BidsWOW.



HOW DOES BidsWOW work?


Who wouldn’t like to win a  new Samsung 3D HDTV for $69.00 or a new iPad  for $49.00?  BidsWOW offers this opportunity every day to its users. 
What is the best way to win one of these auctions?  Here’s what we recommend:

THREE WINNERS PER EACH AUCTION!
#1 Spot, #2 Spot, #3 Spot + BUY NOW option for everyone.


#1. Spot: FIRST PRICE WINNER- Auction Winner
The first price goes to the person who bid last and the auction ended with their name on top.
The first price winner can purchase the auction item for the Auction Winning Price + Shipping & Handling.

#3. Spot: THIRD PRICE WINNER - Second Runner Up

If You Are WINNER #3 - Click Here


What if I am the #1 and #3 Winner on the same auction?
Can I get both winning prices?
In that event you only qualify for one winning price.
You only receive the #1 Winning Price. Not both.

No Duplicate Winners Allowed.

4. BUY NOW Option
You can purchase any of our auction items once you bid at least once on that item.
Your payment will be the full Retail Value minus whatever you spent from your bid pack on that auction item + Shipping & Handling Cost.


Consecutive Bidding Allowed.  (New!)
(This feature is currently under evaluation and it may or may not stay).
Pros: It will allow one customer to bid as many times as he or she wishes on that item.  Thus speeds up the auction.
Cons: May eliminate the option for multiple winners.  Our goal is to have 3 different customers win per auction item. 
This new concept may be popular or well received, but may not stay if we feel that it will take away from multiple customers winning.

Further explanation of the new feature:  Consecutive Bidding.

You may click the
button multiple times. 
Although we just recently enabled this feature, it is highly recommended that you are conservative with your biddings.
Each time you Bid, you are spending 55 cents on that auction item.

Because multiple bids are allowed, it may now happen that the same customer ends up in all 3 winning spots.
If the same customer is in more than one of the winning spots, that customer only qualifies for the highest winning value for that particular auction item.
BidsWOW prefers multiple winning customers per Auction Item.  If the same Customer ID is in more than one winning spot,  only the top winning spot may be collected by that customer.  No Duplicate Winners Allowed Per Auction Item.

Have Realistic Expectations

"I want to get this item!"

Go into each auction by willing to pay full purchase price for the item you would purchase anyway.
This way you won't be disappointed.

If you won, you just came out saving a ton of cash. Don't forget at BidsWOW you have three chances to win at each auction.

Please have realistic expectations.  It is important to understand that the most expensive items also have the most competition.  Items that are over $1,000 in cost will often generate a lot of interest and bidding. 

Some items can take a long time to sell, but once you win it, at the end it's well worth it. So tell all of your friends to bid also, this way the reserve can be met quickly so you can own your item faster.

It is not uncommon for these items to have over 100 people bid on them during the life of the auction.  These auctions are high risk/high reward and they should be treated that way.  Winning these auctions with a small number of bids is possible and happens every day.  Recently, user SHILE06 won a Nikon D90 12.3MP DSLR Camera + Lenses with only 4 bids placed!  This is not the norm however.  Most users that win more expensive items have placed a significant number of bids before winning.  Feel free to try your hand at winning with only a few bids placed, but do so with the knowledge that the odds are small of successfully winning.

The Clock on My Auction Item Loops Between 30 Seconds Down to 20 Seconds. Why? 
Reserve is not yet met. We have a reserve set, so our auctions are always honest and there is enough profit to be made to pay out the three auction prices. 1. The Winner's Winning Item 2. 75% OFF Retail for the 2nd Price Winner and 3. 50% OFF Retail for the 3rd Price Winner. We make sure that the Reserve is met so all three winner's prices are covered.

Reserve Price on All Auction Items are around 8% of The Auction Retail Value.
By having a reserve that is always under 8% of the Auction Retail Value will insure profitability.
This does not mean that the reserve is 8% it simply means the reserve is anywhere under 8% at all times.
 
Homework Does Pay Off

Second, focus on an item that you would like to win and watch auctions containing this item.  There are many different factors that affect what price an item will ultimately sell for.  Many of these things can be learned over time by watching and observing.  For example, certain items will generate more competition and bidding at night than in the afternoon.  Savvy users are often rewarded for doing research before bidding on a large auction. BidsWOW allow multiple bids per user. This is to allow any user to reach the Reserve Price faster and or to qualify for the 2ND & 3RD PRICE option to own an item. This feature is brand new concept and not offered on any other auction sites as far as we know. We came up with this concept so two people can win instead of one at each auction.

 
Focus on the Goal

A couple more tips before you get started.  Focus your bidding on one auction at a time.  Users who focus their attention on one item have a higher success rate and are generally more satisfied with their experience using BidsWOW.  Also, go into an auction with a sufficient number of bids so that you will not have to leave the page to buy more bids while the auction is going on.  Finally, set a budget of how many bids you are willing to spend and stick to it.


What if I don’t Win?

We are committed at BidsWOW to provide our guests entertaining shopping and great deals.  One way that we stand by this commitment is through offering the option to “Buy it Now”.  The “Buy it Now” feature allows you to use any bids that were placed during an auction towards the retail market value of that product.  It is our way of showing how much we appreciate your business.

We hope this helps you pull in the “Big One” and we’d love to hear from our users of other tips they have to help win the “Big One” in our comments section below.

BidsWOW does not guarantee that using the above suggestions will lead to winning any auction.  The article above should be viewed as an opinion.

1.    Track Your Favorite Items
.  If you are on a product’s live auction page, either watching or participating, take note of when that same item is coming up for auction next.  Depending on the amount of bidders in your current auction, you may want to come back at a later time when there may be fewer participants, and a faster win. Since BidsWOW is new, you have far greater chances to win than on many other wonderful auction sites, such as quibids, ebay and others at this time. As BidsWOW becomes more and more popular that, of course, effects the odds.

2.    Use the BidsWOW Live Auctions  It shows how many items there are in that category as well as the products in that category currently available. 

3.    Auto Bid.  This feature is one of the best-kept time saving secrets on our site.  It’s the perfect tool to use when the latest episode of LOST drags you away from your computer, or if you have an item you want to bid on in a couple hours, and you know you won’t be present to bid.  While Auto Bid is explained more in-depth in a previous article, this tool is designed to help those with time constraints…or people who just can’t muster the energy to keep clicking the mouse.   Definitely, check out this tool to keep you winning auctions while on-the-go!

4.    Buying Bid Packs in Bulk.  We’re sure some of you have run into this dreaded problem. You are hot in the middle of auction bidding when you suddenly find yourself dangerously low on bids.  Major buzz-kill! Now you have to rush to the Bid Store to purchase another Bid Pack right as the bidding gets intense.  Why not save yourself the time, and the anguish, in the beginning by purchasing a larger Bid Pack?  Now, you will be in a great position to win your auction, and perhaps have a surplus of bids for your next auction! Keep in mind we refund any unused bids.

5. Timer goes down to 20 seconds, Restarts & Loops - Why?. We have a Reserve set on BidsWOW. The reserve price is usually extremely low. Always around 8% of the Retail Value or Auction Value. This is to make the site profitable but still offer extremely low prices to our loyal customers. Until the reserve is met the auction loops back from around 20 seconds to 30 seconds. Once the Reserve is met, the auction counts down to 0 and the last bidder wins the auction. At the same time there will be yet another person who will benefit, the HIGHEST BIDDER, since this person gets to purchase the item for 75% OFF the Retail Value. Everyone else can still purchase the item for the full purchase price minus whatever they've already spent on their current auction.  

Post Any BidsWOW Ad, Link or YouTube Video &
For Each Customer, You'll Get $5 for Life*


HOW IT WORKS:

QUICKLY Two Steps.
#1 Get a Bid Pack to Qualify, #2 Get Your Referral Code

GET YOUR REFERRAL CODE & MAKE
$5 FOR EACH CUSTOMER FOR LIFE. Paid through PayPal Only.

Purchase a Bid Pack first to qualify, then go to your
Profile & Get Your Own Code!
You will also be able to monitor your earnings from your
Profile.

DETAILED EXPLANATION OF THE REFERRAL PROGRAM:

#1 To Qualify you must purchase a BidPack.
It's required for your future earning potential since we only pay through PayPal.
This assures us that you can receive payments through BidsWOW.com.
You can use your Bid Pack to bid at any of our auctions. Bid Packs are non-refundable.

#2 Anyone you'll sign up through your Referral Link, found in your
Profile you will receive $5 for.
It gets better! When the customer you referred purchases more bid packs at a later time,
you will receive $5 for every Bid Pack purchase they make.
Your referral stays with the customer who you signed up from your referral link or ad you've created, so when
ever they purchase a Bid Pack and as many times they purchase a Bid Pack you will receive $5 for as long as
you still qualify.

#3 BidsWOW will pay you usually before the end of the following month through PayPal only for your earnings of the previous month. Just like Google AdSense, BidsWOW.com will show you the earnings in your
Profile and pays you through PayPal for the past month's total earnings. You are responsible for your own taxes and fees with PayPal.

#4 Under your
Profile you will be able to see the number of sign ups and the total of your earnings for that month. Again, BidsWOW will pay you before the end of the following month for your previous month's earnings.

#5 You can get your own code from BidsWOW.com that you must use. This code will verify your customers, therefore you should not change it. However if you have programming skills, you can hyperlink any Ad or Picture you create and add your code to it. Just make sure you use it precisely, since that is your link to make money. BidsWOW.com will not pay you any money if your code does not work, so it is in your best interest to make sure that the code is not altered in any way. This will assure that your customer when they sign up and eventually purchase a bid pack will immediately assign $5 to your account.

#6 You only receive $5 if and when a customer purchases any of our Bid Packs. When a customer signs up there is no money offered yet. They must purchase a BidsWOW Bid Pack and they must keep it and use it for you to qualify for the $5 referral fee.

#7 BidsWOW.com will authorize you to offer kickbacks for your customers. However, BidsWOW.com will only pay you $5 for each customer you refer when they purchase a Bid Pack. Again, the good news is, if your customer is a repeat customer and they purchase Bid Packs several times, you will receive $5 for every time they purchase a Bid Pack as long as you still qualify.

* QUALIFICATION TO RECEIVE $5 FOR EACH CUSTOMER'S BID PACK PURCHASE:
NO TRICKS OR REFUNDS ARE GOING TO BE AUTHORIZED.
IF YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT IS UNAVAILABLE OR INVALID OR SHUT DOWN, YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY PAYMENTS FROM BIDSWOW.COM.
BY PARTICIPATING IN THE BIDSWOW REFERRAL PROGRAM YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO FORFEIT ALL EARNINGS IF YOU CANNOT RECEIVE PAYMENTS THROUGH PAYPAL FOR ANY REASON. THE REFERRAL PROGRAM IS SIMPLY A GIFT TO OUR CUSTOMERS, YOU ARE NOT HIRED OR EMPLOYED BY BIDSWOW.COM AND YOU MAY NEVER ALTER, ABUSE OR BADMOUTH BIDSWOW.COM SERVICES IN YOUR ADS OR COMMERCIALS. BIDSWOW.COM WILL PAY YOU FOR EVERY CUSTOMER'S BID PACK PURCHASE YOU REFERRED. YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT MUST BE OWNED BY SOMEONE WHO IS OF LEGAL AGE IN YOUR COUNTRY OR STATE. 18 YEARS OF AGE IN THE UNITED STATES.

BidsWOW.com $5 per Customer Referral Program is Now Live and Active.

You may advertise with this code and find customers any way you wish.

You may even offer kickbacks.

Post your code and get your customer base anywhere via any legal means you choose.

Craigslist, Shop.iFind2.com, YouTube, Blogs, facebook, Email, Email Signature, Websites, etc.

Once a customer signs up from your referral link or referral ad, you'll receive $5 from their purchases of Bid Packs for life or as long as you qualify.


QUALIFICATION
Everyone may refer their own link to any customer.
You must have purchased at one time at least one Bid Pack to qualify for monthly payments via PayPal.
You must also have a working and valid PayPal account at all times to receive monthly payments.
Payments will only be made through PayPal. No other options are currently available.
By participating in the referral program you agree to our terms and conditions, and you further agree to forfeit your earnings if you cannot receive payments through PayPal for any reason or for any reason a customer requires a refund.

Payments are paid by the end of the following month.
In otherwords, any earnings you made by the end of this month would be paid by the end of the following month.
Referral Earnings will only work through your referral code. Important: If a customer signs up and simply lists your email in our Registration process, that does not qualify you for this referral earnings. Therefore MAKE SURE you give your own referral link code or your own referral picture ad code to your customers for them to sign up with. This locks your customers through our automated tracking system to your account and shows your monthly potential earnings.

The monthly earnings are referred to as Potential Earnings, since these earnings can only be received through PayPal,
and You must purchase at least one Bid Pack at any time before any earnings can be paid out to you.
If a customer purchases several Bid Packs you will receive $5 from each Bid Pack they purchase.
Depending on how many customers you find and sign up, your earnings potential can become substantial.

Read the full instructions about our Referral Program and Your Monthly Earnings. How to Make $5 Per Customer.

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE TO REPORT YOUR EARNINGS FOR TAX PURPOSES & PAY TAXES.
PayPal fees are deducted from payments made to you from BidsWOW.com by PayPal. Those fees are PayPal related.
