While playing all day may be more of a wish than a reality, we created a “BidBot” to keep you in the game while allowing you to be off site. Tell the BidBot your price range and maximum Downbid amount and let it do the heavy lifting for you.

Choose the auction you are interested in and set up the BidBot. If you are the only bidder using a BidBot, a Downbid will be automatically placed within the last ten seconds of the specific auction. If another user places an additional single Downbid thereafter, your BidBot will continue to Downbid on your behalf until you win or your BidBot bids run out.

If more than one BidBot is set up for the same auction, with the same price range, our system will play all the Downbids simultaneously and add to the countdown clock the respective time for the total amount of Downbids.

If you win the auction with unused Downbids in your BidBot , the Downbids will remain in your bid account.

Well firstly, congrats to you!!

When the auction ends you will receive an email confirming your win. In this email there will be a link to be redirected to the "won auctions" page to confirm that you do indeed want the item. You will also have the opportunity to redeem any coupons you may have and the final amount will then be calculated for your approval. After we receive the payement, an email will be sent with shipping info.

Please note:  As technology advances in the blink of an eye, and items may be discontinued, Downbidding's policy is to provide you with a new or improved model, at no additional cost. 

All of our auctioned items are brand new and sealed. Most will ship directly from our vendors or from our warehouse. If an item arrives damaged due to shipping, please contact customer service. If an item is defective, contact the manufacturer for warranty.

Downbidding does not accept returns.  

Our Mulitioption auction functions the same as our site’s single auction except for:

• Our winner is given the ability to choose from a number of different items which will be offered, each with its own price, at the top of the auction page.
• As you bid you may view your savings and complete details for each of these choices by simply scrolling your computer mouse over any of the options.

• All options on the Multioption Auctions are controlled by a single countdown clock. When a Downbid is placed, the clock is reset by the time specified on the auction.
• Some of these items may be displayed as inactive with a countdown showing the remaining Downbids needed until they become available.
• Place a single Downbid or set a BidBot and watch the price on all active options decrease simultaneously.
• When the clock reaches zero the auction is closed and the last person who placed a Downbid becomes the auction winner.

What to do when you win:

• The winner can go to the “Won Auctions” sections of his account and view all options that were active at the time the auction closed. He can then review the final price of each option and claim one as his winning item. This is done by selecting “accept” on the drop down menu located next to each of the options. The remaining options are marked as declined and no longer available.
• You may also choose your winning item by clicking on the link provided with the email confirmation for the option you wish to keep.
