They allow deceptive practices...The auctioneers can see your max bid AND can bid on their own auctions with only a small micro font disclosure. While this is a legal loophole meant for live auctions, scammy sites like this attract fraudsters that have a rigged auction. There is ZERO excuse for giving auction houses access to max bids.

The auction is nothing but a scam I'm a dealer and have been to auctions all my life and have never seen anything like what they are getting away with . First I called and asked is it a live auction to come in person and was told no but yet when you bid on line and get out bid multiple times by onsite bid they say it's bids from another site ( all that is them running your bid up ) then they even have the nerve to back up after they fly by your bid and try and act like they had money when they really didn't . 1) why have a fake ringman yelling in the background like their is bids coming in 🤣 2) why can't you see the auction block live?

Hi, I overbid on an item. I called them to reduce my bid to at least the winning amount and they said they couldn't. Beware when bidding. I bought from them before. With no customer appreciation. Go directly to the auctioneer. Much safer.

This has to be the worst of all the auction sites I have dealt with. It is the worst users friendly site I have ever dealt with with auctions. I hope these auction sites are making bank because people buying hate this site. Proxibid do better

I found the perfect engagement ring for my woman. 24k retail. I prebid 5k but it wasnt enough to meet the "threshold". At auction it sold for 10k. The ring was listed on proxibid 3 days later. This entire website is just jewelery companies bidding on their own merch and waiting for folks to start a bidding war. Never leave a prebid on this website.

I bid on items through proxibid on Feb 8th. During the end of the auction I had put in my last bid and was going to win 2 of the auctions when additional time was added to the auctions! Not once but multiple times! I stopped bidding because I don't play that game. I had another 8 auctions that I was going to bid on but didn't because of the other 2 items that they added time to! I have done multiple auctions with other sites and never ever had this happen. Very strange auction behavior. researching the site none of this was mentioned. Plus when I signed up they charged my credit card a $1. And after the auction started they pulled off one of the items I was bidding on because the seller wanted to keep it. I do not recommend proxibid as a buyer nor would I every use them as a seller!

This website is atrocious. when it gets down to the final times you are never able to update bids. It locks out every time. When you try to refresh, no matter what system you are using it takes for ever to reload. The system is poor. I have even been involved in auctions where they had to stop and restart the system. But the customer service is even more pathetic. Do not use them if you don't have to.

They will offer your lot to the onsite bidders for your max bid. Example high bid $300 with a max of $325 before auction even starts. Sold for $325 to onsite bidder. And it's happened twice in 2 days. See pics. Happened atleast 8 times this year. Was last straw. Auction houses blames Proxibid and I have to believe it because it doesn't happen with any of the other online sites I use. I would definitely recommend Maxsold.com, Hibid, Auction Ninja and Grafe, all honest. Wish I could add pics here, but did add pics on Yelp if interested.
