Many months ago we wrote a series of articles on the penny auction sites BidPax, BidVoo, and iPennyBid. We first found iPennyBid.com, and told you that it was of our opinion that they appeared to have bot bidders, soon after our initial posting we received a legal threat from them.
Then, we kept seeing negative comments [...]

Maybe you found this article because you’ve recently stumbled upon Swoopo, BidRay, BidCactus, BidFire, BidRodeo, Beezid or the like, you’re in awe of the pay-per-bid, penny auction concept. You watch the auction timers tick down and back up again (10,9,8,7….20..3.2..19…) for hours, hundreds (even thousands) [...]
A reader and customer of BidPax.com (which was iPennybid) recently wrote us to tell us about their experiences with them and tells us he thinks BidPax has their own fake testimonial website: BidPaxScam.com, which interestingly enough pays for Google Adwords.
“Hi PAW,
Plimus is useless. They force resolve our dispute so i’m not able to get a [...]
Penny Auctions are prominent in the UK and rapidly gaining momentum in the US. It’s no wonder that the entertainment shopping phenomenon has now gone global.
For instance, there’s BidPax (which was iPennyBid from Canada) in Hong Kong, and Swiraa in Switzerland:
Nows there’s PaddyGold from Ireland that ships to more than 160 countries.
All three penny [...]
Updated: A reader just posted a very valuable piece of information, a traceroute for BidPax points to iPennyBid the same penny auction that we have received numerous complaints about.
And here is a screenshot of BidPax sent in from a reader in New Zealand (Thanks!):

A few days ago we told you that penny [...]
Remember iPennybid? We received a legal threat, many negative comments from unhappy iPennyBid bidders and found out that iPennyBid required scans of bidders driver’s licenses. Now iPennyBid is gone and the offline message reads:
“Due to licensing reasons, iPennyBid.com is no longer available in your country. We will post more information when available.”
Licensing reasons? Please look [...]
Strange and dubious practices that have been seen observed recently; such as, Pposh’s testing mode & shill comments, Pardoo’s shill comments to us & their use of DigitalFruit’s (Intelligent Investment Protector (IIP) penny auction software, and iPennyBid requiring scans of bidder’s identification cards and not having items available. Are a few of the entertainment shopping [...]
It does look like iPennyBid.com bidders are required to scan in a copy of their IDs/driver’s licenses to iPennyBid, read our last post.
From iPennybid’s Terms & Conditions :
iPennyBid has the rights to verify the identity of each individual user. In the event of iPennyBid being unable to verify or authenticate user identity using reasonable [...]
According to iPennyBid they have thousands of bidders and many bidders from other countries, UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand.
Are you one of the thousands of bidders from ipennybid, tell us about your experiences with them.
Did they ask you to furnish them with your driver’s license?
On Friday August 28th, I found this post on Yahoo Answers:
Â
Is the internet site iPennyBid.com actually work and isnt a scam?
Â
is it actually something that works or is a one big scam and this goes the same for other sites like that?
Answer:
I was just browsing Google when I found this question and quite [...]
It’s 2 AMÂ and guess what? iPennyBid.com has two auctions ending right now and 4 more ending within the next 3 hours, really.
And it looks like many people are up bidding right now too. iPennyBid is not the only auction site with auctions ending right now, PennySold, who by the way, has threatened to take [...]

A reader just told us that they found iPennyBid from an ad on Facebook. (We’re on Facebook btw, click the link to add us!)
(Read our previous posts on iPennyBid: July 31st, August 11th)
The amount of bidders and the user names look pretty suspicious for an auction that’s only been in [...]
It seems like everytime I look at iPennyBid.com around this time of night they have the same 6 auctions going.
Has anyone won & received anything from iPennyBid?
IPennyBid is a new penny auction that currently has 6 items ending right now simultaneously. In my opinion it looks like they might have shill bidders.

UPDATE: Another WINNING bidder, the one mentioned below that did not receive their winning item, they were refunded but was still also required to scan in their driver’s license.
iPennyBid is the first and only penny auction site that we have heard of to require a scan of a photo ID.
It looks like iPennybid’s [...]
