Description: Bid Bandit Auctions’ ultimate goal is to offer electronics, trips, concerts, sporting events and other higher end items; however, we have been trying to grow our customer base. Right now, we have Bid Bandit Bucks (cash transferred to PayPal), gift cards, and smaller electronics. Our customer base will determine what we are able to offer in the future.
Auction types: Currently at Bid Bandit Auctions, customers will primarily see .02 nailbiters. We do list some progressive and some seated auctions. Plans include hybrid and double/triple play auctions as our customer base grows. We are always open to suggestions from our members.
Bid cost: $0.60
User Registration Limits: Current limits are set at 2 accounts per ip address.
Win Limits: Win limits are two per 24 hour period.
Special Features: We are new and dedicated to creating a great experience for our customers. We recognize that growing a penny auction site is a slow process and sometimes painful, but our plan is to be around for the long haul with the help of our customers. Does this philosophy set us apart from the rest? We hope so!
Item Fulfillment: Combination personal fulfillment, Amazon, and other vendors.
Estimated Shipping Lead Time: Shipping is generally taking between 3 to 7 days to leave our facility.
Refund Policy for Unused Bids:
We will refund bids purchased for any reason. Sometimes a member doesn’t like the site and sometimes the site cannot please the member. Purchased bids are consumed first by the members. We cannot refund bids that are won or given as promotions.
Usual Customer Service Response Time:
Usually immediately, depending on time of day and within reason. We recognize that customer service is a primary concern of customers and ours.
Shipping Rates:
Shipping rates vary depending on item and weight and are always specified in item descriptions. Ultimately, we would like to offer free shipping, but we’re simply not there yet.
Promotions:
PAW members are invited to email Ed at [email protected] with suggestions, comments, or just to say “Hey!” for three free bids. These bids are in addition to free bids received upon registering. We are always anxious to hear from you, but the free bids is a one time offer. (**smile**)Keywords: penny auction, auctions, bidbanditauctions.com, cheap reverse entertainment shopping

Pros: good customer service Cons: 
This site has been very easy to win at. Good prizes, great customer service. The prices of the bidpacks are good, and I like the fact that with most prizes, he does allow a cash or bid exchange option, just read the notes of the item you are bidding on. Play responsibly and have fun!

Pros: Honest, decent chance of winning something & the BIN option Cons: not too many auction & next to impossible to win the 'big' item
Overall, I like this site and understand the reason for limited listing is due to their client datebase.
My only problem I have is that you cant win the 'big' items as if a specific power bidder is bidding on it, you have a 99.9% chance of loosing as I can almost guarantee you he/she will win. And when I say 'big' item, I mean anything with $25 value or more so not big but big for the site.
You can win on the site as it's decent to win if you arent afraid to really bid and go for it as I've won 13 times since playing there since middle of March.
Just not on the 'big' items as chances on that is harder so if you want more choices and/or bigger items, this might not be it for you but if you are wanting to try out PA and just starting without too much traffic, this would be good...just make sure you do alittle research on the bidders & you'll see who to avoid. Only a few so a good thing unless you want to go on a bidding war & try your luck.
Shipping is alittle slow but I just got an email couple days ago that my items won from the 19th+ are being shipped out.
I'd recommend this site as Ed seems like an honest cool guy trying to run this place so would be nice to see it get alot busier and popular to keep him going and possibly better our chances.

Pros: Honest, good communication, helpful Cons:
This is an undiscovered gem in the PA world. Auctions are easy to win, the owner is honest, and best of all there is a variety of ways to receive your product. Shipping prices are reasonable.
I think more traffic to the site would allow them to put up more items and more value, so come and join the fun.

Pros: Customer Service Cons: Low number of daily auctions
I have only tried out the site for a couple weeks but from what I can see there is not a lot of traffic on this site so you can still get some very good deals. I have had a couple questions and they usually get back to me within 12 hours. I am very please with the shipping. It takes about 10 days at the most as of mid June to receive your items. A little faster for e-gift cards.
Currently they are only offering around 4 auctions a day. Hopefully they will increase the number of daily auctions as their traffic goes up. They have win limits of 10 a month which is a good number for now.
If you have not tried Bid Bandit Auctions give them a try especially while there are some great deals to be had!
