We at Penny Auction Guide strive to provide you the most up to date information on penny auction sites to help you quickly find the right penny auction site for you.
One of the most important steps is to check the penny auction site's Terms and Conditions, usually found at the bottom of the website, with a small link. Not all penny auction sites are created equal, and the Terms and Conditions is your most valuable resource to understanding each site's unique features and to avoid problems or headaches later on.
Below are some of the questions you should try to answer before you begin bidding on a penny auction.
- Does the penny auction deliver to my country? Some penny auctions deliver worldwide, some only to specific countries, such as the United States. Don't find out after you've won an item that they cannot deliver to where you live. Visit our Penny Auction Reviews section where you can find information on which countries each site delivers to, listed next to "Ship to Country" under "Auction Details."
- Does the penny auction have the items that I want? Browse current, upcoming and ended auctions for each site to see the types of items that are offered for auction. Some sites specialize in Gift Cards or big ticket electronics items, some offer a wide range of items, from cold hard cash to cars. Visit our Penny Auction Spy section where you can find more information about recent auctions.
- Does the penny auction site have the features that I want? Each penny auction site is unique. Maybe you like using Auto Bidders or perhaps you prefer sites that don't allow it. Visit our Penny Auction Reviews section where you can find information on the auction type and features of each site listed next to "Auction Features" and "Auction Type" under "Auction Details."
- Is the penny auction legit? As we explain in our article, What are scam or shill bidding Penny Auctions, there are auction sites that are simply bad and only want to take your money. Sites with at least several thousand monthly visitors are less likely to be scam sites, since after a while scam sites get shut down or people alert each other. You can check a site's montly visitors by using many freely available tools online, such as compete.com or by visiting our Penny Auction Reviews section and looking up the site's visitors by "Monthly Visitors" under "Auction Site Facts."
- Is the penny auction shill bidding? If you are watching an auction and the same username keeps bidding even though there is noone else bidding, there is a good chance that the site is shill bidding, as discussed in our article What are scam or shill bidding Penny Auctions.
