DealDash Tips for When the Auction Ends

DealDash Tips

Alright, you’ve figured out how to bid and win. What goes on next? Here are some tips from DealDash.

The most difficult part about participating in a DealDash auction is winning, but you’re not totally done even after the fireworks have gone off and you see your name up on the screen. There are just a couple of more things that you have to do to make sure that you receive your item safe and sound. Here are some tips and instructions from DealDash on how to make your win a success.

Is Your Information Correct?

After you’ve won an auction, it’s a good idea to go into your account and make sure that all of your information is correct. Do you have the correct credit card, debit card, or Paypal information on your account? Is your billing and shipping address correct? Does everything look exactly right? It’s important that you double-check these things, because you wouldn’t want your shipment to be lost or delayed because of a small typo.

Pay for Your Auction

When you have made sure that all of your billing and shipping information is correct, it’s time to pay the final auction fee. Just click on over to your DealDash dashboard and click on the “Won Auctions” tab. There you will find any auctions that you have won that have an outstanding balance on them. Just click on the “Pay” button and you will be taken to the payment screen. From there you can choose to pay with credit, debit, or your Paypal account.

You Can Make a Screenshot

Personally, whenever I win an auction I like to make a screenshot. This way I know exactly when I won, what the product was, and most importantly – who I beat. This information can be extremely useful in the future. I have never had any problems with DealDash delivering the wrong item, but everyone makes mistakes, so I like to be prepared.

When you think about it, DealDash is amazing – I have had approximately 5 misdelivered packages by Amazon this year, and zero this year from DealDash. Actually, I have only ever had 2 misdelivered packages by DealDash, ever. And when I contacted customer service they promptly resent the packages to me. Now that’s service!

Shipping and Tracking

DealDash always provides free shipping on all items on their website, which includes both WINs and BINs. Each and every item will arrive brand new, in the original box, and covered by the original manufacturer’s warranty. I once had a problem with an item that had been damaged in shipping. I emailed DealDash customer service and they said that I could just take it and exchange it at Wal*Mart. My Wal*Mart didn’t have the particular item, so they let me exchange it for something similar instead. No problem!

After your item ships, you will be able to track it on your dashboard. This is only true for goods, not gift cards unless the value of the gift card is over $250. If you’d like to see your tracking number on your item, just log-in to your dashboard and click on the “My Orders” tab and you will see all of your orders.

DealDash Tips of the Trade

DealDash Tips of the trade

What’s your best DealDash Tip? All DealDash regular bidders have a few “tips of the trade” that they use when bidding.

What are your favorite DealDash tips of the trade? What’s what special trick that you like to use when you bid? Okay, okay, I know that you don’t want to give away your special secrets. How about your regular tips? What guidelines do you like to use when you bid on DealDash? Here are some of mine.

Don’t Accidentally Overbid

What do I mean by accidentally overbidding? I mean, of course, by bidding more than the item is worth! Many times when you do your calculations of how many bids to place in an auction you might forget to also take into account the auction’s final value fee. This doesn’t apply on “Free Auction weekends,” of course, but on a regular day you might find yourself overpaying if you don’t remember to calculate this part. This is especially important to remember when you are bidding on gift cards because these auctions frequently end up costing at least 50% of the face value.

This is especially important to remember when you are bidding on gift cards because these auctions frequently end up costing at least 50% of the face value. Wouldn’t you be upset to have set up your BidBuddy with enough bids to equal the value of the gift card, and end up winning, but have to pay the face value of the card, as well? That’s what we want to avoid at all costs – “winning” instead of WINNING!

How can you prevent overbidding? It can be difficult when you are bidding in an overnight auction using your BidBuddy because you don’t want to run into the situation that we talked about above. What you might want to do is check and see what price the auction typically is won for, and then set your BidBuddy accordingly. However, this could backfire on you if you miscalculate. This is why you should keep a close eye on your auctions even when you’re using the BidBuddy.

Buy Your Bids at the Lowest Price

Do you know how to stretch your bids even further than the next bidder? By buying them at the lowest price, of course! Don’t be the person who buys a giant bid pack when bid prices are at .19! Buy them when they are at .12-.15, and you will have a lot more bidding power than people who bought them at a higher price. For example, today the bid prices are very low – so it would be a great day to buy a big bid pack!

DealDash Tips: How to earn Free bids

Free Bids

Do you know how many different ways you can get free bids on DealDash?

You can get free bids by doing any or all of the following:

  • Go to “My Dashboard” and look at both your “Buy It Now History” and your “Won Auctions.” Sometimes you will see an offer (written in green letters) for you to earn 10 free bids for writing a review. It only takes about 15 seconds, so this is an easy way to collect free bids.
  • Go to the DealDash home page every day and place at least one bid in an auction. By doing that, you can earn from 4 to 30 free bids. The first time you will receive 4 free bids and if you continue to do that every day, you will get up to 30 free bids. Once you get up to 30 free bids, you will continue to receive that many as long as you do not miss a day. If you miss a day, you will have to start over again with only 4 bids.
  • Have your photo taken with a product you won on DealDash and email it to: [email protected] along with the information on the retail value, how much you paid and how many bids you used to win it. If the value of the auction item is $200 or more, you will receive 350 free bids; if it is from $99 to $199 you will receive 250 free bids; and if it retails for $99 or less, you will receive 30 free bids. Your photo can also be entered in the “Best Photo of the Week” contest. If you win, you will get 1,000 free bids.
  • Every time you place bids you will see a green line move at the bottom left of your screen. At the time of this writing the special feature is 3X. That means that instead of getting 10 seconds on the clock, you will get 30 seconds instead. When that line moves all the way to the far right, you will collect a designated number of free bids, depending on the level you are on. When my green line gets to the end, I will be on Level 60 and I will receive 810 free bids.
