Start the New Year Off Right With DealDash Confidence

When I started bidding over two years ago the one thing I lacked—and subsequently needed most—was confidence. I was a fresh newbie, spending money on bid packs and not fully understanding the bidding scene and all its subtle nuances. Whether you’re a newbie or someone who has been bidding for a while, confidence is key and here’s how to get it.

Learn all you call about how the bidding process works. Read the customer-written blogs (like this one), the Tips & Tricks section on DealDash and tutorials. The more knowledge you have on the way things work and what the process is, the more confident you will be placing your own bids.

Watch other auctions in process as they are happening and notice patterns of bidders (jumping in and out, bidding from the start, joining in the middle, jumping in at the end). Do you notice patterns? Behavior by the same people over and over again? Take notes.

Use tools to predict bidder behaviors. Utilizing the Winners tab will enable you to see if the person you’re bidding against has recently won a large or multiple items in the past 24 hours. When they do win, are they overbidding (example: bidding 500 bids on an item worth $50 seems excessive)? Although it is not an exact science or 100 percent accurate predictor on how a previous winner will bid on any given auction, they may be ones to watch.

Start small with your bids. In other words, bid on a $100 item to start rather than a $1000 item to start. There will likely be less people in the auction and that means a greater chance for you to win.

Win with confidence. Know that every small win could lead to a bigger win and then a bigger win still. Putting all the pieces of the bidding puzzle together—or as much as possible anyway—will help you to win more and gain confidence as you get into the bidding pool.

Happy bidding on DealDash!

DealDash Bidding Resolutions

What are your New Year’s DealDash bidding resolutions this year?

There are many different bidding resolutions that you could choose to make this year. It all depends on how much you use DealDash and what your bidding style is, but here are some common bidding resolutions that you could choose to make this year. Read on for more information on bidding resolutions.

Resolve to Get Free Bids

DealDash loves to give free bids to their loyal bidders. Did you know that you can get free bids for just visiting DealDash and placing a bid? It sounds strange and like a trick, but it’s 100% legit. DealDash will give you between 4-30 bids every time you visit DealDash and place a bid on consecutive days. If you come and bid for a whole week on consecutive days you will end up earning 30 bids on the 7th day!

If you’ve been bidding on DealDash you are probably familiar with this one, but you always receive time on your time clock for being the highest bidder in a DealDash auction. As you bid your time clock meter starts filling up with green when you are the highest bidder. Once your little green meter at the bottom of your screen has been filled up, you will be credited with free bids. Getting free bids from DealDash is a great bidding resolution for the new year.

Resolve to Use the BidBuddy

Using the BidBuddy is a no-brainer, but some people simply just don’t realize how awesome the BidBuddy truly is. The BidBuddy will bid for you when you aren’t there – or when you are there but prefer not to place single bids. The BidBuddy wins more auctions for DealDash bidders than placing single bids does.

If you haven’t been using the BidBuddy regularly, then you should make it your bidding resolution to start using it this year. It will save you bids and money because it bids in turn with the other BidBuddies. It doesn’t waste any bids and only bids when it’s your “turn” to bid. Don’t waste your bids this year, resolve to use the BidBuddy.

Resolve to Budget

A common mistake that people make when they first start bidding on DealDash is to not figure out a bidding budget. It’s easy to get carried away and spend all of your bids in one auction if you’re not paying attention. This is why it’s important to make a bidding budget. You can figure out how many bids you want to purchase and how many bids that you want to spend on each auction. You might choose to do a BIN (Buy It Now) and get your bids back, therefore keeping your bidding budget in check. Resolve to have a bidding budget this year and you will be glad that you did.

YAY You Won the DealDash Auction! Now What?

You won the DealDash auction! YAY! Now, here’s what you need to do next…

Step 1 – Bidding

The only way to win an auction is by bidding, of course. You’ll want to either place single bids or put your bids into the BidBuddy so he can bid for you. With a little bit of patience, you could be the winner of the auction.

You’ll know that you’ve won when you see the fireworks across your screen. You will get excited when you see the fireworks, because you’ll know that you’re the big winner! YAY! Congratulations, highest bidder! If you decided to use the BidBuddy instead of placing single bids and you aren’t watching your screen when you win, DealDash will automatically send you an email. Here’s a tip: You’ll still get to see the fireworks show inside!

Step 2 – Paying for Your Win

Once you’ve seen the fireworks it’s time to pay the final auction fee. This is the fee that starts with 1 penny and increases by .01 every time someone bids. When you’re ready to pay, then go to your DealDash dashboard and click on the “Won Auctions” tab. You’ll see the auctions that you have won and how much you need to pay so that DealDash can ship your item. Simply click the “Pay” button and you will be taken to the payment screen. You can choose to pay with credit, debit, or even Paypal. Personally, I like PayPal, because I can pay with my PayPal balance instead of having to charge my credit card for a small amount like $1 or $2.

Sometimes DealDash even has a promotion that makes your final auction fee 1 penny. They call it “free” auctions, the 1 penny is a transaction fee. So even if you win an auction during a free auction day, be sure to do to your dashboard and pay the 1 penny so DealDash can ship out your item. There is another similar promotion called “Half Price Auctions”, and your final auction fee will be half of what it would normally be, e.g. you won an auction for $7, then DealDash would only charge you $3.50. What a great DealDash deal!

Step 3 – Check Your Shipping and Tracking

DealDash has free shipping on each and every item on the site, including both WINs and BINs. After you have paid, your item will ship. DealDash ships items extremely quickly, I have gotten items within 48 hours of paying. This isn’t always the case, but more often than not you can expect to see your win in the mailbox the following week.

After it ships, you will be able to track it on your DealDash dashboard. This only pertains to items, 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, simply navigate to your dashboard and click on the “My Orders” tab and you will see all of your paid orders.

Get Yourself a Present on DealDash

Christmas was a few days ago, have you cleaned up all of your wrapping paper? If you didn’t get the gift you wanted, DealDash has some lovely gifts to get yourself.

Did you have a wonderful Christmas with your friends and family? Were you able to get everything that was on your Christmas list? If not, no biggie! DealDash can help. Spend some time on DealDash, and get the rest of the items that you were wishing for this year.

Get Practical Gifts Instead of Fun Ones?

I love being a wife and mother, but sometimes people seem to forget that I have my own hobbies! In the past years, I have received vacuum cleaners, cute aprons, cookware, and a (very useful) electric teapot. Now, those are all fine gifts and I use them often, but sometimes on holidays I just want something silly and non-essential! However, I have to say, I use that electric teapot every single day.

If you also got practical gifts this year instead of fun ones, what would you like to get yourself on DealDash? How about some beautiful jewelry? DealDash has a great selection of earrings, and they all come in little velvet bags that are inside a high-quality gift box. Make some new earrings a gift for yourself. If jewelry isn’t your thing, how about a new painting, purse, or candle?

Don’t order things, win or BIN on DealDash

Did you know that DealDash offers free shipping on all of their auctions, no matter if you win or BIN (Buy It Now)? This is a huge improvement on many other websites. Sure, a lot of sites have free shipping, but only if you buy a certain number of dollars of merchandise. DealDash ships every single thing for free, even their $10 gift cards. On DealDash Shipping is always fast and free. This also goes for oversize items as well. No matter what the size, even furniture, DealDash ships them for free!

BIN the Presents if You Don’t Win Them

DealDash has everything that you can think of to get yourself as a gift, and if you don’t win the item, you can BIN it. When bidding on an auction, if you don’t win the item it’s not a big deal. You can BIN it! When you BIN an item on DealDash, you will receive your bids back that you spent when you buy the item for the retail price. However, getting yourself a gift that you really want? Priceless.
