Counterfeit concern I buy from winebid.com very often,maybe every week and expensive wines. My concern is the counterfeit wines. I'm not saying that I have noticed anything wrong,but I'm concerned how good and how carefully their specialists are looking at the wines. How do they make sure that the wine are legit? Other than this concern,I'm happy with winebid..

Although they have reasonable exposure… Although they have reasonable exposure in the marketplace, WineBid holds your money after they sell it for additional 30 BUSINESS days. They require buyers to pay immediately with a credit card on file, collect the completed auction amounts then keep your cash for 30 business days. This is approximately 6 weeks before they give you YOUR money. There is no way it takes nearly this long to process incoming payments. Money moves instantly with electronic fund transfers these days. I can understand a week tops, not 6 weeks. They also charge the industries' largest commission of 15% for large quantities (18% for smaller batches). I have determined there are far better places to sell wine. Try K&L for example. 5% commission.

Experienced Customer of Winebid I have been buying on Winebid for over 5 years. I am certain I have bought over 400 bottles. I believe only one of the bottles was skunked. I have used their filters to create my favorites, and enjoy looking at the weekly updates. Knowing the buyers premium is part of the cost, I have found numerous bottles at 50% off retail or more. Now when you bid it advise you of the premium and the only hidden cost is shipping ($5/bottle). I think it is a fabulous site. Separately a close friend of mine died, and his wife had no interest in his Wine cellar. Numerous local lowball quotes from retailers resulted in me pointing her to WineBid. She sold over 700 bottles and netted well over 2x what her best local offer was. I think the site is fabulous.

Operated by morons Winebid suspended my account when I placed over $1k worth of bids. Authorized my card for every single bid... no hello, no any kind of warning... stupid moron operating this dumb site...

Above average shipping fees Above average shipping fees, and slow shipping to boot as well. They claim to have shipped on 1/22, but I'm unable to see where the shipment currently is until it's delivered into the possession of the Texas delivery company they've contracted with. How am I supposed to know when to be home to sign for it if I may only have 1-2 days notice, if even that? I would never use this service again, especially if purchasing an expensive bottle.
