I buy wine all over the world mostly at… I buy wine all over the world mostly at auction and find the opportunity to buy interesting and often overlooked lots on WineBid intriguing. What I do not like is that fact that I am continually ambushed at the end of an auction (like the last 30 seconds) by buyers who have shown no interest in a lot. This past weekend one guy literally was able to outbid me on 5 lots and I had no chance to respond. There is not one wine auction in the world that would not allow an under bidder to not respond but this is the environment that has been created. it is not conducive to creating a healthy marketplace. I am not sure why I even bother with the process.

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...

Wine that I bidded $32 on cost me $42… Wine that I bidded $32 on cost me $42 with handling charge California tax and shipping charges of $46.estimate for shipping was $34. They ship once per week and I bought my wine 10 days ago and they say it is about to leave California now and will be in Florida either Wednesday before thanksgiving or Monday after thanksgiving.maybe 21 days. do not use this company dreadful.

Winebid is NOT so Good My experiences have NOT been good with Winebid. First, I thought they had a ridiculously high 17% premium fee and you can get lower fees on other auction sites. Second, the shipping was very excessive compared to others. Thirdly, not having exposure to the others bidding (like a in person wine auction), makes me think there are underhanded things going on the maximize on their profits. Lastly, I've gotten wine that may have been fakes and they can NOT guarantee their authenticity. I will not be a returning customer.

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.
