3. If you've won a prize in one of the Ziinga auctions such as an iPad, iPhone, LCD TV or Kitchen appliance. You will be asked to submit copies of the documents namely you Government issued photo ID, utility bills and a scanned copy of the front and back of your credit card. They will also request you to sign an authorization form which allows them to deduct the £60 membership fees from your credit card.

Now that you know these 3 things, its still up to you- if you want to sign up with Ziinga.com
Since you know the cost and you now know the risk, stop crying wolf that Ziinga or any other Penny Auction sites are scams.

Penny Auction sites are for real and they are a whole lotta fun if you're really into strategic bidding. But if you feel you're going to be cheated out of your hard-earned money then DON"T sign up and don't hand over your credit card information. It's that simple. 

Ziinga is legal as far as the web goes and they do ship their prizes as promise. But yes, they do charge for their services just like any business.
