Penny Auction Policies: What You Should Look Out For


Penny Auction sites are actually a lot of fun, but they sure do have air tight policies when it comes to their transactions. Here are some tips to make the process easier with Penny Auction sites:


Read and understand the Terms & Conditions of the Penny Auction site. Don't just register and click on the 'I Agree' button just like that. With Penny Auction sites, you are not signing up for free service, you are signing over personal info and credit card details as you would with any ecommerce site. Make sure you fully understand what’s entailed if you use their services, and for how much- if you have questions, call their hotline directly.

Be Discerning. Penny Auction sites may ask for your identification as an anti-fraud measure. If you’re going for a chargeback or trying for a rebate for one of their services, do note the credit card you used for that transaction. If they ask for your passport or driver's license as proof of your identity, be discerning whether this website is the real deal.

Don’t delay. If you have complaints about a Penny Auction prize shipped to you, don't delay or mull it over, call the hotline on how to return the item or request for a product replacement. Try to get an exchange for an item run within a specific time. If you wait too long, you may miss your chance at returning the item.
