DealDash Tips: Abbreviations Explained

DealDash

DealDash is easy to use but has some abbreviations that can be a little confusing for the first-time user. Here is a list of some of the common DealDash abbreviations and phrases.

When you think of a community you think of people who are similar in one way or the other, right? Maybe they live near each other, have the same hobbies, or a common background. DealDash is its own community with like-minded individuals who love deals and the thrill of an auction. And with any community, DealDash has it’s own little lingo, phrases, and abbreviations that other people might not understand at first. Here are some of the more common ones, from DealDash Tips blog.

No Jumper $3 or $5

DealDash auctions have a $3 or $5 No Jumper limit. This means that you have to get at least one bid in the auction before the auction reaches $3 or $5. The auctions are typically a $5 No Jumper, but there are days here and there that DealDash lowers the limit to $3. These are very popular days to bid. It will be marked very clearly on the main auction home screen when DealDash changes it to a $3 No Jumper instead of $5.

Buy It Now (BIN) the Auction

BIN, or Buy It Now is the most popular abbreviation that we will ever talk about on any of the DealDash blogs. BIN simply means that you have lost the auction that you have been bidding in and are willing to buy it for the retail price and receive all of your bids back from DealDash. You also get the luxury of free shipping as well, with tracking. The tracking doesn’t apply to gift cards, but to all other purchases with BIN, even the smallest or cheapest. After you have decided that you are going to BIN the auction that you have been participating in, then just hit the “Buy It Now” button that you will see either in your dashboard or on the auction’s page if the auction is still live. Once you have paid then the bids will be refunded immediately.

BookMarking an Auction

DealDash has so many auctions it’s hard to remember which auction is coming up. However, DealDash has come up with an easy way to remember what you wanted to bid on. When you are on DealDash and see an item that is coming soon you can bookmark it. Click your mouse on the small outline of a star in the upper corner on the right-hand side of the auction and you have bookmarked yourself an auction. The little star will turn solid, and the auction is now pinned to your DealDash home page.

DealDash Tips to Use Bids Wisely

Using your DealDash bids wisely is very important. If you’re not bidding wisely you’re wasting money.

Do you have hundreds and hundreds of DealDash bids? Great! I’m very happy to hear that you have a wealth of DealDash bids to use. However, just because you have lots of bids to spare doesn’t mean that you should waste them or use them any less wisely than if you only had a few. The more bids that you use wisely the happier you will be. Here are some tips on how to use your bids wisely.

Do Your Research

Bidding wisely means making sure that you really really want the item before you start bidding. If you have put in a few bids while you are looking up the item, and after doing your research decide that you don’t actually want the item, you’ve wasted some bids! Do your research before the auction starts!

Make a Budget

If you’ve decided that you are going to buy 200 bids per week to use on DealDash, then you should plan out how you will use them before the auctions start. Don’t use up your entire budget on the first day, decide what you really want to win on DealDash, and save your bids for that item. If you put your entire bid budget on the one item that you really want instead of splitting up the bids on items you aren’t as sure about, then it makes a lot of sense to use the BIN (Buy It Now) option, purchasing the item so you can get all of your bids back.

Use the Bookmark Option

Don’t waste a bid “saving” the auctions that you are merely considering. Use the “Bookmark” option. Bookmarking is available on every single auction, and will save you many, many bids if you have been saving auctions by spending a bid on them to save them. To bookmark an auction, simply click the little star on the top right corner of the auction on the main page. The star will turn yellow, and that means that it’s bookmarked. Easy!
