Tips to Understand DealDash Lingo

DealDash has its own lingo that can be a little confusing when you first start out. Let DealDash translate for you.

“What is DealDash, and how does it work?” are among the most common questions that we hear around the DealDash Tips blog. Well, they are easy to answer, and DealDash Tips blog is always willing to help and explain things to newbie DealDashers. DealDash is a fun internet auction site where bidders purchase bids and use them on auctions to win items. If the person doesn’t win the item then they can buy it at the retail price that’s listed on the auction’s page and receive all of their bids back.

DealDash also has its own little lingo that you’ll need to take a quick lesson on before you get started. Don’t worry, there’s nothing too confusing, and you can always come back here to the blog to get clarification by submitting a comment down at the bottom asking for help. Now, on to your lingo lesson.

Winner’s List

The Winner’s List is a very important tab located at the top of your auction home screen. The reason that the Winner’s List is important is by looking at it, you can see if people are getting great deals at that particular moment or not. There are certain days and times where it seems like there are very few awesome deals to be had. Then, there are other days and times where it seems that DealDash is just giving everything away. Do yourself a favor and check out the Winner’s Tab before you start bidding at any given time.

BIN/Buy It Now

As I mentioned above, DealDash offers a “Buy It Now” or “BIN” option on every single auction. BIN means that you have placed bids in a DealDash auction and didn’t win, but you may purchase the item for retail value and receive all of your bids back. BIN is a very common DealDash word, and you will hear and see it around the site very frequently. DealDash is the only pay-to-bid sites that offer a BIN guarantee. The BIN guarantee is an awesome gift from DealDash. In fact, DealDash was actually started by a person who played on one of those “other” auction sites and lost his money with nothing to show for it.

BidBuddy

The BidBuddy is your friend that you will get to know very well as a DealDash bidder. The BidBuddy is DealDash’s automated bidding tool. The BidBuddy is something that you will (or should!) use every time that you bid.The BidBuddy is available on every auction, to every bidder. You can use the BidBuddy for free and book as many BidBuddies as you would like.

The BidBuddy is the way to win auctions on DealDash. The BidBuddy will place bids for you in the last 2-3 seconds of an auction. All active BidBuddies in an auction will alternate bidding until there is only one player left in the auction. You can place any amount of bids in your BidBuddy and adjust the number or cancel it whenever you like. Almost all auctions are won with the BidBuddy.

Tips to Rule the $3 No Jumper Promotion

Are you ready to rule the $3 No Jumper Promotion auctions today? Read on for some helpful tips to WIN, from DealDash.

Winning an auction during the $3 No Jumper Promotion can be a little tricky because there is so much competition, but you can end up with some amazing deals and bargains during this promotion. Read on for some tips, tricks, and ideas from DealDash on how to get some amazing deals during the $3 No Jumper Promotion.

Get Your Bids in Early

Are you familiar with the $3 No Jumper Promotion? This means that you need to place at least 1 bid before the auction price reaches $3. You have to get your bids in early because if you try to wait until the last minute you will be locked out. Many people are watching these auctions and are planning on trying to bid as close to $3 as they can to save their bids. However, not all of these people are going be able to get in. Some of these bidders are going to be locked out. So get your bids in early so you won’t be one of the unlucky bidders to be locked out!

Don’t Just Put ONE Bid In

One thing that you should keep in mind with the $3 No Jumper Promotion is – people often just put in a few bids to get in under the $3 limit, and then don’t return. Or, they might return too late after the auction has already ended at a low price. This is something that you need to keep in mind. Just because the promotion is $3 that doesn’t necessarily mean that the auction will even reach that amount before it’s over.

Use the BidBuddy, Always

It doesn’t matter if it’s a regular day or a special day like the $3 No Jumper Promotion – using the BidBuddy is a must to win. The BidBuddy is a great tool that DealDash gives (free of charge) to all bidders, that you can put in as many or as few bids as you like. You can cancel it or add more bids at any time. Your BidBuddy will alternate bidding with the other BidBuddies that are set until there are no more bids placed from BidBuddies or other bidders, and whoever has the last bid in before the clock runs out is the winner.

DealDash Tips to Win Memorial Day Auctions

Memorial Day is tomorrow, are you ready for some great DealDash auctions and sales? Read on for more information.

Memorial Day is tomorrow!! Memorial Day is a day on which those who died in active military service are remembered. However, did you know that Memorial Day wasn’t always celebrated on the last Monday in May, but rather on May 30? No matter what day that Memorial Day is officially observed on, though, you know that there will be some amazing deals to be had on DealDash!

Memorial Day Facts

Memorial Day didn’t become a Federal holiday until 1971.
It is customary on Memorial Day to fly the flag at half-staff until noon, and then raise it to the top of the staff until sunset.
Taps, the 24-note bugle call, is played at all military funerals and memorial services.
The World War I poem “In Flanders Fields,” written by John McCrea, inspired the Memorial Day custom of wearing red artificial poppies.
Memorial Day Weekend is huge for travel – 39.3 million people plan to travel over the holiday weekend this year.
Speaking of travel, 88 percent of Memorial Day travelers will be getting to their destination by car this year.
Although not as popular today, one Memorial Day tradition was to eat a picnic meal while sitting on the ground of a cemetery.
Memorial Day also marks the beginning of the summer vacation season while Labor Day marks the end.

How Can You Get a Great Memorial Day Deal on DealDash?

The only way to get a great deal on a DealDash auction is to bid, of course! For today, Sunday, May 28th, the bids on DealDash are only .13!!! This is an excellent time to stock up on bids, however, it’s possible that the prices might go even lower tomorrow on actual Memorial Day – You’ll just have to wait and see!

There’s also an excellent DealDash promotion going on right now called “Free Auction Weekend.” This is a bit of a misnomer, though, if you win an auction you will be charged 1 penny. This 1 penny is a transaction fee and applies to all free wins.

Free auction weekends are a great time to get a deal because you can set as many BidBuddies as you like with the number of bids to reach the BIN (Buy It Now) price without having to worry that you will go over the value. Setting a BidBuddy is the only way that you’re going to win auctions with any regularity. The BidBuddy truly is your best buddy when it comes to DealDash auctions!

DealDash Tips for When the Auction Ends

Alright, you’ve figured out how to bid and win. What goes on next? Here are some tips from DealDash.

The most difficult part about participating in a DealDash auction is winning, but you’re not totally done even after the fireworks have gone off and you see your name up on the screen. There are just a couple of more things that you have to do to make sure that you receive your item safe and sound. Here are some tips and instructions from DealDash on how to make your win a success.

Is Your Information Correct?

After you’ve won an auction, it’s a good idea to go into your account and make sure that all of your information is correct. Do you have the correct credit card, debit card, or Paypal information on your account? Is your billing and shipping address correct? Does everything look exactly right? It’s important that you double-check these things, because you wouldn’t want your shipment to be lost or delayed because of a small typo.

Pay for Your Auction

When you have made sure that all of your billing and shipping information is correct, it’s time to pay the final auction fee. Just click on over to your DealDash dashboard and click on the “Won Auctions” tab. There you will find any auctions that you have won that have an outstanding balance on them. Just click on the “Pay” button and you will be taken to the payment screen. From there you can choose to pay with credit, debit, or your Paypal account.

You Can Make a Screenshot

Personally, whenever I win an auction I like to make a screenshot. This way I know exactly when I won, what the product was, and most importantly – who I beat. This information can be extremely useful in the future. I have never had any problems with DealDash delivering the wrong item, but everyone makes mistakes, so I like to be prepared.

When you think about it, DealDash is amazing – I have had approximately 5 misdelivered packages by Amazon this year, and zero this year from DealDash. Actually, I have only ever had 2 misdelivered packages by DealDash, ever. And when I contacted customer service they promptly resent the packages to me. Now that’s service!

Shipping and Tracking

DealDash always provides free shipping on all items on their website, which includes both WINs and BINs. Each and every item will arrive brand new, in the original box, and covered by the original manufacturer’s warranty. I once had a problem with an item that had been damaged in shipping. I emailed DealDash customer service and they said that I could just take it and exchange it at Wal*Mart. My Wal*Mart didn’t have the particular item, so they let me exchange it for something similar instead. No problem!

After your item ships, you will be able to track it on your dashboard. This is only true for goods, not gift cards unless the value of the gift card is over $250. If you’d like to see your tracking number on your item, just log-in to your dashboard and click on the “My Orders” tab and you will see all of your orders.
