DealDash is an online bidding fee auction site that was founded in 2009 by William Wolfram, a 16-year-old Finnish entrepreneur. DealDash rewards you for bidding. Every time you are the highest bidder in the auction, you will accumulate some time.
At DealDash, each bid raises the price by $0.01. The auction clock restarts from 10 seconds every time someone bids. If no new bids are placed before the clock runs out, the last bidder wins.
Note that you need to buy bids before you can take part in an auction. Bids are currently on sale for 13¢ each! This small fee makes the massive 95% off savings possible.

Thinking of giving it a try, here is how to do so.
How to bid in an auction
To take part in a bid on DealDash, follow the steps below.
- Find the product you like.
- Click the “Bid Now” Button or the BidBuddy to bid automatically for you.
- If you are the highest bidder when the timer hits zero, you WIN! Note: You can get bids back by clicking on “Buy it Now”. When you lose an auction, you can always purchase the item at the Buy it Now price. It will be delivered within 14 days. Every time you use the “Buy it Now” option, every bid you placed in that auction is returned to your bid balance, so you can try again in new auctions without buying more bids.
Save with BidBuddy
If on the other hand, you are not available to do the bid yourself due to your plans or work, get the BidBuddy to do your bids for you. Simply enter the number of bids you wish to place in the auction in the “BidBuddy” box, and your BidBuddy will automatically place these bids one at a time. It won’t waste your bids – the BidBuddy only places bids at the most optimal times in the auction, ensuring you get as many free bids as possible.
Booking a BidBuddy before an auction start does not guarantee participation in the auction. Particularly in popular auctions, BidBuddies by some users may not have the possibility to place a bid before the No Jumper limit is reached. In these cases, all bids booked into the BidBuddy are returned automatically to the user. To secure a spot in an auction, DealDash advises to book the BidBuddy or place one manual bid after the auction has started and before it has reached the No Jumper limit.
The same item only once per 30 days; all remaining BidBuddies on other auctions for the same item will be automatically canceled at the time of your win.
Up to 50 auctions per week; all remaining BidBuddies on other auctions will be automatically cancelled at the time of your 50th win. You can bid again when the limit resets at 00:00 PST on the day of the week you created your account.
Ensure you plan your bidding strategy with these limits in mind to enable you to achieve your desired result.
