I had a very disappointing experience with a storage auction through this company.
I won auction **311H** and paid the full amount of **£3.872**, which according to their own terms creates a legally binding contract. I then arranged collection, including hiring an additional vehicle, paying a colleague £200 to assist, and taking a full day off work.
When I arrived to collect the unit, I was informed that the sale had been cancelled and that I would be refunded. Shortly after, I discovered that the same unit had been relisted again.
This raises serious concerns about fairness and transparency. There is no clear justification in their terms for cancelling a completed sale after full payment has been made, especially when the unit is then relisted.
As a result, I lost time and money, and the whole process felt unreliable and unprofessional.
I would strongly advise others to be cautious when bidding, as there appears to be a real risk that even after winning and paying, the sale may not be honoured.

Thank you for giving us your feedback.
As per our email response to you, we have acted in accordance with the terms and conditions of our website. These website terms were the same terms you agreed to when you joined our platform.
As per our T&C’s we are not the sellers of the units; we provide the platform on which sellers list their auctions. As such, any decision to withdraw an auction is made solely by the seller and is unfortunately beyond our control. It rarely happens that auctions are cancelled, but it is the seller’s right to cancel an auction up until collection has taken place and it is allowed on our website.
We never sent you the confirmation that the auction had been won by you, and that you should contact the seller to arrange collection. Our T&C’s state that buyers are “strictly prohibited from traveling to the storage facility prior to receipt of the official "Winner Email" and confirmation of collection from the Seller”. "Traveling to the facility before receiving these two forms of confirmation is considered a breach of contract".
iBidOnStorage has acted in accordance with our terms and conditions at all times and has not made any errors in this instance. Your review is unjust.

Hi Stefan, thank you for your message. As explained on our telephone call with you earlier, the email was sent to you because there is a Cleaning Deposit still outstanding on your unit. We cannot release the unit to you until this deposit has been processed on behalf of the Seller. For security reasons, your account was automatically locked and will be reactivated as soon as the matter is resolved.
We look forward to welcoming you back on the platform shortly.
All the best,

Hi Steven, thank you for your feedback and your continued patronage of our platform.
We always aim to provide a seamless service, and we’d like to clarify a few points from your review to help address your concerns:
1. "...not sure if they are the ones that inspected each unit prior to the sale???"
Answer: No, iBidOnStorage does not inspect or handle any of the items in the units. We are not the Sellers of the goods and do not have access to the units. The storage facilities themselves are responsible for uploading the auctions and managing the contents.
"All the boxes had all been gone through on questioning this was as told its procedure."
Answer: Transparency is important to us. Many of the storage facilities listed on iBidOnStorage are members of the UK Self Storage Association (SSA UK), which requires them to follow strict guidelines. This includes conducting inventory checks to ensure that no illegal or harmful items are included in the units. The process is in place to serve both the original owners and the auction winners.
We always recommend that buyers bid based on what they can see in the auction photos and descriptions, rather than what they expect to find in the unit.
Once again, thank you for your feedback, and if you have any further questions or concerns, our Customer Support team is here to help.
Kind regards,
The iBidOnStorage Team

iBid's Failure to Cooperate & Shielding the Seller
iBidOnStorage is actively shielding a seller involved in selling stolen property and is refusing to cooperate despite legal and police intervention.
🚨 The Legal Case & Supporting Evidence
A legally binding court judgment (Case No: M7QZ5424) was issued on February 12, 2025, confirming that Access Self Storage unlawfully sold my property.
The stolen items were later sold through iBid to a trader called Nassim Bessi / NY Best Deals Ltd (Company No: 15418654).
The matter is under active police investigation (Metropolitan Police Report Ref: 01/7101693/25) and Action Fraud inquiry (Ref: NFRC250207160350).
eBay has also acknowledged the issue and has requested police confirmation before removing the stolen items from sale (eBay Case Ref: 1-490696986465).
❌ iBid's Failure to Cooperate & Shielding the Seller
Despite overwhelming evidence and an official court ruling proving the sale was unlawful, iBid:
🔹 Refuses to provide the seller’s contact details, obstructing legal action.
🔹 Ignores multiple formal requests to assist in resolving the case.
🔹 Makes excuses rather than ensuring their platform is not used for illegal activity.
🚨 Why This is Serious:
iBid facilitated the sale of stolen goods—and now they are covering up for the buyer instead of helping.
Their refusal to cooperate raises serious ethical and legal concerns about their business practices.
If they allow stolen property to be sold through their platform without any accountability, what else are they allowing?
🚨 Potential Customers Beware!
If you buy from or sell through iBid, you should ask yourself:
🔹 Are you really getting a fair and legal deal?
🔹 What happens if you unknowingly buy stolen property?
🔹 Will iBid protect criminals while leaving you to deal with the consequences?
A legitimate auction house should be transparent and responsible, NOT protect individuals selling stolen items. iBid has proven they do not care about ethical business practices.

**FAKE REVIEW ALERT**
We have no record of this user on our platform. However, we take all feedback seriously and are happy to address the concerns raised by this reviewer:
First, regarding the concerns about "bots" – iBidOnStorage.co.uk does not use automated bots for bidding. All bids placed on our platform are made by real users. While it’s possible for some auctions to see dramatic increases in bidding amounts, this can happen when there’s high demand for a particular unit, and is part of the competitive nature of our auctions. We recommend placing bids early to avoid last-minute increases, but we understand this may not always be ideal.
As for the currency issue, we’d like to confirm that iBidOnStorage.co.uk operates in GBP (£), not USD. If you're seeing prices in a different currency, it could be due to the settings in your browser or payment method.
Regarding the comment about auction descriptions, we strive to provide detailed and accurate information for all of our listings. Additionally, it is illegal to list auctions in the UK where buyers are not fully aware of the contents of the unit. Furthermore, as members of the UK Self Storage Association, we are committed to complying with their requirements, which explicitly prohibit blind auctions on our platform. If a buyer feels any unit lacks sufficient details, we encourage them to reach out to our team or the Seller before placing a bid. We're always happy to assist.
Again, we appreciate all feedback and will continue to work on improving the user experience.
Best regards,
iBidOnStorage.co.uk Customer Support

This is a fake review. We have no Paul Nowak registered on our website.
However, if you are concerned about anything please take a look at our website www.ibidonstorage.co.uk and you will see all auctions are genuine abandoned goods. We sell for the largest national storage brands in the UK. All sellers show their brand and location. These sellers would not risk their reputation by removing items from units. It would result in a litigation and reputational risk. These seller's are only interested in clearing unpaid units as quickly as possible.
Grant and the team @ iBid are brilliant! Always impressed.
Grant and the team @ iBid are brilliant operators - fast to respond to queries, very approachable too!
iBid works really well, great number of bidders and interested parties - clearly marketed very well, which is great to see!
Always impressed with the setup, and how it benefits both the seller and the buyer in equal measures -
Fast to pay out - fair on terms too, always know where we stand !
Saved us fortunes in disposals and man power to clear units, helped keep items out of landfill & a great opportunity for the bidder to grab a bargain!

Warning
I like the idea but the website is so terrible. I've never used a terrible site like this. It constantly crashes and it's impossible to reach the website owners. They never respond to emails. I think it might be a scam.
Response to the reply from iBidOnStorage. My name is obviously not Erick. The reply you just gave us tells me how serious your business is when you can't figure out that I'd use a fake name. Didn't matter. I got suspended anyway.

Hi Erick,
Firstly, we do not have a single Erick registered on our website so this is a fake review.
However, it has given us the opportunity to say we are constantly striving to improve our website for the best possible user experience. This positive user experience, has seen our social media following grow to over 25,000 in the UK alone and we now have more than 15,000 registered bidders too. We have also sold more than 5,000 storage auctions to date, for the largest storage operators in the UK! Come give it a try, and you will not be disappointed.
Our email address is info@ibidonstorage.co.uk and we will respond to every query within 2 hours (working hours), so please put us to the test if you have an issue.
Yours Sincerely, iBidOnStorage Management
Highly recommend for abandoned storage units
I have been using Ibid for about 8 months and have won about six different auctions in that time. I would highly recommend this website. The process from viewing the different units up for auction, to bidding and then the process afterwards is all very slick and simple.
The communication with staff after winning an auction has been great with staff very helpful.
I plan on using this site as a means of making extra money in addition to a day job for the foreseeable future.
My only suggestion for them to consider is that from the point where you win an auction you have two days to attend the storage unit and collect the items. The other main competitor for online auctions gives you seven days. If you have a Monday to Friday 8-4 job this makes it difficult to attend if an auction finishes on a Mon/Tue/Wed night. It would be helpful if the two day period was increased to five or seven days. Most people in reality are going to want to go get the contents as soon as they can. But the difficulty is a lot of storage places close at 5pm and if its several hours away from where you live.

Hi AJ, thanks very much for your review. We are very pleased you are enjoying the website and it is a great way to make some extra money! Thanks also for the feedback.
By the way, you actually have 3 days to collect the goods not two. You can also call the storage operator directly and ask for a few more days to collect. They will almost always allow it!
Happy bidding!!
Buyers and Sellers look no further !!
Fantastic, I had a couple of minor issues at my end, but the team at Ibid were superb, helpful and guided me through everything.
