Welcome to our Planet!

Planet Bid was launched in early 2009 and has grown to become the premiere destination for fun and exciting shopping online. Being the first of its kind in Australia & New Zealand, Planet Bid was accepted with enormous positive feedback early in the year. After just a few months, the brand was launched in the UK. With plans to continue expansion to other countries, there is no looking back for the rapidly-growing start-up website.

Planet Bid is based on a model known as a “Penny Auction” developed in Europe a number of years ago. Users start by purchasing “Bid Credits” that come in different pack sizes. The more bids you buy, the cheaper they are. All listings start at $0.00 and have no reserve. When a bid is placed on an item, the price increases by only a few pennies and a small amount of time is added. When the timer hits zero, the highest bidder wins the item; usually at up to 90% off retail price!

Every item that is listed on Planet Bid is brand new and comes with our 100% satisfaction guarantee. Also, 10% of the final value of each auction is donated to a charity of the user’s choice.
