Great, stepping in the right direction. I think setting an overall limit on the number of voucher bids a user can collect at one time would be an even better step. For example, setting a limit of maximum 500 voucher bids piled up at a time; if already having 500 vouchers, nobody really needs to win another 250, do they?

Well, this is a start but I think that maybe it should be longer in between voucher wins on anything 250 or higher than what you have on here... but you did listen to the masses. :)

I think that every change that you have made in the last 60 days has been a positive change for most bidders. One other question that I would like answered is, When I am bidding on an item, say a TV that list for $4oo.oo, eight others can be bidding on similar items and all are grouped together for the auction. Why should someone's bids for a Omaha steak be adding up with my TV bids?

OMG! Thank you thank you thank you Quibids! Finally! Now maybe some of the little people can start winning. And thank you for listening to your customers...

You are trying to help the average bidder on quibids and fail to realize the average bidder has access to ALL auctions whereas the people that spend the most money (and win) are blocked out and see 20% of the auctions you offer (if that). Thus, the average bidder is already way ahead of a "powerbidder" as they can at least see more than 3 auctions valued over 299.99 a day. Not to mention, 799+ items and anything high end and juicy. The smart bidders who win are eventually phased off your site and do not have access to anything. Why is that?
An average bidder needs to spend money to win. It comes with the whole penny auction concept. This isn't the lottery. 90% of the complaints are because you allow new accounts to win with 2 bids because other people cannot see those auctions. Once you win, you are thrown to the wolves essentially where all auctions are visible.
Maybe you should limit gameplays...
Oh - and why does mscars still have access to all?

Thank you so much, QuiBids for taking this action!! I believe it is a strong move towards leveling the playing field. This will definitely bust the monopoly by the few. In a site like this, Inclusion rules; the more the winning is spread around, the merrier! Please accept my heartfelt gratitude for creating this rule! :-)

The change in voucher limits is wonderful! Thanks so much, Q! Finally a modification which benefits the "working class" membership and not just the power bidders! So: onward and upward, right? Next up for your consideration (I hope!) will be putting a cap on the number of limit busters that an individual may utilize in a single month. Right now, with unlimited busters that can either be won or simply bought through BIN, there are members scoring 50 and even 100 and more auctions per month, and that's just not right! What chance have the rest of us got against relentless, non-stop power bidders like these?
In the meantime, thanks for the change in voucher limits---we really appreciate it!
