Unwiredbuyer.com is currently having a promotion where if you sign up with them, and place a bid through their ebay-sniping service, they'll Paypal you $20. They're an affiliate of eBay. I received my Paypal about a minute after the auction ended. They also have a referral program, if someone doesn't mind me referring them ;)
From wubb:
Just to highlight this
# TO QUALIFY, USERS MUST HAVE AN EBAY FEEDBACK SCORE OF 10 OR MORE (or the user must have been a registered eBay user for over 12 months).

Unwired buyer is legit. The prez of the company is a regular @ arstechnica.com forums Thread (http://episteme.arstechnica.com/groupee/forums/a/tpc/f/599009962631/m/899005235731). I doubt they're out there to steal your login/password

How? I am trying to figure it out. What # do I call? Or text.
AM I just supposed to go bid on an auction like I normally would, and then wait for them to call me? And then after they call me do I have to bid again?
Someone who has done this can you please help!!1!!!

put the auction on your watch list and they will call you when the auction has 1 or 2 mins left. Then you place a bid.
mr ryles

put the auction on your watch list and they will call you when the auction has 1 or 2 mins left. Then you place a bid.
So right now just go to ebay.com and put, lets say battlefield 2 for the xbox 360 on my watchlist. Then they will call me when there are a few minutes left. And at that point I HAVE to bid?
Yusuke-Urameshi-

Yes. The Coupon is for 10% cash back rebate UP TO $25. It is SUGGESTED to use your cell phone, but you can also use your home phone

no just place a bid, then when ther is like 2-3 minutes left in your auction they will call you, and you have to bid again.
mr ryles
05-13-2006, 10:51 PM
well they just called me and I placed a bid, but I was still outbidded. Will I get my money? I wil check my paypla in a few minutes and find out.

Yes.
Also, it took me a minute or a bit under to receive my $20, but then someone posted this in SD's Hot Deals forums and the SD effect kicked in, so it may take longer

mr ryles

Ok it just all worked for me.
They will call you when the auction is down to 2 minutes, all you have to do is place a bid higher than your old one and it works, even if you are still outbidded. I just got an email confirming they will pay me minutes after the end of the auction. In the title it said a $10 payment, but in the email they said they would pay $20. I ahven't actually got the payment yet, just a confirmation saying they will pay me in 1-2 days.

bid on something you kind of want, for me I bid on battlefield 2 for the 360, If I won it then I would say cool I won battlefield 2,but I got outbid so i only get $20 for free. ;)

It would have been nice of the OP to steal the info completely from SD rather than partially. Here's the steps (thx to stasther @ sd):
What to do exactly:
1. Go to http://www.unwiredbuyer.com and on the right fill out the registration. Use the same email as your paypal email when you sign up, because that is where they will send the money.
2. Find an auction that is close to being done and add it to your watch list. Since I only wanted the $20 and did not want to acutally buy anything, I found a car auction that was 5 minutes from being over with a price that seemed to be way below reserve price
3. Go to your Unwiredbuyer account and click on "Update Auctions," this should refresh your page and display the item that you just added to your watch list. Make sure "Call Me" is checked on the item.
4. Wait for a call from unwiredbuyer. My call came within a minute of me clicking "Update Auctions," there was only about 4 minutes left when they called me
5. The voice will tell you what auction it's calling about, how much time is left and what the bid is it right now. Then it will give you an option of placing the lowest possible bid, which is what I did. I did win the auction, but the reserve was not met, which is good,
6. You will get an email from support@unwiredbuyer.com confirming that you have used their service and now can get your $20. Follow the link in the email, to confirm.
7. You're done! The money was in my PayPal within minutes of me clicking the confirmation link.
yeah this works, I got the $20 within 2 hrs
mr ryles
05-14-2006, 12:01 AM
I stil haven't got my payment yet, but in the confirmation email it says it will take 1-2 days so I will give them the 2 days before I complain.
dastly75
05-14-2006, 12:08 AM
it will probably take up to two days as a ton of people on the SD forum have jumped on this as well
gofishn
05-14-2006, 12:18 AM
Yeah I just checked out SD, almost 15,000 people viewed the thread...thats a whole lot of $20 payments.
mr ryles
05-14-2006, 12:19 AM
I think the best thing to do is find some cheap game manual or something, that way if you win it will only cost a few bucks.

Wow i seen this thread when it was new and figured it was a scam, maybe I should give it a try. I just got $20 free come back $ from Party Poker and have turned that into $70 and will cash out soon so another free $20 would be lovely!
EDIT: Just tried and I also couldn't get them to accept my id and pw combo...... I changed my Ebay password and will try again later..... As for what to bid on, I was going to just buy one of those $.01 free shipping "feedback" auctions of an ebook or info or recipe or something.

Thanks for the tip, putting the first letter in caps worked fine but logging in like I do to Ebay it wouldn't work...
I signed up then found a car that was well under priced and under the reserve and used that to bid when they called. Waited on the line for the last 2 minutes of the auction and they kept saying i was the winning bidder and then that i won the auction even though I was well under the reserve and not actually a winner. Oh well my $20 confirmation is in my mailbox says 1-2 business days and payment will be sent.
Most importantly password changed! :)
They give $5 for referrals, if anyone wants to sign up under me PM me your email address and i'll invite you and give you $3 when they pay me. Plus you'll get $20 for doing your own deal.

I have 3 referrals showing as "qualified" for the people who I refered who have actually signed up though my invite. Haven't been paid yet but it shows the money is ready to be sent.
If anyone else wants the extra $3 from a referal in addition to your $20 let me know your email and i'll invite you OR use the OP or someone else giving cash back. :)
FYI: YOU HAVE TO BID over the phone. They will NOT let you do buy it now auctions. I was going to do a .01 BIN ebook or recipe but it didn't work because you have to actually place a bid with the service. Search recipe and look for a .01 one ending soon or just find a car under the reserve and bid the smallest amount possible. That's all you have to do, add to your watch list through Ebay, sign up, 2 minutes before auction ends they call, bid, receive email, receive $.

This blows.. I don't think I'm ever gonna see that $20. Been nearly 3 days and still no email, nothing. I had a friend signup and try it out and they got paid immediately too.
I don't know what's up.. I know my email service didn't automatically delete the message as spam, cause the folder was empty and the email they gave me when I first signed up came through fine.

Bid on a $0.01 auction last night (w/free shipping), then placed a $0.06 max bid when they called, lost the auction (it sold for $0.10). Got my $20 today. :D
Pretty awesome deal.

Well it seems like the free 20 dollars has a selective touch to it. I as well as others it seems have not recieved the 20 dollar bonus. I did mine Sunday Evening. While otheres have come and done it in less than 2 hours. Quite the conundrum.
No off topicness intended, but Quackzilla, since when has the value of FF7 non GH gone up so high?!

this is pacific time stardard
----------
1:00AM: signed up for unwiredbuyer
1:30AM: bid on an auction, was outbid, and lost
1:35AM: unwired they will send me payment of $10 in 1 to 2 days
12:30PM: Payment of $20 dollars was recieved.
$10 bucks was really 20, its misleading, but good. this does work =D

EDIT: Hey Quack I had the same problem. Send them an Email. You shuld recieve an Automated Email right after you send it. All you have to do is reply to the email they send you stating you didnt get your $20.00 Paypal. It took them a day to get me my money. Try that. I will PM you this also.

Wow Quack that sucks, it does work though! I've got my $20 sign up and then received four $5 referral bonuses so far and have one more that's "qualified" and they/I should be getting the money tomorrow. All four of those i've been paid for got their $20 plus then got $3 each from me for signing up, the fifth person just did theirs this evening. I got my $20 in less than 2 hours and the referral bonus takes about 1-2 days.
You really should send them an email and tell um you never received confirmation or your money. They have no problem paying people. :D

Thats what your email Address is for. They send it to the same Email you put in.
Brian9824
05-18-2006, 12:32 AM
So what happens if your e-mail address isnt the same as your paypal address?
im sure this is picking up steam with us, fatwallet, and slickdeals so im sure the money is taking a little bit longer than before.
Steggy
05-18-2006, 12:39 AM

go to your paypal account and add a second email with the one that u used to sign up for unwired buyer. Thats what I had to do.

Yea after I did they it took them a Day. Make sure your Spam Filter is turned off. I think that was the problem with mine. But Just yesterday there was an email from paypal stating they sent me 20.00. I didn't have to do a conformation with them.

Signed up the other day, did my auction yesterday, nothing yet. I'll wait a couple days.
It's a neat concept, and I like free. Not sure how much I'll use it, it's definitely slower than being at a computer hitting F5, but if you're not near a computer, it's pretty cool.

It's an interesting service, but I'd rather it function as a bidbot, entering a higher bid with 10 seconds left. And maybe it can do this, but I didn't try using it that much.

Signed up, did the whole bid thing, and got a confirmation email after a couple of minutes. Now to see if I ever get the money...
And sesshoumarusama, are you talking about the email confirmation link? To fix that just put https://www.unwiredbuyer.com/ and then the rest of the link they email you, so it's like this https://www.unwiredbuyer.com/cgi-bin/whatever else/
Also, for you paranoid ones, just changing your eBay password is not enough, their website will still have access. To remedy that, go to Preferences under My Account, and scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page. Then revoke the authorization under Third-Party authorizations. And that should do it.

I just bidded using the phone but then was outbided and then accidently hung up on them... Does that still count?
*edit - Heh, just got an email about it, seems like they're going to send it. YAY!!!
Anyways, once i get it, I have to change my password... I don't like how I had to give that to them still..
Thanks CAG!!! I can't believe I never came here, I had no idea it was a forum about where to get cheap stuff... Always assumed it was a wierd blog even though so many people quote it on GAF.. This place is great!

I doubt there's really anything to worry about with them having your password, but they do call every time you watch something - which can be incredibly annoying.

Just a slight heads up.
I got an email from them today, something about a survey to take dealing mainly with feedback on the service. It said they would send you $10 PayPal for finishing it. Check the email you signed up with, could be a nice bonus.
Example
06-29-2006, 10:10 PM
Yup, got that too. In that same $10 survey, they're giving another $25 to hear about an experience you had with Unwired Buyer (if it's selected).
They're good for the credit. Great find, ya'll.

lol, good question. Likely, though, when a reputable company wants to elicit opinions from users, it's on their dime.
I only used it once for the $20, too, but that $10+ survey came through. It's probably on the way to many more as we speak...

to make sure you guys are all doing it right, remember:
- you cannot bid on auctions outside the US, or any that use forign currency.
- if you don't hear the chick say "bid confirmed", you don't get paid
Also, you have to use the phone bid system to get paid. Bidding on their website won't work. If you are having problems getting them to call you,
- make sure you havent clicked the "go live" button, or "place a bid"
- look for the green phone. If you see the red phone, start over
And, remember the rules; you have to have at least 10 feedback score or 1 year old ebay account to qualify.
Other than that, I guess maybe my $520.00 in referral fees may have something to do with the stoppage.
I'd apoligize, but my Xbox 360 and PSP are soo SWEET!
good luck though. Hope it works for you.

Hi, i don't know if i did this right, do you have to use the service the first time they contact you, or what? What happened to me was they tried contacting me for a few auctions, but i didnt have my cell on. Then when they cotnacting me for another auction, my cell was on but the price was too high. THEN i finally was called about the auction i was waiting for and didn't know if i had to be the high bidder, then loose or just bid so i became the high bidder, but thankfully lost. The funny thing is i was bidding on the information to get this $20 LOL. So is what i did right?
