This is a confusing site that is similar to be a auction, but the structure is so close that a lot of people that bid in an actual auction know that fee's are paid if you win the item. The fact is your every bid is paid for by you so if you win the item you end up paying the final price & the bids it took to win it so ad up how many bids it took & the winning price that is your total. So they are not helping you save money on so many of the items you win, ( Good Luck)
