on 4/7/16Every big ticketed auction I have bid on has went way up in price. I did not think this site a scam until after the latest thing that happened to me. Now I am sure of it. I have never won an item that is worth $100 or more. I have lost 1000'some of bids and in ways that are definitely shady. The same people win all of the $50 or more gift cards and the same people win the big ticketed items also. I have lost auctions by bidrunner disappearing and auctions where I had 1.00 increments bidrunner running where I place 50 bids can'take lose unless it goes over that dollar right? I mean if it is just you and one other person 50 + 50 is a dollar except somehow my 50 bids ended at 48 how is that possible unless my bidrunner placed 2 bids in a row customer support ignored this when it ask how. Well the best yet just happened. I HAD OVER 4000 BIDS PLACED ON a Capped auction. You are allowed to run 2 bid runners on an auction. I was doing 50 and 100 increments. Now how they take from those bidrunner is random and weird. But one had 1 bid left and the other 47. One minute later I check again figuring the one bidrunner is probably gone now and planning to add another 100 bids. Instead I find the auction is over and I lost. This after 2 days of bidding and over 4000 their bidrunner screwed up again. This is unreal. I feel completely scammed. I had 500 and some bids left in my account now I have 1300 and some. How is that? They gave me 800 some bids back. Why? It was a capped auction. I can't help but think I was just ripped off. Where does giving me 800 bids back make up for the cost I pd for 4000 bids. What can I do about this? This is the 3rd time something like this has happened and each time I had over 4000 bids on an item and each time it was a screw up with bidrunner. How convenient! We need to do something about this but what?
I have no answer for you but had to try to post a comment (not sure they will leave or take it down) because I have had the exact same experience on this site, glad I am not the only one, thought I was losing my mind. I have been on quibids for some time and thought i would give this site a try, Funny thing is I bid against the same bidders! I wish i just stuck with quibids, at least I had a fair chance of winning something! I feel like we were scammed and I wish there was something we could do about it! -michelle
