First of all, buyer beware! If your not ready to possibly lose some money, then it is not for you. There are always going to be big bidders out there, so you may as well avoid those auctions. If you only have about 50 bids, bid on the lower auctions such as $25 and under giftcards and 25 bids or less. This should increase your chances of winning. Next, take advantage of Bidback mondays and wednesdays! There are 12 net bids to be gained there. All in all, this is a pretty good site, just be smart and don't get discouraged!
I first saw this site in 2011. And thought hey let me give it a try. I bought a bid pack and used it all until I had won a $50 Walmart Gift Card. I put in my information and pay for the item on top of my bids. They never sent it. I emailed them no answer. Now I know it's a scam. Never used it again. Can't really sued for $50 ~ $100 so just stopped using the service and took it for face value. But do not use this site that is a warning you will rack up $$$problems and will not get your items.
A def 3 if you have the balls to bid over what an item is worth if you dont do not use this site you will lose your loot
Have been a member of BidCactus for several months. Enjoy the site and like the fact they place win limits to allow everyone a fair chance at all items. Lots of gift cards on this site. One thing to beware of is shipping and handling costs even on bid cards. You will often pay more for the S&H then for the won auction. I received one FedEx envelope with 15 or 20 gift cards but was still charged as if each had been mailed individually. When I called to get an explaination I was told that's the way the system worked and they had to buy extra insurance in case FedEx lost my package. They also have a partical buy it policy on certain items if you lose the auction. They wil give you a credit of up to 50% of the value of the bids you used. This is on select items only.
