DO NOT USE BIDFUN.COM! I won an item, chose the Paypal credit, and never recieved ANYTHING! It's been about a month since I won the auction and I have not recieved anything in the mail or in my Paypal account... I've emailed them multiple times and recived no response... I spent $20.00 on bids. Theres a 20 dollar bill I'll never see again... YOU'VE BEEN WARNED! I'm sticking with Quibids... atleast I recieve my stuff when I win...

This site took $350 in bids from my teenage daughter whi thought she would win an iPad for me for Xmas only to lose her money and someOne else won it for $281 what a rip off. I do not believe this other person or the other bidders were genuine and made up by bidfun to extract more money from unsuspecting people. Have lodged complaints with them and PayPal who won't do a thing to recover the money. These operators are to be avoided at all costs. They steal from people and are common thiefs!

Went against my better judgement and thought I would give it a go, since little pop up boxes constantly popping up for Ipad sold for $43.00, Iphone $5.64 etc! Eventhough researching how these penny auctions work thought I would purchase a few bids, mmm - $50.00 worth and try it out... mistake! I decided to bid on a Ipad 2 and Iphone both in the last minute cycle... going going gone but there seems to be no end to the going going gone with a selection of robot bidders obviously bidding Hundreds of dollars from what I could see as well as the site taking bids that don't even register on the item... and you are still paying $1.00 for a 2 cent increment that another 5 people have also paid for... wow, a very clever scam - the going going gone auction for the Ipad is still going 8 hours later. I've used up my bids & definately would not be chasing it... I've cut my losses and stick to normal auctions and not go against my inner instinct next time! I hope people decide to read reviews before they kiss their hard earned money goodbye and fatten the wallets of these very shrewd operators of this type of auction... There really should be a governing body to how this all works, I've never seen an auction or been to an auction where going going gone lasts for hours or even days on end... My Advise would be DO NOT BID! You will be able to get a better deal on BOXING DAY SPECIALS or Shopping at reputable sites and trying your luck on EBAY! Merry Christmas to all :)

Its the most foolish scam anyone could enter, the rules are missleading to common folk. To smart people they can see through it. Read the blogs. You buy points for a dollar and they make you think you are bidding for 1 cent. But that is really One dollar. Then you can't use the points you paid a dollar for the put toward any purchase but whey would you bid for a dollar at a time when you could buy the same item much cheaper from any online store. Don't be fooled by entering and paying and they automatically put you to the 50 dollar option instead of the 25 dollars and you can't take less to even try to work out how the scam works.

First of all, let me say that I'm DEFINITELY NOT connected to the bid fun site in any way. I actually won the iPad 2 (16 GB / 3G+wifi model) that I'm writing on right now, won when I was home in France where I live but using it right now while visiting my family in sunny California. Basically I stumbled upon on that site at some ungodly hour on a Sunday morning, and "feeling lucky" I decided to try it since I had never gambled in my life. After reading the rules carefully, I first spent 37.50 Euros for 50 points. But when my points began to run out I spent another 75 Euros for 100 points. Lo and behold, I actually won it maybe an hour later, using up 98 points with the final 'price' of only 3.31 Euros. And the iPad was shipped to me from the Apple Store some 3 weeks later as had been clearly indicated at the website, as opposed to faster delivery for less 'popular' or older items. (The iPad 2 had just been released at least in Europe at that time hence the backlog.) The long and the short of it is, even if I never bid on another item again (thereby forfeiting my remaining points), my iPad 2 cost me a total of 37.5 + 75 + 3.31 = 115.81 Euros, or $169.31 USD at today's exchange rates. A real bargain as the same iPad sells for $629 + local tax(es) in a US Apple Store, or 609 Euros in the French Apple Store, or 379 Euros at Orange France WITH a two-year contract.

SO, I for one can't say that this website is a scam, though I'd probably not go back there because I wouldn't dare count on beginner's luck or dumb luck again!

Geez. I didn't bid or anything because those prices look way too good to be true!
I got jumped and had my DSi, iPod and my Pokemon game (300 something Pokemon!) stolen. I've been devastatingly looking around for anyone who is willing to sell me one for around $100...
I saw this site and its prices and thought 'no f***ing way...'
Thankfully, I went snooping and found HORRIBLE reviews.
Honestly, it's a great money making idea, but the people making the money aren't us. And we're not getting the product.
The site is just rediculous.

Two words: Complete, and scam. Totally ridiculous. I sat there for about thirty minutes, watching people throw their money away. Every time you bid, it costs you about a dollar, and only adds a cent to the bid, plus twenty seconds. Even when there is like a second left, someone bids a cent, and you have to wait twenty more seconds to see if you win. Even if the clock DOES run down to zero, a word on the screen says, checking...
Just in case anyone wants to make a last minute bid!

For every bid you place, you pay $1 (or 1 point as they politely put it). I placed an automated bid for $50 with 50 attempts... hell, no wonder my money (or points) vanished so quickly. Each bid cost you a $1 but only adds $0.02 to the bidding price... so if your automated bid is $50 with 50 attempts and the current bid stands at $1.54... 50 bids (minis $50 out of your pocket... poof - gone!) will only adds $1 to the current bidding price, making it $2.54... and you've just lost $50 by placing a bid...

Anyone thinking they are getting something very cheap, even if it seams that way - think again. Take my example above, you may think you've bought sosmething for $2.54 but you've actually paid $2.54 + $50 (or how ever many times you've bid on the item) --- This screams of SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM and these people should be STOPPED IMMEDIATELY!

Don't use this site - you're gonna loose your money for sure!
