Paul. H here
November 18, 2010

Paul. H here. My look into Bidsauce ended the same as Terry K and others. The ad says you can try it for free (50 Bids), yet the next after quitting without liking it, I was charged $149.95. Is this ad free? I called to cancel and they told me I could not execute the free bids without being charged. No indication that there would be a charge at all when I was online, only a charge placed on my credit card after I left. They charged that I had not read the terms and conditions to which no reference was made on the signup page. This site is obviously a fraudulant site and should be closed down. From the previous reviews many persons have been cheated by this site.

Bad, comumication with customer service. Wont call you back, don't e-mail you, just take your money. You read it says free, to sign up. They take 149.95 from your card... times are hard, i can't afford this... sure would bid on items, alot lesser... why can't they just refund money back to the cards... avoid tension with people... dont understand... there is alot of auction site, they are fair... help someone...!

Better Business Bureau can definitely stop these fraudulent activities of Bidsauce. But in order for them to act is to provide them the physical address of Bidsauce. Please log on to www.bbb.org and file your complains.

I don't feel they are honest at all. And I still haven't recieved my article and it's been over 5 weeks. They keep trying to give you more bids. I feel they have their own people driving the bids. Even though in the end it shows you won by a couple dollars and or cents. But when you bid it is costing you 1 dollar for each bid. So it is very disceiving

I followed my email advertisement; I filled in the registration information, including payment methods (I assumed that's for bids). Next I know was presented with a receipt and order #******* for my purchase of 250 bids, Bid sauce Buying Power... costing me $149.95. I was beyond shock, I feel cheated ans misled; what a website confusing; what a SCAM as there was no reading material about this charge. Well, I checked out the site since my credit card account was charged; I used up 157 bids in 45 minutes for a $50 gift card and win nothing; that is equal to $75, a 50% of my total charge. It would have cost much less to purchase a $50 gift card; at least I will have my merchandise. My hard earned money is gone to such SCAM Artist, it is sickenly. I would like this site be investigated, it ripoff customer, they use all kinds of trickery to make you believe it is real.

Stay away from such site... SCAM... SCAM... SCAM

I may be the only one here but bidsauce has been great to me, it takes a little while to get your stuff but so what, If you pay $150 for a bid pack and don't read what your paying for your just dumb. I have won several items and they have been delivered to me and are great. This is a legit website, that is fun, its gambling folks and if you are not prepared to lose then you will be one of these hayseeds on this site complaining but again IT IS GAMBLING GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEADS! WIN SOME LOSE SOME. I have been playing for a while and again have received everything I have won. You do not have spend $150, you chose that bid pack to buy, research a bit first, the amount of dumb people in the world are astounding, there is no fee to "join" but you do have to purchase bids to play. I do not work for the company and am in no way associated with the company.

Biggest scam out there in Pennyland. I won 35 gift cards. 4 months later I called to find out where they were. They said they had 'vendor' problems. After threatening to go to the BBB, a week later I got 33 of them. They charge $7 shipping for each card, but they sent them all in 1 package! So they ripped me off for over $200 in shipping! It's been 6 months and I wm still waiting for the other 2. A month ago I called and they said they would email me a tracking number later that day. It never came so I called again a week later. They said "we have no idea when your cards will be shipped." Starting tomorrow I will do everything in my power to have this place shut down. STAY AWAY!

If you're having enough doubts to research this site then trust your insticts and don't waste your time or you're going to lose your money. It's a SCAM! Use Ebay. At least your money is safe with them...

Run.run.run
December 21, 2010

Run.run.run. BE SMARTER THAN I WAS. I won 2 auctions in November and have yet to receive the merchandise. I called several times and was told that the merchandise was on back order. When I questioned them about why they are auctioning item that are not hand, I never got a answer to that. The customer service is a joke. I am thinking about reporting them to the better business bureau. When I asked for the manager, I was refused the name and the representative also refused to give his name. Run... run... run.

OK, I did not read the fine print... so I ended up with a 149.95 charge when I thought I was just signing up. What a scam!
I had the charge canceled, but this is a fishy business practice at best. Stay away from these people.

I joined about 2am this morning... screwed up by submtting payment info. Checked my account and $149.95 was charged to my card. Did live chat with an operator, I requested cancellation... she said... a request for refund will be submitted. Will see if refund is valid later this week.
This is the first time that I have encountered a business who's goal is to separate one from their money.

DO STAY AWAY... FAR AWAY. Clear your browser cache and set it to "zero"

They charged me $149.00 automatically upon joining just to place a bid and the cost of this bid package was not apparent at all untill the charge was made! This upset me and now, it is Sunday and they have no no phone avilable until Monday - Friday so I guess I'll be charged and have to fight to get my money back... I am ultra-pissed.

I followed a Facebook link to check out this site. Seemed cool. I filled in the registration information, including payment methods (I assumed for bids). I was then presented with a receipt for my purchase of 300 bids... costing me $149.95!
I contacted BidSauce (which isn't easy) and I was assured that I would be contacted within 2-5 business days and I should not have any issues with a refund.
So far, over three weeks later, no contact, my credit card has had three overdrafts ($$$) and has be frozen. BBB can do nothing.
DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH BIDSAUCE.

Had a pop up come on my computer about this auction site. Went to get more info and it asked for credit info to get more info. Next thing you know I'm charged $149. I immediately call my credit card co., Bank America, and ask them if the payment had been processed, and they said no. I asked them to decline the payment hey didn't. Went around and around with both Bidsauce and Bank of America, got them both on the phone at the same time, Bidsauce said they would refund, they didn't, but bank of America still wouldn't credit my card. Bank of America and Bidsauce are both crooks.

When I first saw the site I was like "Wow! Fun!" but it seemed too good to be true. So before signing up I looked for reviews of the site. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! I will have nothing to do with bidsauce! I am so sorry for what you all have been through but thank you for saving me!

SCAM...
December 4, 2010

SCAM... FRAUD... STEALERS... LOW LIFE's... LIARS.

They steal your money, and you never get the items you win. They give you excuses of not having the source of supply, and they will put you on their list for a faster delivery when the item comes in.

Go to your credit card company and tell them you paid for items never received. Even the amount of your bids bought. Because you may buy bids, but you never received them if intent is for you to not receive won items.

Report them to the BBB as I did, and spread the word to family, friends, on facebook, twitter, myspace etc.

It took 3 months, but Utah's Consumer Protection Div of the attorney general's office got my money back for me. The BBB did not, nor did my state's own omnsbudsperson, only Utah's. They actually met with the merchant. It worked. It took time, but it worked. Get the complaint form, complete it, and let them work for you. $149.95 is a lot of money.

I was VERY skeptical but bought the 250 bid package for $149. I won an auction for a Sony 40" TV with Google for $3.04. I did this on December 20,2010 and the TV was delivered on January 13th, 2011. Although their customer service stinks, I did get what i was promised.
