BidSauce

DO NOT REGISTER WITH THIS SITE! I didn't find out until after I had registered that they had charged my credit card for what looked like free bids. I figured out that I was just a sap that didn't read the fine print. But the worst was yet to come. Since I had already sunk some money into it I bid on - and "won" - a Kindle. That was on 10/12/10. As I write this on 2/17/11 I still do not have it. Their customer support people patiently told me there was a problem with the supplier and that they could not provide a ship date for my Kindle. Today they said that a third party is holding my money and will not release it to them to purchase my Kindle. They have effectively robbed me of my money STAY AWAY!

Your comment: Your comment: This is a terrible company. First this whole penny bid thing is a racket, it cost $1 to even place a bid, so your money goes really fast. I didn't win for a long time, but when I did Bidsauce charged me an inflated amount for shipping and handling of a gift card - $7.29. Then I NEVER received the card. Numerous attempts to reach the company and finally reached them by phone. Excuses ranged from "vendor issues" to "back log". Whatever, my credit card was charged immediately and I never received anything after 3 months. A gift card does not take 3 months. Be warned that they will tell you they have a "no refund policy", so they will do nothing to help you. They promise you will get it, but how long is acceptable to wait? This company needs a better customer service policy other than oh well, you won, we didn't guarantee a prize. So I guess if you get it after a year, they met their obligations. Very frustrating, time consuming rip off so far for me. Filed a dispute with my credit card company, everyone should.

Order #*******, here is the order # of the $50.00 gift card I won and it was for a BEST BUY gift card which in total, I paid w/ shipping is $8.00 with their outrageous shipping. I purchased their item on 12/21/2010 and it has now been 12/28/2010, I cost me like: $29.95 w/100 bids. I used them all up and just got this gift card. I have a feeling they do have robots bidding like 100 times on 1 item. I do recommend this, though. File a charge back with your credit card company/bank account, the bank will not charge you for the fee to file. I'd file it get your $29.99 back and the price you paid for it. At least when I signed up for Quibids.com, 100 bids for $48.00, when I won and paid for it, they sent it and got here within 3-5 business days. At least their customer service is better. I will never ever sign up for any penny auction because it is too good to be true, at the end you will probably pay retail price or maybe even a little more. As a consumer, I want everyone to get your money back, because who wants to give money away even if its just like $40.00!

Just a word of wisdom, if you buy from a site. You want it to be a SECURE website, meaning that it has been checked and verified as legitimate and can be trusted. You can find this in the browser address box, where the website address goes. It should read "https..." Notice the "S", this means that it is a "SECURE" website and can be trusted readily. Website companies have to have special approval for this to be approved and given. BIDSAUCE.COM, although it says that they are a "secure" site, does not have an "https" to verify it. Check out a few of your favorite sites that deal with money or deals with entering personal information, and you will immediately know what i'm talking about. Words of wisdom from a tech nerd. I hope that this clears up any misconceptions and skepticism about this and any other website. (an example of a secure website would be, "paypal", or portions of "ebay" where when you click on register, you immediately see in the address bar that it switches from, "http" to "https". This tells you that, it is secure, and has been verified as safe by the "web Gods" so to speak.

BAD NEWS, thieves rotten horrible scam SCAM serivce actually wrote my congress man to get this looked at and shut down. Leave it alone unless you wish to get ripped off. Don Lupre is more honable than the administrators / owners of this website. Total rippoff, save your money! Ebay is at least an auction site this is some kind of ripoff site for fools and I was a fool (once!) Nixon was more honest than these guys... should be banned for life from the internet. Hope some district attorney somewhere is investigating these guys! BAD NEWS and anyone siding with them probably works for them... SCAM CON ARTIST is too good a title!

PLEASE DON'T BE LURED INTO THIS
BIDSAUCE.COM. THEY TOOK $149.00 OUT OF MY BANK ACCOUNT INSTANTLY. I HAD TO CALL MY BANK AND CHANGE MY DEBIT CARD NUMBER AND WAIT FOR A NEW ONE.

I NEVER EVEN GOT TO BID AND WHEN I TRIED TO READ THE AGREEMENT MY COMPUTER WOULD SHUT DOWN FROM THEIR SITE.

I CAN'T GET MY MONEY BACK,... SO THIS IS TO WARN EVERYONE THAT THEY WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY THE FIRST THING,... AND YOU WON'T GET IT BACK.

I CONTACTED THEM BY EMAIL,... AND THEY SAID, THEY WOULD REFUND $40.00 BUT THE AGREEMENT WAS THAT IT COST $149.00 TO JOIN AND GET POINTS. I TOLD THEM THAT I NEVER GOT TO READ THE AGREEMENT THAT WHEN I TRIED TO CLICK ON THE AGREEMENT THAT IT WOULD SHUT DOWN THE SITE AND MY COMPUTER WOULD SHUT DOWN.

I LEARNED MY LESSON. IF SOMETHING SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE IT IS!.
PLEASE KNOW THAT. BIDSAUCE.COM IS AFTER TRUSTING PEOPLE. DON'T LET THEM GET YOUR MONEY,... THEY ARE SCAMMERS!

Let me join so many others in saying this is a SCAM.
I finally won a bid for $75 Walmart gift card plus a $50
Red Lobster gift card. I waited patiently for three weeks
To receive my two gift cards. Then I tried bidsaauce's
Customer service which took another week to reach. I am
Still waiting and it has been two months and still no
Gift cards.
THIS WEBSITE IS A SCAM AND SHOUD BE INVESTIGATED. I want
All of my money back! I have been warning anyone who
Will listen: DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY AND TIME ON THIS
WEBSITE OR ANY SO CALLED "PENNY AUCTIONS"

BEWARE OF THIS WEBSITE, AS IT IS A SCAM. I WON MY FIRST AUCTION ON JULY 28, A $50.00 GIFT CARD. SINCE THEN, I HAVE WON OVER 20 SIMILAR CARDS, BUT HAVE YET TO RECEIVE THE FIRST ONE IN THE MAIL. THAT IS OVER SIX WEEKS. THEIR ADVERTIZING STATES YOU WILL HAVE YOUR ITEM IN 2 WEEKS. I HAVE CONTACTED THEIR ON LINE CHAT TWICE, ONLY TO HAVE SOME FOREIGN MORON HAND ME EXCUSES ABOUT THE VENDORS RAN OUT OF GIFT. CARDS. "RIGHT". I CALLED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE, AND ASKED TO SPEAK TO THE MANAGER, AND GOT THE RUN AROUND ABOUT THE MANAGER WAS ON THE OTHER LINE, AND COULD NOT TALK RIGHT NOW. THE SERVICE REP. ASSURED ME SHE COULD HELP, AND TOLD ME THE SAME STORY ABOUT GIFT CARD SHORTAGE. WHEN I TOLD HER THAT WAS A BUNCH OF CRAP, AND LET ME TALK TO THE MANAGER, SHE TOLD ME SHE WOULD HAVE HER CALL ME BACK. YOU GUESSED IT. NO CALL BACK. ALSO NO ANSWER TO E MAIL REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE. SAVE YOUR MONEY FOLKS. THIS SITE IS A SCAM,

I usually don't write reviews but feel i owe it to everyone else not to allow themselves to be SCAMMED like i did. They take a fee first off and you can't get it back and then i bid on a card since they already took my fee and i had 100 bids to use up and won the card (in aug 2010) paid 50 for the card and i still have yet to get the card and when i call or try and contact anyone they basically say" to bad"... DO NOT GO TO THIS SITE IT"S A SCAM I"VE BEEN SCAMMED ON THIS SITE PERSONALLY AND WOULD HATE FOR OTHERS TO GO THROUGH THIS!

Joined in October for$149.00 unknown to me, bid on and won three prizes. I have already emailed customer service once and received the old "we're backed up and you will receive an email when your items ships. I have received no other contact from the company, though they took my money (and others) fast enough they are irritatingly slow. Their customer service is almost nonexistant. It's not really the $149.00 because even though they use underhanded marketing to get it by placing it at the bottom of the screen when they tell to "submit registration now" about mid page. What does irk me is the fact that I followed their shady rules won and PAID for prizes with exorbent shipping fees and now they won't honor their end and send the products. I have watched this site with great interest since my no-show prizes and this company is making money and still ripping people off. What they are doing is called stealing in many of the 50 US states and you can go to jail for it. I will update again about these crooks as they send me more bologna.

I have only had the HONOR of bidding at Bidsauce for 2 months. I was never charged for anything and I won a bunch of gift cards. I have been waiting to get a charge or even the cards for 2 months, but nothing. A few days ago I received a letter from them and they said they made a mistake and had some problem with their billing. I was told in this email that I would have to pay $220.00 all at once and they would send my $150.00 worth of cards and for my trouble I would get 150 bids. I had the money when I was bidding and knew what I was spending, but now they want the whole thing in one lump sum, which I refuse to do. They lost my faith and business when I didn't get any information on my bids and my money for 2 months. I am not happy that they would give me BIDS... Big Deal! I can have fun SPENDING the AIR and getting nothing! I really dislike these people and would NEVER do business with them again. I am just warning those who may have spent money on bids with them and won NOTHING. Don't expect ANYTHING!
