This is a Scam!
August 19, 2010

This is a Scam! Steals $150 from you just to sign up but you won't know it until the charge posts to your account a couple of days later. SCAM SCAM SCAM!

They are thieves
August 26, 2010

They are thieves. I was told if I entered my promo code I would get 100 free bids. After I entered my code it still wanted my credit card information so I went right to their Q&A page to find out why, and it stated the only reason it needs my card is incase i win a bid it will have my card to charge for shipping and handling. Then 4 days after registering i receive a charge on my credit card for $149 I called them to find out why and none of their phone support members have the authority to help, so i have to email them. I explained to them in an email what happened, and that I am disabled and on a fixed income and I would have never signed up for a site if i knew it cost $149. They do not care they said the site tells you about the $149 charge upon registering. It might if you do not have a promotion code, but when you enter the promo code there is no mention of $149. I never received a receipt or any email mentioning $149. This site is run by a bunch of sneaky corrupt people. When you go to their web site it says three easy steps, register, Bid and receive products. In small writing at the bottom of the page it mentions the $149, so even if you were signing up without a promo code you could easily miss where it claims $149. The site is set up to trick people into not seeing the charge. They do everything to hide the $149 charge. I have never been on a site that doesn't tell you how much your card is being billed during the sign up/check out process. They don't. The worst part of the whole thing is I contacted them the second i saw the charge, it was obvious I had no intention of joining the site if i knew about the $149 sign up fee, and all they say to me is too bad you paid and that's it. I never even used the site so basically they are charging me for no service.
