Swipebids

This is a 100% rip off, they say that if you don't win something on your initial buy in of 250.00 dollars you get more bids. But... be careful because if you buy a bid package of let's say 40 bids they consider that winning. ALSO, by error another 250 dollar bid package was purchased (clicked too many times) when I called them they wouldn't even consider giving it back. Now out 450.00 and no products! STAY AWAY! STAY AWAY! RIPE OFF FOR SURE

SwipeBids did the same to me. I registered and then saw they took $150.00 from my PayPal account. I went back and saw the charge of $150.00 off to the left of the form I was filling out. It was not on the form at all. I went through there "Grantee" procedure to get my money back and at first they said I won something so I can't get my money back. I did not win anything. Then they said that was their mistake and I should expect my money in about 4 weeks. Well I did not see my money and contacted them again. Now they say I have to get my money from my credit card company. On and on this went, finally PayPal being the best to me investigated this situation and refunded me my money, but they never did get their money from SwipeBids. SwipeBids will NOT refund your money no matter what! So consider whatever you give them it is theirs now and you will not get it back no matter what guarantee they have and how precisely you follow the instructions. Mark

I am disgusted. I almost entered my credit card number and then decided to google it first and came across this site. I could not believe the stories I read on here and am thankful I did not enter my credit card number. However, for all the people that were not as lucky as I was to not get scammed, I filed an online complaint with the Better Business Bureau on all of your behalfs. If you happen to read this and you got scammed by swipebids, I encourage you to file with the better business bureau, just as I did, and maybe we can stop these low lifes from scamming anyone else and I enough people file, maybe they can caught and have to pay for what they have done by having to refund money and some jail time.

This site is a site of criminals. Before I understand what has happened they have charged my credit card $150.00. I called my credit card company immediatly, not to transfer any money to them. Swipebids listen to my conversation and tried to interupt the conversation. I have Comcast and Swipebids were able to overhear and spy my conversation. Please don't get into the trap of loosing your money. Can you imagine how much money they make on the peoples sufferings? The prison is eager to have these thiefs locked up.We all need to report to the police as soon as possible!

I bought the bait. How slammed I felt after entering my credit card information for what I thought was if I purchased my $30 laptop, or for shipping costs. Then to see an e-mail "Receipt" for $150. This $150 is for my "free" bids = 300 bids for 50 cents each. A refund after a 90 day review. They sure take your money quickly! I saw a decent review by a TV news program. What a scam. Oh yeah, if you bid just as the time runs out, more time is added on! So no one really wins. Would someone put them behind bars?

This is an absolute scam. When yo register there i no information that you credit card will be charged $139.00. Try to cancel and you must send it in on their form. Suggest that you challenge the credit card and file a formal complaint with both the FTC and your state consumer division.

They are purportedly a British based company. I tried asking them for their corporate name and they refused to give it to me or even what state they were registered in.

I was genuinely interested in this site and was OK with giving it my personal information. After letting my guard down for a minute to "sign up", suddenly I got an email about a new $150 charge for a "one year membership"! I was furious! The online support was no help and only after much searching I found a phone number *******870. After an hour of arguing I was told that my "refund" would be sent in 5-10 days! Even if it is a legit auction site, no company should ever start off a relationship like this. STAY AWAY!

Swipebids.com! It's real scam, like a Monster. Easily you can spend 1000 bucks easily without merchandise.

Ex. When you participate this auction, they took out member fee $159 from your VISA automatically. And If they $ 1000 LCD TV put on auction, they robbed maybe $ 500 easy until auction finished from you and other customers individually, win or not. Because you should buy bid money minimum $150.00.
Never start this dangerous game, it's really crook. Never! Never!

Really sad, I almost fell for it. I clicked through to swipebids.com from a banner ad in Alexa and came to the home page. I watched a video on the home page and proceeded to register. Registration seemed fishy, too much information sought. I went deeper into the site and found some terms. Automatic $150 charged as soon as I complete registration? Not in the site terms. They are not supposed to charge in advance for bids I might place later according to their terms but it's all stuff that doesn't really seem real. I joined because I wanted to SELL stuff. Now I'm at OA Marketplace & eBay and it's all legit. Sad that FTC hasn't stepped in yet with so many complaints.
