I haven't had too many bad experiences with them since I always received my product - however I am UK based so presumably it is less likely to get lost than an overseas customer.

However, I received a hooded top that was smelling terribly of fish. Even though I used copious amounts of Febreeze to get rid of the smell, it didn't quite get rid of the smell. I didn't really want to wash it straightaway.

I wrote a review mentioning this and it was never published. When I wrote back to ask why they refuse to post my review, I never received a reply - I thought that was bad form. I didn't use any offensive words at all. They probably didn't want the bad publicity.

Another thing that isn't great are the descriptions they provide for their products, and even the images are inaccurate at times.

A scam because all the bidders are Robots created to automatically outbid any possible real bidder. I have proof that it is a scam. If you compare two or more bidfun sites together at any time e.g. I compared the. co.uk and. Com and com.au sites:

- The same Usernames appear for all the Live and Finished auctions
- The Robots use "Automatic" and "Manual" bids that make it look like a variety of people are bidding.
- The number of people online is the same for all bidfun websites! Now isn't that a coincidence? It isn't a real count of online users, just a fake display (which changes to convince you that people are logging in and out).
- The times of when the auctions end are the same time (for a Sony PSP):
--07/06/2010 (European date format) 21:07:37 was won by STEFLOV in bidfun.co.uk at GBP 3.69.
--06/07/2010 (American time format) 04:07:37 STEFLOV won the auction at USD 3.69
--08/06/2010 (European date format) 06:07:37 STEFLOV won the auction at AUSD 7.38

- The trail of last bidders are the same names at the same times.
--STEFLOV (Automatic)
--carpiste13 (Manual)
--STEFLOV (Automatic)
--polipo62 (Manual)
--STEFLOV (Automatic)
--boulou123 (Manual)
--STEFLOV (Automatic)
--boulou123 (Manual)
--STEFLOV (Automatic)
--Pureza64

So definitely you will never win. I am going to close my account now! The inventors of such websites are greedy and deceitful.
