I was just reading the reviews to this site and was quite surpised to see someone below refer to my user name. I have been a regular on Bidcactus for several months now and can assure you that this is no scam. Of course you're going to lose some money at first- there is a learning curve to most everything. I have won a good many items and have gotten them in a timely manner, but also have issues about the shipping charges. They will charge over $5 for shipping on each giftcard won, then ship several in the same folder. I've gotten 8 in one folder before, so that means that they got to keep the shipping charges for the other seven- around $40.00! Another thing to remember is to be careful when you recomend this site to another person. Make sure that they understand to not make their username similar to yours. My son and daughter saw how much fun I was having with this and signed themselves up with very similar usernames. Evidently Bidcactus doesn't censor names when they're first submitted, which I find very unprofessional, but will come back later demanding changes. Having to change your username could put you at a disadvantage if you're already established.
