Like many thousands of others... I heard about Speedybuys when it was promoted on a morning tv show. I assumed it was reputable because of this.
I signed up because it was free to do so. You had to enter credit card info - I assumed they needed it in case you won an action. It also came with 300 free bids. There was no mention of any charges anywhere.
It took me 3 weeks before I checked my credit card statement and realized they charged me $149! I contacted them and asked for a refund - they said there were no refunds and the $149 charge was clearly listed (which, by the way - now it IS clearly listed - they have since changed the website)
I disputed with my credit card company, who call to talk about it this morning. They also got a customer service rep on the line from Speedybuys to talk with us.
He started off saying the charges were clearly listed, but said he would offer me a $75 refund. Now, I was still really mad and frustrated but I kept calm, realizing that there was nothing I could do against this company and a partial refund was better that nothing at all. So I agreed to that.
My Credit Card company still felt bad and decided to also give me a credit of $30. They are still investigating though and we will see if anything else happens. Or even if I get my $75 refund?
