Auction sites

Don't know if this is the place to ask but here goes...
Has anyone used any of the auction sites advertised on Amazon - Bidwiz etc, had a quick look and it seemed too good to be true...

Are they all they seem or are they not worth it?

Ta.

  • I am pretty sure that these sites are those that charge you for each time you place a bid (hence why they are going for so little)

    Problem with this is it can easily get out of hand and you can end up bidding and bidding (and spending £££'s) and ending up with nothing. Its ok for a bit of fun I guess but I think these are targeting people who are easily parted from their money....
  • This service is a rip off, not recommended. Over charged me, then stated there is a subscription charge plus cost of bids and you oten not win anything and therefore no product. You are not guarented to get anything. I spent £28 then got charged another £59.99 subscription, won no product either. That is a lot of money wasted. I had complained about this and had an email back telling me to read T & C's. Strangely enough, the T&C's had just ben updated prior to sending me the info to cover themselves. If you wn a product, you buy at that price plus the subscription and bids. Can cost you far more than buying in shops. Totally avoid.
