I-bidder?

Hi all,
Anyone have experience buying through auction site I-bidder? I've had a quick look at a few of their auction listings and quite interested in making some bids. Only thing is its not clear how the items are paid for, shipping etc. I checked a couple of items and it seemed to suggest in the T&C's that payment had to be made on the day of purchase direct to the auctioneer, but it also says credit & debit cards are not accepted and delivery has to be arranged by contacting each auction house directly. If thats the case it sounds like it would be easier to just bid online directly on the auction houses website rather than going through I-bidder??
Any feedback please
Thanks

You can't bid directly. You pay the auction house, which has a 3% premium to pay Ibidder. You arrange payment and shipping or collection directly.
It's a mugs game, unless you are buying bulk items worth a lot.0
