BidSauceReviews 98

I registered for the site for free. Once there i choose a 45 dollar bid package and started bidding but when i checked my account page they signed me up for a 149 package. I sent them two emails to have it corrected because i was only trying out the site i never received a response. I then called and only got an automated system. So i tried to speak to some thru their automated chat and the person there only tried to sell me more bids. I am reporting them to my bank as fraud since i can't get any help from them.

Took my 149.95 and cannot get it back, website confusing to say the least. I did not even know I had spent money until i won an item. They say too bad, they cannot help and i should have read their terms better. You better believe I will slash their name to hell and back. I work hard for my money in this economy and though this looked like a good way to purchase for less... how misled was I... I won a 50.00 gift card that i will probably never get and all it cost me was 149.95. I am beyond ticked off. They were not helpful at all and they are a scam and rip off. Stay away please...

BEWARE OF THIS WEBSITE, AS IT IS A SCAM. I WON MY FIRST AUCTION ON JULY 28, A $50.00 GIFT CARD. SINCE THEN, I HAVE WON OVER 20 SIMILAR CARDS, BUT HAVE YET TO RECEIVE THE FIRST ONE IN THE MAIL. THAT IS OVER SIX WEEKS. THEIR ADVERTIZING STATES YOU WILL HAVE YOUR ITEM IN 2 WEEKS. I HAVE CONTACTED THEIR ON LINE CHAT TWICE, ONLY TO HAVE SOME FOREIGN MORON HAND ME EXCUSES ABOUT THE VENDORS RAN OUT OF GIFT. CARDS. "RIGHT". I CALLED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE, AND ASKED TO SPEAK TO THE MANAGER, AND GOT THE RUN AROUND ABOUT THE MANAGER WAS ON THE OTHER LINE, AND COULD NOT TALK RIGHT NOW. THE SERVICE REP. ASSURED ME SHE COULD HELP, AND TOLD ME THE SAME STORY ABOUT GIFT CARD SHORTAGE. WHEN I TOLD HER THAT WAS A BUNCH OF CRAP, AND LET ME TALK TO THE MANAGER, SHE TOLD ME SHE WOULD HAVE HER CALL ME BACK. YOU GUESSED IT. NO CALL BACK. ALSO NO ANSWER TO E MAIL REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE. SAVE YOUR MONEY FOLKS. THIS SITE IS A SCAM,

After reading what the others wrote, I wanted to help also by sharing my thoughts. After signing up with bidsauce (but not buying anything yet) the confirmation email said to click on a link that went to a sight called "Tiny URL." I stopped everything right there: 1) because the Tiny URL site has caused me trouble before and, 2) a confirmation link should lead back to the original site.

Also, Marya K., if you are in fact a real person, then I apologize. But I suspect Marya K. Is a plant. I look out for things like that one opinion sites; reviews that are written too well and sound just a little too much like commercials. The average person doesn't really talk like that. = /

But thank you all for your reviews.

I feel cheated and misled. It was billed as a penny auction. I bought a bidding package for $85.00 which gave me 85 bids plus they gave me 15 bonus bids. I started with 100 bids total. I soon found out that the pennies were actually dollars disguised as pennies. Example: If you were bidding on a $50 walmart gift card and it was going for $. 17, that was actually $17.00. So, as soon as the $50 card had bids of $. 50 or more it was auctioned for more than it was worth. Of course the cummulative total was from more than one bidder but the non-winner loses those bids. It is not a true acution where you hold onto your bids if you don't get the item.
There are other things I noticed while viewing the site. There were winners who would win multiple items for very small amounts; $. 03; $. 07; $. 09... Those bidders had unusual names that you would just associate with a "bidding" site (i. E. "iwon'tstop") instead of the ususal names you see on most wed sites (ladybug10, beachbum90,...). I think they were plants or owners to make you think the payoff was good but just for those people. Occasionally an "ordinary" person would win a bid but those items would not be the bargain items. They would be things like $100.00 Visa Check CArds and the bids would got to around $4.98. Which translates to realmoney language of $498.00.

The last thing that really gets me about this site is the scroll over. They will charge a click (not always but often enough) if your mouse goes near the bid pad or hovers. When I think of the time and energy I wasted on this site I really get sick. I will never fall for another deal like this again.

This is an auction site where bids cost money. The high bidder wins the auction but also has to pay up to 60% or one dollar per bid. So far I have one five auctions on this site but have yet to receive any merchandise from these auctions. Each time I contact the site and ask where my merchandise is I'm told it's in the mail when in actual fact nothing is in the mail. I would like to request that the site be investigated as a scam.

I really liked the website and was so excited I won for the first time. Its been now been a little over 4 weeks and I have yet to recieve my prize ($50 gift certificate). I did contact them by email and they sent me a fedex link with a tracking number, however, when I check the status of my order on the fedex website w/the tracking number they had in the email I get, "Not Found. No information for the following shipments/FedEx Office orders has been received by our system yet. Please try again later or contact Customer Service." I guess this was a $30 dollar lesson learned! Be careful!
