Evil... thieves. Outright robbery. When you visit the page, you see many auctions going on, apparently where people are winning things like flat-screen HDTV's for mere pennies. When you try to navigate to another page within the site, you are offered to register... simple enough... they request your credit card info, just like eBay... then, poof! They inform you that you have 100 bids... each of which costs a dollar. Yes, they just charged your credit card $100, like it or not. Then you get inside the site, and surprise! The auctions are almost impossible to win... I do not know if there are actually other human users participating, or if it's all just fake... but either way, it's a terrible fraud... (and of course there's no customer service phone number, and emails requesting a refund are totally ignored...). Owners of the site ought to be thrown in prison.
I need a notebook to refer to for usernames and passwords. For some reason I had the password but didn't remember the username. I tried starting a new account, no luck. I wrote to consumer support but received my password only via e-mail. I thought it might be fun to try but if they can't even help with login, then to my way of thinking what else are they lacking!
I opened an account several months ago, and was very dissatisfied with the products offered for bids. I never saw any items(ipods, ipads, etc) to bid on usually just the cases for them or earpieces. I finally would bid on bid cards to increase the number of bids I had. After accumilating about 350 I waited several months hoping that some quality items would appear. One week ago, I decided to try, but could only get to the page where I would have to pay $99 to create an account( I already have an account). I intend to cut my losses and not deal with them anymore. STAY AWAY FROM THESE GUYS!
I did not have an experience due to these reviews THANK YOU for helping me stay away and losing my VERY sparce holiday fund I have this year!
Thank u all for sharing your online experience with savebig.com. I think i will give it a miss. Cheers
I saw this website while I was searching for a watch. I looked on it and it looked fairly interesting. The site would not let me view the Auction until I signed in. I forst read on the site that it was free to sign up. I (stupidly) entered my CC number. Classic bait nad switch! They immediately charged my card $99.00. I did not get anything! I got off immediately and tried contacting the site. The operators passed the buck and said that I would be reimbursed in24 hours. They kept stating that they have wonderful customer service~BS! It has been three days and to no avail, no return of my money! Don't get caught in this site's trap!
Part of the registration process asks for your card information... The site presenting itself as a website such as ebay, amazon, etc. thought nothing of it and when you hit submit it instantly charges your account $99.00. The site has no confirmation screen or any notification that by clicking register you are you going to be charged.
I signed on to the SaveBig site, got my free(?)bids Bid on several point cards then had to leave the site. A week later I decided to go back and continue on the site. There is no way to log into the account that I had created. The site goes dead, tells you that your information belongs to an established account(NO KIDDING). Then, after an hour of trying, I tried to log off the site! No way! Some insert says wait for a "chat". Burned once, not ever again.
Went on this penny auction site not enough auctions going on to bid on don't see how you could win have to stay on forever prizes are not good don't waste you $$$ on this site expenseive bids ea also- try qbids
I think. This website pretty much the same like bigdeal.com
I've won $15 lowe's gift card for 31 cents tho'. Which is nice.
BUT. 31 cents is 31 bids x 60 cents = $18.6 (that is how much the company actually make)...
They don't lose money. They gain money.
I was lucky enough to bid just 1 time. Imagine if I am the one who bid 31 times. I actually paid $18.6 for $15 gift card
This website is suppose to allow you to bid on merchandise but when you register on this site it will charge you $99 without you making one bid. The site does say any thing about a fee to register but once you submit your information you are slapped with a charge. Stay away from this site unless you want to pay to bid!
