Stay away from them. They charge you for every bid. Let's say you bid $100.00 on an item and someone outbids you, then you bid $200.00 and you lose to a guy who bids $201.00 You will owe them $300.00 even though you did not win and because you bid twice and together they make the $300.00 This is how most of those sites work, not all the time though. LordsLossThat sounds illegal :lol:

ZumaJones07That sounds illegal :lol: I know it sounds illegal, but they do it anyway lol That is how sites like Beezid work. Plus after you win, they sometimes extend the timer for another minute or so...

LordsLossAre you serious? I knew they charged per bid, but they charge for the actual bid? I thought it was like $1 each or something.

LordsLossNo.....You buy the bids first, then use them. You don't owe them anything because you already paid for the bid. I have used penny sites before, you buy a set of bids and then use them to bid on items, when you run out you have to buy more.

Still not worth it, mostly because it all comes across as a scam because others always seem to have unlimited bids. Made me think bot.

LordsLossI don't think that's right...
They charge you per bid (maybe 50 cents or a dollar), and each tim you bid, the remaining time increases by a few seconds. Each time you bid, the price goes up by a predetermined amount, and the winner then has to pay that amount.
They don' make you pay for the amount you actully bid if you lose. You just pay the small bid fee.

You got it right, but you already paid the bid fee before you made the bid anyway.Please Log In to post.
