Bidrack Deceptive practices, Internet

This service is not free, although it is free to sign up.  You have to purchase bids to get started.  They will charge your credit card 99.00 for the first 100 bids.

How can they say something sold for 5.00 (dollars) when if fact it sold for 500 bids.  500 bids cost 500.00 (dollars).  Each bid represents .01 cent, therefore one cent = one bid.  So if 100 bids cost 99.00 (dollars) than 500 bids would cost 5 times that.  All of this is very misleading.  Not to mention a big lie.

Next, if you want to win something big, they say it sold for 105.00 for a computer.  In reality that is 10,500 bids.  Now devide that by 100 and you would see that it equals 105 and multiply that by the 99.00 (dollars that you paid for your bids and you will see that the actual selling price for that computer is 10,395.00.  That doesn't sound like a very good deal to me.

Next, if you happen to bid on some of the cheap things made in China, watches and sun glasses for example, they will sell them to you for just a few bids.  But if you win multiple items you have to pay for each one of them separately and with each one comes a shipping price of 5.99 and up.  So if you do happen to win 5 of these small items they are going to charge you in excess of 30.00 to ship them all separate.  Add that up with what it cost you for you bids and you are better off buying them from Amazon or WalMart.

This site should be placed in the same area as illegal gambling.  It is a big rip off for anyone that uses it and I am suprized that no one has done anything to shut them down or sue them.

If you have the charges on your credit card I would recommend you have them reversed as soon as possible and stay clear of this site.
