    It's another bid fee site, and they are closer to gambling than an auction. You are 99.99999% guaranteed to lose money. Stay away.

    Stay well clear.
    there was a thread on here about them but it was since removed.

    stay away, it's a complete ripoff. It's impossible to actually win anything and each bid costs you 50 cent. It's a well put together site, looks very professional, the prices are very enticing, but don't be fooled that you can win - you can't. I watched one auction where one person had a robot set up which automatically outbids all bidders. I watched that robot spend at least 150 Euro on an item advertised with a retail price of 290 Euro and that bidder did not win. But my guess is that most people lose their money by dabbling 5 or 10 Euro before they leave with nothing and only then realise that it's a ripoff.

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE... STAY AWAY FROM THEM!!!!!

    I joined and I stayed up all night to check their dealings, and I can prove that they are 100% scam. Absolute scam run by scumbags.

    You bid and bid, you NEVER win. I then check the winner's details and the final bid amount, they actually put it lower. They are the biggest scammers and I feel sick for letting these bastards part with my money. Worse of all, I contacted them for an explanation and I got no response back.

    THIS IS THEIR DETAILS, PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THEM!!!

    I went on Bid Fun three weeks ago and was amazed when I actually won a wii console. However, I should have known better than to go on the site at all. The item was paid for but not delivered. I have had to complain through PayPal as Naxopresence (BidFun) don't reply.

    The goods were sent out but the delivery got caught up in the bad weather. I arranged rescheduling of the delivery but this was ignored and the goods returned. Since then no one seems to have any record of it and I haven't been able to trace where they were returned to. Bid Fun (Naxopresence) are not answering my emails and their mail box is full when you ring up. This week I have spent hours on phone calls and emails all getting me nowhere.

    I would advise anyone not to get involved with this site. They take huge amounts of money from customers on the bids, they are unreliable in delivering the goods and uncontactable when things go wrong.

    I'm surprised you won in the first instance.
    An post should be able to tell you where it was delivered to with the tracking ref ( I guess it was shipped with a tracking ref?)

    It annoys me soooo much that these web sites manage to stay afloat for soooo long before eventually being forced to shut down . I suspect there's many people losing money on these sites , oblivious to the fact that they are totally rigged!! And then on top of that, I've seen some very reputable sites such as Yahoo advertising for them!
