Beware of Eurobid (eurobid.net)

    Eurobid is an auction site that is run under the cover of being a bidding site but is actually a casino. Don't make the mistake of registering with them unless you are happy to gamble away your money. I just unwittingly lost over €200 bidding on an item which went to someone else whose bid was higher than mine but I never got my money back. To bid on any item apparently, you pay dearly, whether you get the item or not. And they make it look very easy but pay attention to the fine print in their user agreement because when I put up a dispute trying to get my money back as I didn't win the bid, they claimed I knew because they wrote it in the fine print they know many people don't read. So I am making it a responsibility to warn others. <snip>. If you are not into gambling, Beware!

    This is more of a board for asking people to review the website you have made rather than listing dodgy websites. FYI.


    Buyer beware - if it looks too good to be true, it usually is. A bit of common sense goes a long way to avoid being scammed with sites like these. They aren't new, I've seen things like this on the internet for at least 15 years. OP, I'm sorry you lost some money, but it could have been a lot more. It's a painful lesson, but hopefully it will prevent you signing over your bank account to that sexy nigerian prince...
