It is about bidders, the ones you cheated.With auction sites you will most of the times take a loss in the beginning, but if you stay clean and legit word of mouth will get out and you will find your self with success but to start out cheating. I did not say return all bids but you should if you were legit and wanted to do right would return every single bid that you over bid trying to get rich !!!!!! but instead you pull out the poor me card. Then try and lay blame every where except where you should !If you were worried about loosing money then you should have started out with lower end items and worked your way up , but you choose to put higher end items and bid against people all you thought of was the money , now all you have done is cost yourself the money because people are seeing you for what you are !!!!!!!

God, are you people for real? These 'penny' auctions are the biggest
scams ever! Whats stopping the 'owners' for putting a bot to bid with
you for 2 days, making a killing in exccess of 4-5 k on a $600 LCD TV,
and not only that, but they make sure their bot is the last bidder, there
fore not only they made a fortune from hundreds of people buying 60..cents bids, but the TV never leaves their warehouse, since they 'won' the
auction!!! of course, occassionaly they 'let' a customer win, so it wouldnt
be suspicuous!! Its so obvious!!
Lastbidder auction site- I have spent £500 and won nothing, but my main concern is they have failed to respond to numerous email and after spending a small fortune to win an item that cost less that you have spent you are required to pay for the item in a set period of time which is ok but no invoice is forthcoming and no telephone call or any response from lastbidder.co.uk. So you end up sending numerous emails to their contact support only to receive no answer and as a result you lose your item or have to pay the full cost. I contacted them regarding other registration issues and the same response NOTHING it make me wonder if it is a scam.

“Whats stopping the ‘owners’ for putting a bot to bid…” Although I can’t & won’t speak for other PA site owners, I CAN speak for myself: What’s stopping me from using a shill-bot or creating an account that I can bid with is nothing more than integrity. My software does not even contain a “switch” to turn that kind of thing on, which is precisely why I chose the software that I did (again, I’m speaking ONLY for myself & in relation to the software that I use). As an added protection to users, I offer people that may think I’m not all above-board the opportunity to, at their expense, hire a computer forensics technician to thoroughly scan or investigate all aspects of the software/web site. if I had one of the softwares that offered a “switch” to turn on or off shill bidding, it would still be visible & (at least in my mind) raise some kind of doubt as to the integrity of not only my site, but myself as well…something that I’m NOT willing to do…I”d rather close my site than submit my customers to unethical/illegal practices
I am really glad to hear you have integrity and ethics…
