WatchWinner.com Can’t Afford to Ship All Won Items?

A PAW member recently wrote to tell us about his less than stellar experience on WatchWinner.com, a penny auction site exclusively for watches. He was told that due to the site being so new they could not yet afford to ship all of his won items.

From our forum:

“I was bidding on a new site called watchwinner.com recently. I bought a small bid pack and when the timers ran down there were bots everywhere. They had at least ten auctions going and and the bots would place bids at the exact same time on all of the auctions. All of the timers were synchronized. Example: all of the auctions would have a bid placed at 9 seconds, then on the next count down every auction would have a bid placed at 7 seconds etc. I thought for sure I was going to lose all of my bids to the bots. Surprisingly I won 4 auctions and when there was one item left the bots were unbeatable. I don’t know if they let me win the four items or if there was a flaw in the bot script. After paying for the 4 wins they sent me this email. I feel guilty for not posting this sooner, I was hoping to at least get the 2 of the wins shipped and figured everyone here knew about the bots from first hand experience or from reading the thread in the new penny auction section.

Hello xxxxxxxx:

Congratulations on being our first customer on WatchWinner.com! As you know, we are a brand new site, just starting up. Given our limited resources, and shortage of new customers, we are unable to fulfill all of the orders which you have won at this time. However, we would like to send you two of your winning watches and send you the other two when we have more customers signed up. Hopefully you’ll be pleased with our prompt service and spread the word about our website and the high quality watches we offer.

At the moment, we can send to you the following two watches:

RotaryWomen’s White Mother Of Pearl Dial Stainless Steel

SWISS LEGEND Men’s Traveler GMT Rose Textured Dial Black Leather

Please note that this watch is similar to the GMT World Traveler Chronograph, but with a different colored face.

You may also substitute one of the above watches for this one:

Invicta Men’s Invicta II Silver Dial Black Leather

Please let me know which two watches you would be interested in, and I will send them to you. I will then reimburse you for the shipping of the two watches we did not send at this time.
Of course, as always, all your winning bids are credited to your account.

Again, we appreciate your business and cooperation in this manner. If you have any concerns, please let us know.

We would also appreciate your honest positive feedback on PAW website and on our facebook and twitter pages:
Watch Winner | Facebook and Watch Winner (watchwinnr) on Twitter.

Regards,
WatchWinner

They have no money to cover the first items auctioned off?

Note where they say “Please note that this watch is similar to the GMT World Traveler Chronograph, but with a different colored face.” There is a major price difference, not just a different color face.

Paypal has been notified.”

WatchWinner posted on our forum that due to their privacy policy they will not respond to customer concerns on the forum.

Though the bidder states his opinion of the site having bots we cannot confirm whether or not they use them, hope not. Have you bid on WatchWinner? Please tell us about your experiences!

That’s why online pharmacies is becoming more popular over the last years. Well-known are remedies which are used to reduce inflammation caused by inflammation of the skeletal muscle etc. There were only few examples. Did somebody tell you about canadian generic Viagra? Maybe you yet know about the problem. Sexual dysfunction can be a result of a physical condition. Even when it has a physical cause, psychological problems can make the disorder worse. Sex drive problems are so commonly a product of how you feel that there is something to that “headache” saying after all.

    I am a newbie at penny auction sites. My suggestion isto all others out there is to take your time bidding, I’ve spent alot of money on an auction site I guess I can’t get enough of and still dont’ have anything to show for alot of money lost and alot of bids placed. Good luck to all bidders.

    Sketchy. Sounds like a classic bait and switch model. Once they’ve been going long enough and the “not enough customers” excuse becomes even less believable, they’ll either close up shop and rebrand, or invent some other reason for why you’ll have to accept an inferior substitute or deffer receipt till some undisclosed and never to arrive future point in time.
