i found this site on google, can you guys take a look at it, i think it has bots on it.

**suzyq** · 09-19-2009, 12:28 PM

Janyce -- That is too funny! I just watched that auction on the Headset and was wondering if that was you. Bots? Definitely! I signed up the other day, immediately wasted my 2 free bids playing with what I thought were Bidder-Bots, things just didn't look quite right. Thought I'd watch one more time before making a final decision. Hope you were working on free bids?

i actually spend $10 on bids,

i was bidding on a bid pack, a bid 2 times and then when i wanted to bid again at 3-2 seconds left it didn't took my bid and the auction ended with probably a bot.

Funny how you won that bid pack with 13 bids when there were only 13 bids total placed on the bid pack, unless you were bidding against your self. In addition odd that this is your only post here. Looks like a shill post to me

What can anyone write about BIDNOX.com. They just came back and I already have a bad experience. I won 50 bid packs twice, paid immediately for both, but took them 24 hours to credit 1 of the 2 wins, and that was after 3 e-mails. Several e-mail attempts went unanswered, but when they were - after 48 hours later- I was told that I was being impatient and that they do not credit bids on weekends, I had to wait until Monday. The bid packs were won on the 16th and 17th and today is the 19th, and I'm not being patient by asking for my 50bid credits? What am I doing wrong here? Anyone ever used them? What is/or was experience like after winning their fixed 50bids auction? (Those are the ones that I won). Please let me and others know.

Hi, Joe, I just joined a couple of days ago based on something I read on PAW. I won a couple of bid packs and sent an email tonight asking why they hadn't been credited. Got the same answer about doing credits M-F.

Also, I was pretty far into an auction using the autobid, and I booked another autobid only to have the other bidder take the auction. In other words: the autobid didn't kick in when it should. Bidnox's answer: "No one has ever had a problem with our autobid system." I wrote back and said that was an inadequate answer. Also strange that their autobid system lets you place a single bid (and charges you for it) when the autobid is in place. I asked them to examine their internet records and explain to me why I lost the auction when I DID book an autobid and was sitting at my computer when the auction simply ENDED.

Was watching some auctions on bidnox last night and noticed a strange pattern:

The names seem too much alike: many names always with numbers attached. Also, I've noticed that the same two names/bidders seem to ALWAYS bid on the same products: two distinct bidders for Wii systems, two distinct for a GPS system, three for the iPod. Unless another bidder gets involved, the auctions seem to ALWAYS end at the same price - and at a much lower cost than if another (presumably real person) bidder jumps in.

It seems like too much of a coincidence to me and more than a little fishy. Anyone else on bidnox or notice this?

Thanks.

What really concerns me is that I find something strange about some of the names and auctions. The names seem too much alike: many names always with numbers attached. Also, I've noticed that the same two names/bidders seem to ALWAYS bid on the same product: two distinct bidders for Wii systems, two distinct for a GPS system, three for the iPod. Unless another bidder gets involved, the auctions seem to ALWAYS end at the same price - and at a much lower cost than if another bidder - i.e., real person - jumps in.

It seems like too much of a coincidence to me and more than a little fishy.

Hey everyone! I'm here to try and clear up this issue. First off, there is no shill bidding, that's why we're trying to stick to "lower end" items for the time being

Secondly, you have bought bid packages from BidNox many many times. Why do you only write this now? After you lost 2 auctions? You have won a nice amount of products on BidNox: 2 iPod touches, a Nintendo Wii, a $50 amazon gift card, and more.

It would be a shame to lose you as a customer.

We are currently spending $1200/day in advertising just so we can generate enough competition on the auctions, so that BidNox can become established for its integrity and at the same time make money.

I really do hope you understand and hope we don't lose you as a customer.

Customer satisfaction is our priority please email us again if you have any other concern.

Thanks,
Jay

Just heard back from "Jay" at bidnox, who has this to say:

"I'm not sure how you want us to respond, first off there is no shill bidding that's why we try to stick to lower end items. Secondly you have bought bid packages from bidnox many many times why do you only write this now? After you lost 2 auctions?, You have won a nice amount of products . It would be a shame to lose you as a customer. But I'm not here to pursued you otherwise.

We are currently spending $1200/day in advertising just so we can generate enough competition on the products so bidnox can legitimately make money.

I really do hope you understand and hope we don't lose you as a customer.

My response:

Dear Jay,

I asked you two questions that you keep skirting:

1. What happened with my autobid? I was shut out of the auction when I had placed an autobid and I also tried to bid manually.
2.. How does it happen that so many of the same two/three "names" are always paired in auctions and auctions for the same products almost always end at the same price? (Unless there's a real bidder, like me) and then the products go higher.

They are fairly straightforward questions and legitimate concerns. I'll post your response on the PAW thread. I'm not the only one on that site to observe that your bidders seem to be bots.

Perhaps it would be better all around if you would respond to me on that thread, as a matter of public record.

Thanks."

Why did you edit the email i wrote to you? that's not nice

**maudeandtessa** · 12-22-2009, 07:27 AM

Jay,

I edited out the actual products I won. Period.

I'm sure everyone reading these threads would like to know why you can't answer these questions, as would I:

1. What happened with my autobid? I was shut out of the auction when I had placed an autobid and I also tried to bid manually.
2. How does it happen that so many of the same two/three "names" are always paired in auctions and auctions for the same products almost always end at the same price? (Unless there's a real bidder, like me) and then the products go higher.

**************
Shills was incorrect; I meant bots. Same names, many auctions end at the same prices, competing bids always kicking in at the same time at the timer kickdown.

I have yet to pay for a couple of products I won. Will do so and will be sure to post here whether I actually receive them. I will decline any bidpacks I won and don't want the ones I've paid for. I have too many concerns about the legitimacy of your site at this point.
