there is a new auction site like ebay called beezid.com
be very careful. i think its a scam site auction. every bid placed increases the time on the bid.
so you are bidding on something you want and at the last sec someone bids are i mainly see penny bids.
you can only increase bid by a penny at a time. and each time it gets bid the timer goes up. i am seeing 20-30 sec bids.
but it sounds all good. except 1 problem. you are limited bids. you first sign up you get 3 free bids. which means you use a bid point to bid on something. then at end of auction if they don't scam you and you win. then you have to pay for the item.
ok. you get 3 free bids to you. after that you have to pay. 27$ is the cheapest you can pay for bids of like 30 bids, i think.
i am justing giving everyone a heads up. do NOT use this site to auction on stuff to buy. stick to ebay. ebay is legit and you don't have to pay to make bids. funny thing is you can bid something, see someone's max bid if you are trying to beat someone or whatever. then like a few hours before it ends. retract ur bid and bid like $0.50 less than they bid that way they have to pay full amount that they bidded. i never done this. i have placed bids then towards about 4 hours left decided i could get it cheaper from someone else on ebay and retract my bid. you don't get any marks on ebay for retracting. just have to do it early enough. you can't do it on the last hour of the auction.
ok everyone. if those of you who havn't read this this part is the only part to read
"DO NOT USE HTTP://WWW.BEEZID.COM IT IS A SCAM AUCTION SITE THAT YOU PAY TO GET BID POINTS TO USE TO PLACE BIDS ON ITEMS EXCEPT YOU DON'T GET TO PICK HOW MUCH TO PLACE FOR YOUR BID LIKE EBAY"
Thank you for the heads up, i was going to check it out but could never remember name. good to know not to waste my time
im glad to see i helped someone.
as for the person who posted the link on asking if the site was a scam think about it.
you pay $300 for 500 bids. and weither you have a bot or not. it does the count down at it goes 3-2-1 then going and thats where most people try to get last sec bet. exact problem is when you bet it adds time to the timer again.
ok so they are selling something normally for like $100 bucks and it sells for say $25 bucks on a penny auction. ok $25 at penny is 2500 bids. each bid you place is around $1 just to place a bid. so they really made $2500 for the item from different people.
it is but isn't a scam. i say it is cause you will be paying more for the item and you don't even notice.
even something that sells for say $5, it takes 500 bids to get to $5. you might be able to buy bids to use for if lucky .50 a bid. but still. 500 bids at .5 each bid thats like 250 bucks they made pluss the price you have to pay if you win... so that site is getting pure profit easy. it doesn't matter how cheap they get the items from or not. _____________________
