Do not trust this platform with your money or your personal data. BidSpotter provides the infrastructure that auction houses rely on, yet takes no responsibility when those same auction houses engage in abusive or dishonest conduct. I experienced a situation in which an auction house retained my money without delivering the goods and then blocked all further communication. When I contacted BidSpotter for assistance, their response was dismissive and unhelpful. They claim auctioneers are independent, yet they actively provide a Public Block system that allows auction houses to damage a buyer’s reputation simply for disputing a transaction. By allowing auction houses to keep funds without fulfilling their obligations, and by giving them tools to silence or penalise customers, BidSpotter enables this behaviour. There is no meaningful consumer protection and no accountability. I have formally requested the closure of my account and the erasure of my personal data under GDPR. If you value your money or your peace of mind, use a platform that properly vets its sellers and offers real protection to buyers. On this site, buyers are treated as disposable.

This is a scam webpage. I have bid on a few items during the auction and won. But they have extended the auction time and cancelled my bids while claiming their site is down.

Please stay well away from this site it's scam after scam

There are a lot of different scams on this site. Some will demand you pay in advance. But then never provide you with an opportunity to pick-up what you paid for. Others will avoid even giving you payment information, if the item doesn't go high enough. So they can label you a "no pay" and resell the item. And the website itself does nothing to police the sellers on their website. They know this stuff goes on, but won't protect buyers. Nor do they remove shady sellers.

THEY DONT TELL THE TRUTH AVOID!!!!!!!!!!! I bought a van which stated it was a runner be it noisey and bit smokey. The van was not a runner as the engine was completey broken so therefore didn't even start so how they they said it was noisey and smokey is beyond me. A clear case of misrepresentation. Its disgusting, I have a small business and this has massively affected my business and caused me lots of stress.

Participated in an auction where items were somehow being bid on after the timer on my screen counted down to 0. There was a syncing issue during the auction and nothing was done about it. No integrity in the auction and no answers other than "sorry for the inconvenience."

I have never had any problems with Bid Spotter. I'm glad they exist. It's a place where you can see multiple auctions from specific countries. I do however have problems with specific auctioneers. Problems such as lack of communication. When asking their persons on site [at the auction site] to inform me when my items are ready to pick up no one contacts me and I loose the items and my money. This is a fairly frequent occurance on low cost items. I contact the auctioneers but have never received a reply. I would say this has happened 4 times in 5 years.
