scam
scam. They say there are no bots but the second you place a bid you're immediately out bid to drive the price up every time.. the first time buyer refund does not include money spent on the item only for the points you initially bought just so you can look at listings.. they will take your money and not give a full refund They require you to purchase points to even look at their site. Which you lose if you lose the bid. The points are also not what is used to purchase said item. You need to spend additional money for the product that the points do not cover.. They then tell their customers in the review that you have the OPTION to purchases points that will go towards deals. That is not an option you are making blind sales and misleading customers with your point system/ forcing them to buy points to even look at listings. If the site allowed you to look at listings before you purchase points to be eligible for special deals, or if those points went towards the purchase its self it would feel less like a scam and more like an auction. its not even guaranteed you will find the item you are looking for. stay clear of this platform not worth it
