Madbid.comReviews of it.madbid.com

I wish I had read the reviews earlier. If you are thinking that you may join this site, I strongly recommend that you don't. You need to sign up with at least £25 and as soon as you click anything on site you can no longer get a refund. You also bid on hugely inflated prices and cost 9x or 12x your credits to actually make a single bid. I hope they are closed down soon.

I was attracted to this site from adverts disguised as a news article. I decided to do a little digging before committing any of my money. Thankfully I found a good article article before commitment. The article in question referred to some test buys that had been made and summarised the experience. It wasn't good, and it confirms that it's nothing short of a scam. I urge others to search for an article titled "REVEALED: HOW MADBID BUYERS CAN END UP PAYING TWICE THE PRICE" This is a great factual article by a leading national newspaper, by the way and a not a rumour. You can read the full details on line. I notice now a lot of positive reviews have suddenly appeared mostly foreign ......Hmm make up your own mind on the authenticity of these!!!

My husband died of a brain tumour. In the last few days of his life he lost some cognitive functions - especially inhibitions. My husband was not gambling man but he became uncharacteristically fascinated with mad bid. In two days just before his death and unbeknown to me, my husband gambled several hundred pounds with madbid . I did not realise what he was doing until shortly after his death a few days later when the bills came in from the credit card company. It is virtually impossible to demonstrate he wasn't of sound mind at the time of his death and I had to pay the credit card bill. These sites are immoral and this situation caused me and my children additional hardship and stress at a time when we could ill afford it. I never challenged Madbid because I was heartbroken over my loss and I couldn't face confrontation. My husband was not in control of his faculties and there is nothing apparently in place to protect vulnerable people from these bidding sites. Updated two weeks after Madbid posted a reply. I contacted them via the email address they provided and via another address I found on the internet. I never had a response. Not really surprising. Although they mentioned the information I gave them was terrible - insisting that such a review achieves nothing, in fact contacting them directly also achieves nothing. Caveat emptor.

I spent a good chunk on money on this website but whenever I tried to bid on something I'd get outbidded or the item would magically become out of stock. Just utterly pointless. A scam that pretends to be legit.

I bought some credits for 50€ and when I was looking there was nothing I wanted. so I decided not to bid and wait until someting I'ld like passes by. When I logged in after two days I saw that all my credits were gone. Lesson learned :/

Once you pay to purchase your bids you find that they disappear very quickly and you are left in the position of having to buy more bids or cut your losses. I have noticed over the last few months that the standard of the auction products has dropped considerably with some of the big name products (e.g. iPhones) being "sold out". I am now in the position of having credit to buy a product from the sight outright but there is nothing on there now that I want. If I don't spend my credit by next month it will be "expire" and they will keep my money with me having nothing to show from it!
