Madbid.com madness. Signed up for an account depositing £300. Lost the Apple set auction I was hoping for but got £224 back from a promotion they were doing. So I topped it up with another £132 to buy a DSL camera from their website and two days later they flagged my account as being suspicious. I then sent in the required documents requested, a scanned copy of my licence, latest council tax bill and signed declaration but despite all this they it still isn't good enough! They said they can't see the picture on my licence which isn't surprising because I'm black! My licence clearly shows my address so does the council tax bill, I've signed a declaration and even sent them a scanned copy of my credit card but they still wont release my account. After a few day of email tennis, they refunded the £130 I used to top-up my £300 discounted credits but still won't unfreeze my account. Spoken to my credit card company who are now lodging a dispute and that is doesn't make sense!

You have to buy credits before you even see anything you can bid on !!!! Then they have access to keep charging you via your payment method !! AVOID !!!!!

They steal your money by auto bidding on things and auto stealing from your bank card. AVOID THIS SHAMEFUL SITE

all i really wanted to do was get a good deal on a decent laptop for my daughter, in the end i settled for a cheap smartphone and couldn't even win that (used over 3000 credits.) if you do go on the site go to closed auctions and you'll see imac's, laptops,camera's etc sold for between £50-£150 when you actually bid or even just watch an auction they never seem to end for anything like that, most of the time e.g rrp £379 will be won for more then £250+ and you should remember that it's already cost you to join and buy credits ,ooh and be sure to watch the item you were bidding on when you run out of credits (which you will) end within about 10 bids even though there were atleast 3 other bots uuuh i mean people bidding on it.imo you can't even break even let alone net a small profit.I did email to see if i could get some money back and guess what? computer says noooo.

Stay away from this company. Remember the old saying "when something is too good to be true..." After reading an article demonstrating you could pick up an Iphone and MacBook Pro for just a few quid, I was stupid enough to sign up and paid £99.00 and got double my credits. Started bidding and before I knew it, I received a message on my phone that my account had been topped up with another £100, even though I had chosen the "no top up" option when I initially registered. I ended up paying £285.00 for a Kindle worth £199.00. In my opinion, this is a very clever and legal way of cheating people out of their hard earned cash. You have been warned!

RIP OFF! INTERNET SCAM!

Played this site today as I read reviews online making it look like a great fun experience winning high priced items at a low price.....peeps saying they has won on their first go. I have to say the experience wasn't fun. Paid £27.99 to get 200 odd credits with a starter code adding a further amount giving me double credits. Sat here for hours hitting the bid button on same item where the same people (who are bidding on every live item, prob bots) are also doing the same.... Not won anything. Prob a good site for re-sellers that can spend hundreds buying credits and hitting the button all day long. On numerous occasions the countdown got to 0 then just started again...not worth the time or the money, your paying to bid, then if you manage to win which I doubt you then have to pay for the item. The auctions can run on and on and on....when you see one closed I wonder how it was even possible..... I won't be bothering with this again nor would I recommend it to anyone.....you will prob spend over the items worth and the time spent bidding is ridiculous.... Most of the auctions are to purchase more of their credits....???? More time wasting bidding against a million people as there arnt many items on offer at one point. Rubbish

NEVER EVER SPEND 1p WITH THIS COMPANY!!! ITS A JOKE
