BID FUN is a RIP OFF.....especially in this day and time when we all are half broke looking to buy things for our kids and don't have alot of money, they make it look very inviting, but they don't tell  you that you will be throwing your money down a bottomless pit and they get to keep it, even though you don't win anything....they make that impossible....but the prices are SO LOW they make it look so inviting... but don't be fooled....if you bid and don't win, don't expect your bids back, they keep the money......not like ebay, sorry I guess in ENGLAND they do things differently....You spend $50, you lose $50 if you lose the bids or not....and they keep turning the clock back, you could be 20second away from winning and someone bids, and back 30 seconds you go, I have found it impossible to win, unless you work for them.....or you want to spend $400 on a $150 item..are you crazy???


I cannot believe I was STUPID ENOUGH to fall for this, my grandson wanted an Nintendo DSI and without being smart enough to read all the rules and regulations I decided to go ahead and bid,  LITTLE did I know that the $10 I spend for "credits" I lost even though I did not win anything and someone else did...


So basically you keep spending money for "credits" as the price looks SO LOW like $2-$5.00 but evertime someone automatically bids it sets the clock back like 20-30 seconds...so you never get ahead, I had 45 credits on a automatic bidder and 30 seconds left and when I came back someone else had won because everytime I bid and someone else bid it set the clock back, just making it easier for someone else to bid at the last minute..


.SO IM ASHAMED TO SAY THIS but the money I spent on credits I could of bought him a new one....which I did several days later on Ebay brand new for $155.00 with a warranty for $10 for 3 years.  I'am not an uneducated person, I'm not stupid, I was just too stupid to read the fine print, and like ebay, if you bid on something and  you don't win, you don't lose your money, but on here, if you bid, even though you don't win you lose your money.....WHAT A RIP OFF, and NO PHONE NUMBER TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THEM...and the prices are SO LOW that is what attracts people to it.


 I feel bad because people are trying to buy items for their children for Christmas and if they use this method they are going to lose every cent they have, and they could of bought one brand new on EBAY...cheaper than the store....plus since this company is so shady, you don't even know what kind of product you are getting....when you try to pull up Naxopresence UK LTD, you get some half baked done web page....just a front


I had forgotten all about the bad experience, till I was looking at my pay pal expeditures and I was trying to figure out who they were and bingo,  HOW COULD I FORGET MY STUPIDITY???   PLEASE do not waste your money on there, it is impossible to win, and you are just putting money into a bottomless pit, it would not surprise me if they have fake winners ....plus what you get is probably a refurbished peace of crap....any company who won't give you their phone number  to get in touch with them is SHADY..... So basically if I spent $200 in credits and did not win, TOUGH MY $200 is GONE FOREVER....and I could of bought the item new with that money..... I HOPE MY STUPIDITY STOPS SOMEONE ELSE FROM LOSING THEIR MONEY!!!!

If you had won that item for 5 dollars would it have still been a rip off. You may be educated, but it does not mean you are smart. Being able to get a BA/BS just means you are hard working, not smart.

It took me 10 seconds looking at the site to realize how it work, and how fast your money could be siphoned away if you were not smart about how you bid. Credits cost money, it costs credits to bid, of course they are not going to refund your money for credits if you lost the auction, duh.

Also, just so you know, since it is pretty obvious you dont, most auction sites, including EBAY, add time to the end of an auction when someone bids in the last sections of the auction, just as this company does. It is done to prevent sniping.

We as Americans are so used to getting stuff for such high discounts that when things dont go our way we get mad, just like the above consumer. I really wish that as a country we would smarten up.
