I have been deceived and ripped off by this online auction company like many others into believing that by registering for the site, one would receive 100 free bids.  I used my credit card, to secure an account, or so I thought. I also entered a coupon code, to receive 'free bids', or so I thought. In reality, my account was charged $149.75 (plus overdraft fees) for a bid-pack that was 'preselected' and hidden amongst a dearth of advertisements outside of the registration area, also there was no confirmation of said transaction. There was no mention of the automatic charge of $149.75 when registering. That banner is  intentionally hidden in what appears to be an ad.  Any internet business which is not deceptive and fraudulent in its intent will inform a consumer that there will be charge with registration (without having to find hidden banners).   This intent is clearly to be deceptive. 

I started using my bids (I bid twice/three times) and then got an email from my bank saying I was charged 149.75. I called priceshuffle and they said I had to email them about billing. I emailed and got a response saying they wouldn't refund me and that I had already started using my bids. I started using my bids because of the misleading advertising of receiving free bids and because I knew I used my coupon code for free bids. I was not using them because I had chosen to buy 149.75 worth of bids!

Priceshuffle.com, after I emailed them and mentioned my report, they (specifically, Mr. Smith) agreed to refund me the full 149.75 back to my account. This was a positive step on their part. They asked me to email the link to this update in order to complete the refund.
