Speedybuys.com Offered free bids to a limited amount of customers, I signed up, they charged my 149 on my credit card I thoght that this was for winning an auction so they would know who to bill to. Internet
Speedybuys.com is in my opinion a Rip-Off site. they lured me in under the guise of free 300 bids to a limited amount of new customers. they charged my 149 for the 300 Bids.
I had entered my credit card information, assuming this was needed in case I won an auction.
After using the site for a few hours the end of auction timer kept resetting. I decided this was crap so i left the site, the following Monday i noticed the charge on my credit card. I contacted the company via their phone number on the web site. I basically got the run around. the representative said he cannot offer a refund and that I would have to email support@speedybuys.com. I asked to talk to a supervisor but that was refused.
I called my credit card company and disputed the charges. we will see where it goes from here.

1) Did Speedybuys give you a receipt for your purchase? If not then they violated the merchants agreement with the credit card issuers.
2) Did they provide a real street address (not email) for communications? If not then they violated the merchants agreement with the credit card issuers.
3) The signup page is legally flawed. A person CANNOT sign up for a 'site'.
4) Speedybuys has taken great effort to conceal their real location. Nowhere on their site is a physical address given. Also, their 'GoDaddy' domain registration is 'private' meaning the real owner and address is concealed. Does that inspire confidence?
Let the credit card folks know about these violations. You'll have your money back quickly.
