You are now chatting with 'Jessica'
Jessica: Thank you for visiting SwipeBids. We are here to help you win auctions, save money and have a great time. Who am I speaking with?
you: help = I just signed up and did not realize I used all my bids
you: my name is corey
you: and I though i won
Jessica: Could you please provide me with your full name and email address, so that I can pull up your details?
you:
Jessica: Please wait while I check your order details in our system.
Jessica: Yes, you have used all of your bids.
you: I thought that a bid meant per item not per click - did I get that right?
Jessica: Yes, you got it right.
you: Can I start over? I did the tutorial and did not get it - or can I get my money back?
Jessica: The bidding process is simple. Each product starts at just one dollar. Then, people place bids on the product. Each time someone places a bid, the price of the product rises by 1 cent. The timer keeps going down, and when the auction falls below 5 minutes, if anyone places another bid on the item then the timer will reset to 10 seconds. When bidding stops and the auction ends, last bidder wins!
Jessica: If you have been unsuccessful at winning an auction, I can replenish the total amount of the bids you originally purchased this one time.
you: you guarantee that you can win an auction right? and I only have to bid on the auctions of stuff I want right?
you: what if you run out of bids and you didn't win anything?
Jessica: I can give you all your bids back one last time.
Jessica: Do you want me to do that?
you: Your site says you guarantee one win or you will refund
Jessica: It is says that we will give all the bids back to your account not the money.
you: so if you never win - you keep giving the bids back? You guarantee one win - that is the ONLY reason I signed up
Jessica: Sorry, we will give it only one time to you.
you: Play fair or I will go to the FTC and they investigate EVERY complaint - you guarantee a wi
you: so if that is not the case - please refund the money
Jessica: We are ready to give all you bids back to you one time.
Jessica: That is all we can do for you.
you: How long has this site been up?

you: it does not say one time - you guarantee that if a person does not win you will fully refund the bids - so you can play until you win
you: Or if you do not want to play this way - refund my money and I will go away - but I will bring the FTC into this
you: I feel ripped off and you just stole my money to buy a new computer
