Simple: the winner is the last bidder when the countdown timer reaches 0. You then pay the price of your last bid and any delivery costs, and the product is yours at a significant discount!
NB: the official countdown timer is maintained centrally on our servers, the one shown on your computer is maintained locally on it based on information received from our servers. It may happen that there is a slight delay in displaying the latest information. Only the countdown timer maintained on our servers is taken into account to decide which bids are valid and when the auction ends.
By now I knew I had been HAD! This website is a scam. No, worse than that....it's criminal.
I paid my $100 thru PayPal, and they said they couldn't do anything since the $100.00 had already been paid. They did however, provide the phone number (in the UK) and a website where I could file a complaint. The website is for the Internet Crime Complaint Center, www.ic3.gov.
I suggest everyone who gets taken by BidFun files a complaint with ic3. These people need to be shut down!
