This site is great! For all you so called customer service reps at wavve! You suck! I hope you sleep at night knowing that you guys constantly rip people off! I ordered a xbox for my son on december 7 2010 and it clearly says that it can take 2-3 weeks for processing and then 2-4 for shipping! LOL! Its been a month and i still havent recieved it. Now they say it will be delivered on January 20,2011 what a joke i will never use this auction again... what a scam!
By accident won a digital camera and a leatherman knife in Feb. Should be shipped in 21 days or less they said. So finally talked to one customer service dude and i guess he had been hammered by angry bidders all day and he just said man i am so sorry, we are having major growing pains, it may be 3 or 4 months before you get your stuff, well, he was right, still no merchandise. They used to have limits on how many bid bundles you could win in a week but lifted that now these sharks with lots of money and time get them all at any cost to keep from others. STAY AWAY!

Don't recommend anyone use this site for bidding. You will see automatic charges to your credit card for "credits" which are non-refundable and "can" be used during the bidding process (maybe). A new low in internet bidding sites.
As per other reviews, I was also duped into spending $179. There was no confirmation page I did not realize an order was taking place, I was only trying to sign up for the trial. I sent them an email and they were unwilling to work with me. Making the best of it by trying to win some big ticket items. Lesson learned never enter your credit card info without reading the fine print!
I have won 6 items between 12/21/2010 and 2/25/11, so far i have not received any of the items. I have called. To no avail. They voided one of the auctions that i won for the same reason stated in previous comments. I am at a loss, not sure what to do next, however this site is giving me some good suggestions. They have also changed all of my ship dates several times. I am angry and will call them again tomorrow, since today was the latest ship date on the first item. I will keep posting progress, if any. Stay away from this site, i agree with all that has been said, about the bidding... the bots... and the questionable auction endings.
After "winning" a auction bid on Wavee January 7,2011... I am still waiting on delivery of the product... estimated shipping date went from February 22 to March 18,2011. I don't really expect to see it! I would not recommend this bid site to anyone! Stupid me!
I signed up for the auction because it offered 350 FREE points. I played around on the site for a couple of days, never buying anything. I just got my credit card bill & they billed me $179 for the 350 points. I immediately disputed the charge after trying to contact the company (their office is closed on weekends). No way I'm paying for this fraudulent charge.
These sites never cease to amaze me in how they convince people they are just participating in a regular auction. If you spend you money and only have a slim chance of winning. That is a lottery. An unregulated lottery. Read about how everyone lost their money here

Rip off! You are teased with these unbelievable 30-80% off deals on the hottest new devices. You sign up and immediately have to pay $150! The only way to "win" and item is if you stay up all night like some obsessed fool and keep bidding, but you better hope your internet connection doesn't slow down cause your then screwed. Thousands up people sign up and pay for credits but only few win! RIP OFF!
It's a scam that somebody is getting rich off of. I purchased 80 credits for $48.00 to bid with on the site. I bid on one Item for several hours got nothing. So it cost me $. 60 for each pennie bid that I made. You do the math. It will cost you $60.00 to bid up one Dollar on a Item. I leaned the hard way! It would be cheaper to go buy it at a REAL Store. Hope this helps somebody else from getting took.
Promises to ship from my first two "wins" were cancelled after weeks. So, I tried again, and now 60 days later, still no product. Anyone want to buy 500+ credits to this scam website? Maybe for a 'review' on tv, or something? I'm game, call me. MrWareWolf on facebook!
An utterly corrupt, misleading business. Save your precious time and hard-earned money. They like to slyly charge credit cards for astronomical amounts and then tell you they will refund you but never follow through.
Just reported them to the BBB, please do the same! It's no wonder they have only a D+ rating by them.
Wavee now "hides" a $75 charge for 120 bid credits in the "Terms of Usage Agreement" (they claim), and they assert that you authorized the charge when the "check" the "Agree" box. Dont ask me where it is cause I've never been able to find it when I reread the "Terms". Can't believe they expect you to spend $75 prior to even seeing an auction! Guess they gave up on the $179 2nd page sign-up and looks like the scam now starts on the first page... can't believe they are so GREEDY! Avoid this site like the pox!
I wish I had read all of your reviews before I became subject to this scam. As another writer said, he gave his personal info and all of a sudden, he was charged with a bill. They just sent me an email stating there are no refunds. As a consumer, you have 3 days to cancel. I have in that process now and hopefully, they will comply. They give you no information that you will be charged. They said to me it is clearly stated on both sides of the beginning. No it is not, they need to give people a warning that from this point on, they will be charged.
How does one know that there is a real person or persons that you are bidding against. It could be a computer. We do not know.
I was definitely not thrilled to see another scam-like penny auction. But I must admit that I like their color scheme. Also the setup of the site is very futuristic. I think that I would like to take this site and just use it for something more constructive. Like a charity platform for trekkies:)
Also what is the deal with wavee, these days companies seem content to dumb us down with phrases like, biggie, trekie, and other ee's. What happened to more creative names?
Even the fine print is misleading. When they tell you the bid is. 75 cents, I was actually charged $75.00, and didn't even place a bid. My bank is working with me to have the credited back to may account. $#@! TERRIBLE
I think this site is the most dishonest site i have ever seen! They neglect to tell you that even if you do not get the winning bid, they keep your credits and you lose your money! WHAT A SCAM! Don't fall for it! It is nearly impossible to be the winning bidder on items.
They took $75 from me just for registering to see how it works, which is supposed to be free. I bid on nothing, I purchased nothing. I got nothing but trouble. (PS Customer no-service is week days only!) Stay away from Wavee.com!
I have been on this site since about Noon today trying to buy/win a notebook computer (it is now 9:06 PM), very few of the "bidders" seem to be real people I suspect most of the "bidders" are shills or Bots!... Please let me know if you had the same experience with Wavee... Sincerely, Michael... *******@hotmail. Com
I just saw this site on facebook - you think if it's on facebook it's legit right? I mean they're such a proper website with so many rules - can't say this, can't add people you "don't know", can't make any racist comments. So i opened the website seeing what it's all about after they showed a juice digital camera on their ad - it looked innocent enough - then they said $179 fee, which i thought, well that'd be fair if you could win something good... then i googled "wavee.com feedback" and got this site - you have no idea how much a site like this adds value to the whole internet universe - obviously this site is a scam and it makes me so angry to read the reviews that I'm going to lodge a complain with facebook and try to take out this scumbag company - thanx
I guess I got "lucky" by only being charged the inital $48 for bid credits. What gets me is all bids seem to go through, except the ones where you could possibly win; then you get a "bid cannot be processed. You are not logged in", when of course I am (how could I bid if I wasn't?) I did the math on the bids, and this company makes $15,000 if the bids total $200.00, minus the cost of what someone "wins". Since there is absolutely no way to check if the "winner" is a real person, this site has my vote as one of the biggest scams going. Wish I would have found this site before I spent my $48! I find the most amazing part of this whole thing is that nobody will do anything to stop this kind of fraud; you can file all the complaints in the world and drive yourself crazy about it, but in the end, no government agency that COULD do anything about it will. We're on our own, and I guess the old saying "Let the buyer beware" still holds true.
As some people already said, it is trying to lure people to purchase $179 credit package. There wasn't any confirm page that you will purchase that credits. Also, email customer service, had to wait more then 48 hours (as stated 24-48) to get a non sense reply email. Their process of bidding is very QUESTIONABLE. After trying to bit few items, I notice that many times the word "PROCESSING..." stands there for about two seconds (the clock runs down to 0 for two seconds). It seems to wait for others to bid rather than letting the last bidder won. I also happened to won one and got the credit charged but it has been more than 10 days, the item is still in processing, not ship yet. When I won that item, the clock stood on 0 for less than a second and I won. I think they set it up to let you win and also, who know that they would have a fake bidder just to raise the bid. Don't joint this site. WAVEE is SCAM.
This website is a scam and they take your money and don't deliver product. You have to give them money to bid on items but it takes your money whether you win the bid or not. I bid on one product and by the time the bidding stopped I had spent over $20.00 to try and win the bid and the product ended up costing more than retail.
I will never go to this site to purchase anything again.
I won a Garmin 1490t and a Kodak z981 back in the middle of jan 2001 and they promise the delivery in 10-15 working days. I still haven't see it yet. Next delivery date is my a May. Over 3 months. That's if they deliver it... Don't be fooled, they will tak your money but delivery, who can tell?
I actually won an auction at Wavee, that's the good news. It took two months of waiting and finally contacting them before I received the item, the problem is it was for only half of what it was supposed to be. I won an Xbox 360 kinect system, what I received is an Xbox 360, no kinect, no game. I contacted them again they told me the matter has been sent to the shipping dept. Here I am 2 weeks later and have received no indication that I will get the rest of my shipment nor do they have any way other than e-mail available to contact them. I'm not holding my breath on this one. I will never use this site again and you shouldn't either!
It takes a lot of strategy and late nights to win. Good luck on receiving your items. I won 4 items. The gift card was shipped after 3 weeks. The casio watch took 2 months. I am still waitn on the other 2 items. I have repeatedly emailed them several times and the responded once that the item was being processed. After 3 months I called them and they said that it was because if the holidays and they were backed up. The changed my estimated ship date from December to Jan 5. It is now Jan 18 and I haen't received the items. I contacted them today and was irate. I told them this was unreasonable and the rep put me on hold then hung up on me. When I tried to call back their was an estimated wait of 12 minutes. I am just going to write off my losses. If I get the items in the next decade so be it. The also gave me 30 free credits. I guess that's just to entice me, but it will only aggravate me more. So I won't attempt tom bid any more.
