Won item on 10/22. Still don't have it. Called back in mid-Novemeber and the lady said "We have had a huge increase in customers, so we're behind in our deliveries." One would think at almost a dollar on the penny, the owner would hire more folks to ship the winners their merchandise. Hell of a way to do business. I'll stay with EBay from now on, won't cost me as much and I will certainly get my items in a much more timely manner.
When will people learn (probably never)...
First off, if you have to pay before you buy some thing, you've already marked your self as a sucker.
Has any one here ever heard of EBAY and other REAL auction sites. If you are so intent on giving your money away, you can send it to me. I'll at least send you a "thank you" note. And for an added fee, I'll send updates on how I spend it :o)

I have been using penny auction sites for some time now. I do not work for a penny auction site, and am therefore not affiliated with them. I am a residential loan officer. I am a member of bid sauce. I just read a good majority of the complaints on here and wanted to make some general observations.
1. To the people who feel scammed by making a $149 purchase. Get over it. It clearly states on the site what you are purchasing. Once you have registered on the site, you could hit backspace, or go to the homepage without buying bids, and could purchase them at a later time if you chose. It even gives you several options of what size of the bidpack you desired to buy. It then asks for your credit card information to pay for the TOTAL that is directly in front of you. If you feel duped, because of that, then you are an idiot. You selected a product, they gave you a total, and you gave them your credit card number to purchase the item... Is it really that difficult to comprehend?
2. To those of you who couldn't understand how penny auctions work. Ever heard of doing a little research prior to? Everyone that knows anything about the basics of penny auctions knows that you purchase your bids prior to, and then use those bids to bid on items. If you win the item, then you pay for the "winning bid amount". This goes for any site... (Quibids, BidCactus, Arrowoutlet etc.) It's REALLY not BidSauce's problem that you haven't done your homework. Don't be an idiot. Do your research!
3. Shipping related issues: This one I am unsure of, and could warrant a valid claim. I recently won my first gift cards from the site, so I can't comment as to whether or not they honor their wins. From reading your posts, it appears that the site has been up and running for a good while, so I'm assuming that they would either A.) Have to be honoring their wins to stay in business that long or B.) Have been repeatedly ripping customers off for the entire time, which would baffle me to think that they have managed to escape being shut down all this time.
Can anyone post anything about having actually received items they won? I'd be curious if they are just slow on their shipping, or are honestly ripping people off...
I hope you don't take my comments the wrong way!
I know many of you are frustrated, just a personal observation:)
