Yep! This place is a scam... I have carefull watched items worth hundreds. And some thousands end for under $2... So when i bid... the bidding keeps going until i quit... then the "computer bots"bid... and of course they win... and i lose.And the bidding went almost to $4. Which is way to much considering my tracking history of all the items i was looking at bidding on... but i was stupid... this is the second time for me... I spent hundreds once before on an ipad... and never won. But was credited towards one using my spent bids.So i did not end up losing my money in my previous case... but i never got a discount either... I still paid $900 for my Ipad... so you can say not a total loss... but it was a rip off!... I would stay away... and never look back!

Just got spammed by this site from an ad I put up on Craigslist. The person who contacted me claimed that she and her husband now have more money for family vacations and are making ends meet by getting stuff from BidSell for cheap and then re-selling them again on Craigslist. So she thought to inform me of the site to help me out, just as someone else helped them in the past. Right... I just want to sell a desk and a chair because I'm moving, lady. Go help someone else out.
I just got spammed by this site after I put an ad on craigslist. LAME! People selling their own stuff as what appears to be twisted version of an auction. I think I will stick to ebay and craigslist. Now get me off of your spam list.
Purchased $48 block of bids but couldn't win anything. Even when i only bid on one thing. This is a definite rip off.
100% FRAUD. I spent 2 hours + $60 on it and found their trick to rip-off money. I bidded seriously for a 100 bid package. It turned out that several robots kept outbidding me untill I lost all my bids. They are easy-to-tell robots because they did not outbid among themselves, but only when I placed a new bid. Right after I ran out of bids, the sell ended with no further bidding(surprise, ehh?) showing the last name outbidding me to be the winner. Other evidence of fraud: 1) nobody seemed to be active in two bids at the same time, never.(You generate a lot of names for your robots, Bidsell...) 2) Whenever there was no serious human bidder, the sell ended quickly at unbelievably low prices. But if you participated, it would never end until you spent all your bids. 3) No records for previous winners at all.
SHAME ON YOU, BIDSELL!
Doesn't pass the smell test. Number 1; No winning bidders history available. If you go to allpennyauctions.com which tracks most auction site activity, they list bidsell.com as "untrusted". Finally I lost too many suspicious auctions where I was 1 of 3 or 4 active bidders left and each time I made a bid it was countered quickly, but no one countered any of the other remaining bidders unless I did. Also, their winning prices look suspicious. For example if you look at bidding activity on allpennyauctions.com and search auctions for "$100 Spa Finder Gift Card", out of the last 18 auctions for this item at bidsell.com, 15 of the auctions ended in either $. 31,. 41 or. 51. This and many other auctions don't look right. Stay Away
