We had an order placed and paid with bidz.com plus several items in our "shopping cart" for purchase and bidz.com canceled paid order and all items in our cart. We spent hours - literally - accumulating these items. They claim there was ANOTHER "technical error" regarding "second chance items" (in other words, bidz.com did not like the prices, in our opinion). If that was the case why were items won outright also canceled??? It is bad enough to all to often receive items that are damaged, dirty and obviously photoshopped. THIS COMPANY HAS THE POOREST IT DEPT OF ANY BUSINESS WE HAVE EVER DEALT WITH. THEY HAVE BEEN CHANGING TO A NEW SYSTEM FOR MONTHS NOW AND STILL CLAIM PROBLEMS ARE BECAUSE OF THAT. BULL BULL BULLSH!T. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVE PULLED THIS CRAP ON US AND OBVIOUSLY WON'T BE THE LAST IF WE CONTINUE TO SHOP THERE. We will be bidding on items now just to jerk with them like they have us for too long. WHAT A BUNCH OF LOSERS!!!

The list of complaints I have relating to this companies lack of service, lack of engagement with it's customers, bizarre penalties on returns, items that don't turn up, the rudeness of their staff, the rudeness of their directors, the very poor quality of some items and items not even coming close to their descriptions...is just to long for me to give my effort in writing about here. You have all suffered it so I am hardly telling you anything new. However, what I want to talk about, is this companies preoccupation with scamming and defrauding it's customers. I say preoccupation because they seem to choose to do these things, rather than simply doing business honestly. Here we have a company, run by shady Russians with criminal links, who have been and are presently under investigation by a number of agencies. For goodness sakes, even as I write this, their bloody ad appears on this site, supported by Google whom I take, just don't care where they get advertising revenue from...given Googles own search results are full of complaints pages like this one.

OK...it is my experience bidz is guilty of shill bidding. It's just so easy to pick up on, their own staff or agents bidding on items against you to inflate the price. Bet plenty of you have been initially disappointed when you have lost an auction to someone else, then just as quickly as the auction closes, you have it offered to you at your last bid price. Huh? Someone else won it didn't they? Many of you have also noticed sudden jumps in bids, considerably higher than what is required. This is a scam, you know it, I know it and so does bidz.

If an item does not meet very accurately the description found on the site, this is fraud, misrepresentation.

The recommended retails...oh dear...these are nothing but fictions, it's another example of misrepresentation.

I see a lot of positive feed back on some sites...yeah right, many of these feed back items are generated by bidz own staff and agents. So at best, lets just call them liars.

But here's a real good one and pure fraud. I examined an item sent to me. Apparently a genuine designer piece from Italy. Further investigations revealed this to be not the case at all. Lifting the bidz bar code label on the box showed another label underneath, 'Made in China.' But the bidz label clearly states, 'Made in Italy.' Now bidz knew exactly what they were doing, they must have, they stuck their label over the original with the express intent of hiding it. This is blatant fraud, there is no kind way of putting it, fraud, fraud, fraud!

I have made complaints to the Better Business Bureau, the Attorney Generals Office, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the FBI through their Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3). Please, if you have any evidence at all of possible fraud or just complaints about the way this company does business, I encourage you to do the same as I have, make complaints to the authorities.

There is interesting info on bidz on the facebook page.

I made several purchases on the auction web-site Bidz.com for jewelry.
The two necklaces which I purchased were dissapointing, as they were kind of chinzy.
I kept them, as I thought that I may have miss interpreted what I was getting. In other words,
I gave Bidz the benefit of the doubt. On 9/9/09, I bid and purchased a garnet ring. I received the
goods quickly. When I open the box and saw the ring, I was shocked and very upset! How could this
be the ring I was expecting!?? It was the worst piece of junk I have ever seen. The setting was paper
thin and the whole ring was quite small in scale as compared to what was shown on the web-site.
I asked via internet, to a michale damian at [email protected] twice, for an authorization number and an
address to return the ring to. (This person had sent me an email asking about my necklace purchases).
To-date, I have made two requests to return this merchandise for a full refund. I have not heard
anything from them. At this point, and after reading all the negative experiences other people
have had with Bidz, I doubt that I ever will get satisfaction.
PLEASE, PEOPLE - - - - - - - Do yourselves a big, big favor! Don't ever buy from this web-site!
Sincerely,

I've just spent the last hour or so reading the complaints about bidz.com, the online jewelry (and I use that word loosely) auction site. PLEASE, if you are tempted to spend one penny on this low quality (no quality) jewelry, let me advise you that you would be money ahead to just set fire to your money or flush it. You can go to WalMart or K-Mart and find better quality. AND don't even try returning the junk for a refund.

I don't understand the feeling that bidz.com find in cheating on people. They sold items which don't worth even 5 times less than the price on bid and they raise a price they name orignal price. Dear brothers and sisters, NEVER think about visiting www.bidz.com, they all robbers, all products, they are not good quality at all, and they will make you pay the "The Zoom" not the items themselves. The worst when paying for a product they send you another one cheaper than what you have bidded . They are making million everyday on innocent and naive people. Oh Lord, they cheat on everything, they asked me to pay USD 75.00 for shipping and when they product arrive FedEx ask me to pay USD 105.oo, when I verified the 11 products they sent for me I am not satisfied even in of them. I have impression the people from biz.com are laughs after the innocent and naive people who are bidding items from them. It is a time wasting when chatting to them about their fake products, shipping, and so on... Please brothers and sisters who are working hard to make money, NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM. You will deceive and hurt. bidz.com will pay what they are doing (By GOD).
