Online Auction Sites in general

Bidz .com I have placed a couple of orders on Bidz.com in the past & had a great service, I have now gone back to them to buy some presents as they have some lovely things and at great prices. Unfortunatly not only is their shipping very expensive but there customer service while good because of the live help link has dropped somewhat in quality. I also have a firm belief that the customer service reps on live help have a degree in avoidance of issues. I have been to hell & back trying to find out what has delayed my parcels arriving & they dont like it when you question them. Although i will probably use them again ...  Read the complete review

For those who don’t know, Bumblebee is the latest money spinner from your local constabulary. Put simply, anything that finds its way into the Police vaults (such as lost property, unclaimed recovered stolen goods, etc.) eventually ends up on the Bumblebee website where it is auctioned off to Joe Public as per the likes of Ebay, etc. Goods are typically brand new or nearly new, and can represent excellent value for money. Successful bidders can either collect their winnings from their local Police Lost Property office (assuming that the goods originate from there) or pay a somewhat steep delivery charge to have the goods delivered to ...  Read the complete review

I came to know this jewellery auction site last year. This is a US based site but can deliver internationally. I won few stuff and watches from there at a very minimal price and I found every item same as shown on the site ,no cheating.

They do offer the free delivery once every year and I am waiting for the offer as the charges are $20 for one item and if there is more than one item than $4 additional for each . The charges for within Us is $5. I found world class jewellery ,diamond, gold, silver, all ...  Read the complete review

It is now clearly the largest Free auction site in the UK and eBay better watch out with there listing fees and final sale fees. eBid is FREE to list and there are no final sale fees. Are you listening eBay. eBid is catching you up VERY quickly. ----------- Also, Its only for UK residents and this reduces concerns about dealing with overseas 'can you wire it to my account' ya right MR Ukraine. ---------- love the idea that the seller can chose the type of person who can bid on their item. IE credit card verified bidders only or 10 plus feedback rating bidders only. ------------ ...  Read the complete review

There are lots of opinions already written in this section, which deal with the way on-line auction sites are run. I see no need to repeat the 'method'. If you want to buy cheap TV's, software, pc hardware, cars, bicycles, and a host other consumer goods try Ebay, QXL or Yahoo. The exact way to do this and the 'do's and don'ts' of it all are all available in great detail. So, why am I bothering to write an opinion in this category at all, if I am not telling you how to use an auction site and which is the best? Well, the heading for this section is 'on-line auctions' in general, so I thought I'd take a ...  Read the complete review
