So while setting up my account it took a $30 payment for “points” then I couldn’t find any good information on what points were or how they were used but from what I gathered by messing around was it was a way to place auto bids. Perhaps I didn’t read something fully and that was my fault. I thought I was just linking a card to my account but maybe I missed something; could be my fault.So anyways im scrolling the site and see something I want and I choose the buy now option. I pay for it and put in my address and it emails me tracking information. I went to hop on today and now it’s saying my email and password aren’t correct which I know they are because I saved it with my facial recognition. Even so I tried resetting my password through the “forgot password” link and they say they emailed me a link to reset it but nothing came through. The email with the tracking information just takes me to the login screen of the app so I have no idea if my item is actually coming or if they just took $60 and kicked me off the app or something. As of now I’m assuming this is a scam. If something changes I will update my review, if not I will be reporting this
Surprise! -$39
IFindHorribleApps
Decided to try this online auctioning out. Horrible experience. My “bids” are still in the running as I write this review but I am certain it doesn’t matter. Not sure if it’s the surprise $39 fee for “points” I didn’t select for purchase or if it’s the bots that are “bidding” against me. I did purchase 500 points for $20 (that much is on me). But those points are rated $.04/ point? The surprise charge for $39 (which I did not agree to or go out of my way to purchase) is 280 points with a rate of $.14/ point. The math is correct however there is no scale within the bids valuing peoples “points”. Why would I be bidding a $.14 point vs someone’s $.04 point?? There is no control. One last gripe. If a bidding is “closed” to any new bidders and it is me and one other bidder going back and forth with our inputted points. How can a new bidder just hop in $5 after the cut off? The points system is shady and would save everyone the headache if all of the “points” held the same value. Never again. Wouldn’t go as far as to call it a scam YET because I requested my refund immediately which I assume voids my “bidding”. However we shall see.
beware before you download

I thought I’d try the site so I downloaded it but unfortunately, I didn’t see anywhere that it was telling me it was gonna immediately charge you 35 when you open an account. I had chosen Paypal for payment option options and it immediately charged $35 to my Paypal luckily I went immediately back through the link to get the refund back. I don’t appreciate apps that are so confusing and do not disclose plainly something like that. Why would I trust that’s going to swindle you out of $35 the minute you open an account before you’ve even had time to look at the options and see what kind of things are on there that you might would buy shame on you! and I also see they say it has a great rating yet looking through the reviews 90% of them are bad and saying the same thing and it’s hard to even find all the reviews so luckily if you even find that you’ll see mine as well of all the other others given you warnings
$50 free with your first purchase…🙄

While the fine print does say that you will get the $50 credit with your first purchase no where do you see or hear that the first purchase is to buy points to be able to bid. You are offered the deal of getting $89 worth of points for $39 and only then do you get the ability to bid and to utilize your $50 in credit. I may have given the app a higher rating but I was not prepared to pay for the privilege to bid; you have to purchase access for any of the advantages that may come with the app. What I am inferring is that each bid is one point, so if you are going after a highly contested item you could blow through your points quickly. Leaving you in a position of needing to purchase more points before you can continue. You may be able to save money on some smaller, less popular items but if you are going for a steal on popular, high dollar items you could spend MUCH more than you want or intend.
