Well chief, I'm a Dispute and Fraud Resolution Specialist for the 3rd largest banking institution in the country and Bidz.com is well within their rights of what they are doing. They have 30 days to credit you account from the day your item is returned. Secondly, unless you have signed proof of delivery of your returned merchandise, it's like you never returned it at all. I tell my clients that you HAVE to keep a paper trail of everything you do. The bottom line is, don't make a fuss unless you know what a merchant is allowed to do. If it hasn't been 30 days, then wait. If you don't have proof that you returned it, then keep calling and calling. But if they say they never got it back, then guess what... you can't prove you returned it and you probably aren't getting your money back. Unfortunately a tough lesson learned and hopefully not an expensive. So for anyone that reads this in the future, be able to back up everything you do with proof. If you return a product, make sure you do so with a tracking number and signed proof of delivery.

This is an unfortunate situation being bidz does not regularly refund cost of return. It is up to the buyer to make sure they have some kind of proof of item shipped for return. One of the big downfalls of internet purchasing but bidz should offer to refund cost of return within a limit if the item is actually not as described or damaged. Maybe this would encourage bidz to upgrade their inspection/quality control instead of wasting time and money on worthless system/program upgrades as they are trying to do now.
