Dont buy bids from this site as if you do you have less then 1% of winning , all those ended auctions with banners that show people who won New Honda just because they were the most bidders of the month is a SCAM, its swipebids own bid, they have this thing that they use to setup the price they like to see sold for , so they will never lose any money - example if they are selling an ipad retail for $499 , swipebids will set a price for the item example 129 dollars, so when you see the auction starts with 0.01 cents, bidders keep bidding every 100 bids the price goes up a dollar, so in this example 129 dollars is 12900 bids each bid cost about 0.65cents, thats 8385 dollars worth of bids they buy the ipad for 499 from a dropship company & they make about 7800 dollars profit , now if you dont reach there SET price in this example 129 dollars, EVERY BODY LOSE, they keep the Ipad & the 7800 dollars, the expensive stuff like cars, laptops that cost 3999 are fake bidders to attract people to buy bids, I have been investigating this site for a while now & want people to be caution when I contacted them asking them about the past HONDA civic winners shipment tracking to see if it was delivered to the winner, they replied we dont show customer tracking numbers even tough they do provide tracking number of other items sold (FOR THERE SET PRICE ;) http://www.swipebids.com/all_past_winning_auction.php . SEE PICTURES BELLOW , IT SHOWS THAT SOMEONE BID & WON NEW HONDA RETAIL 16,000 dollars for 9 dollars OH WOW REALLY? so the camera that retails for 1300 dollars sold for 173 dollars but the NEW honda civic was sold for 9 dollars OMG i gusse no body wants a new car! I found this site who even say in there brochure that they can make you a penny auction site & you can control your own price to you will never make a loss. link bellow read page 7. Now if you had bought bids from this site I recommend you call your bank & open a charge back, tell your bank that you got scammed by the site & want your money back even if you had bid on the site, you would not have won anyways! .If you have bid on this site for Thousands of dollars so you can be top bidder to win a car which you will never win at this site contact your bank ASAP & get your money back! Good luck!
click on download brochure to see penny auction scams! go down to page 7!
