i used this SIX MONTHS ago and the ubid charged me WAYYYY over what i bid and refused to stop the order even though it said it was in wharehouse for weeks;
I also tried to call them and they say NO PHONE NUMBER allowed to Service only email; i get the same thing over and over mean while the MERRICK bank is charging me hundres of dollars in service, latefee, and bad credit and finance charges; doubling what they charged;
I BID and won fashion accessories for $6 plus shipping; right; well they billed me for 75pieces of unknown designer outerware from Macy's and added $66 shipping and charged 6dollars times 75 items;
THEY REFUSE TO DO anything; also to make matters worse i was moving and told them NOT TO SHIP ANYTHING to my address until May 1; they did not listen so i never got the package which they supposedly shipped; and have not traced it for me to prove this;

JUST AS IMPORTANT TO POST ON RIP-OFF REPORT, ATTORNEY GENERAL & MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE BBB

Listing your complaint on many Government links sometimes are no better than the BBB and are most likely just a waste of time, giving you false hope. Many government sites (like the BBB) just collect all information from you, the consumer, but never make that information available for all to see, so consumers will NOT be educated as to what exactly they should be looking out for. By these agencies not letting you see these complaints, making them public, you never know how bad the company or individual rip-off really is. On the other hand, many government agencies have and do come to the Rip-off Report for information. We have been assisting many government agencies for some time now, including the FBI and Attorney General offices from around the country.. Now that all these Rip-off Reports are out in the open for everyone to see, in a way, this embarrasses these agencies into doing something when they see so many reports on a Company or Individual, because they are now out in the open for all to see. Unfortunately, many (not all) Attorney General Office's and government agencies will not move against a rip-off unless you are well connected, or there is going to be some sort of publicity on the rip-off. By reporting your experience on the Rip-off Report, is the next best thing to getting your story on TV or in a newspaper. Most national TV networks and many local TV stations from all around the country also come to the Rip-off Report for information they will not get from the BBB, Attorney General office's or any other government agency. Rip-off Report has instigated many local and national stories, resulting in help for victims' world wide, in one way or another. Most government agencies will never even bother with rip-offs unless it involves $50,000 or more. Now that government is cutting back even more dollars for these types of programs, this number will even get higher and we can expect even less to get done, by even less people to work on all these rip-offs. Additionally, by filing a Rip-off Report, you might be contacted by us notifying you to contact a law firm that has shown interested in your case.

I see you need some help in getting this resolved. The best thing to do is file an online report with the Federal trade commission at www.ftc.gov then file with the federal bureau of investigation. You can do this online as well.
In the future remember to ensure anyone you do business with has a phone number and address. Always verify that the phone is a working number then check it through the phone directory by calling 1 plus the area code then 555-1212. You will ask for the business by name. If they are unable to locate that business then ask for a reverse directory lookup using that phone number.
I never do business with anyone who cannot extend the common courtesy of having a phone number incase I have a problem. Hope this helps. Good Luck!
