I hope everyone reads this first, this is a rip offf i made a mistake on this site put in my credit card and they riped off $159.00 from the top i did not see any where on the page were thay take out the money. people work hard for there money thay need to get off the internet.then thay tell me it will take ten days to get back my money and put it back on my credit card when it took them 3 seconds to take it off my credit card...big rip off ha, ha

I was charged $159 for the service on 8/31/10. They switch the page you are registering on to a page that looks the same except in small print it states you are going to be charged $159 for 300 bids. Once I saw the charge come through on my card via email immediately I got on live support and told them that the page was confusing and just the same as the previous page and that I didn't realize my card would be charged. After almost 45 minutes on a live chat they agreed to refund me by me printing out a form and mailing it in. I certified it. They said it takes 1-2 weeks. I sent it the following morning certified. They are off shore USA, so I was also charged a $4.95 fee from BOA for an overseas transaction.

I got on the chat again on 9/5 and they said I would get the credit by 9/15; when it didn't come, I got online again and they offered me 50% off my membership until I got really firm with them and threatened to call the county attorney and file online complaints. She said she issued the credit but it will take another 5-10 days to show up.

This is shoddy business practices. If you read anything online about penny auctions, you will find out that swipebids.com is one of the worst and impossible to cancel or get your money back.

By my mistake I hit the accept button, When I called to get a refund I was told I had to wait 2 weeks or more for my money. Well, I neede my money back so I could get my medications for my heaRT THE NEXT DAY.

After talking to 2 sc agents I was given to a Supervisor who told me the same thing, fill out mail in formand wait 2 weeks.I told him of my heart problem and he said didn't care.

I am on SS and needed that money for my meds.I will never do any business with them ever again. They are insensetive to people's needs.

They need to be reported to the BBB and the States Attorney Office in Colorado for their rotten dealings.

NEVER NEVER NEVER AGAIN.

Swipe Bids has struck again. Unfortunately for me, it was a pop up add and I thought I was regeristering to look at website and gave debit card info incase I wanted to bid. NO! you register they steal 159.00 from your account. This happened yesterday and I believe he instant chat people are bots. I am going to my bank on Monday Morning the 30th of August to see what I can do. The charge is pending and wont go thru till monday night. However the Person I talked to Saturday said I can't dispute till charge goes thru and then it will be too late from what I hav read. Please anyone with any ideas, please email me at [email protected]. Thank you

Has ANYONE been successful at getting a refund from this scam? If so, how?
