How come such deviant companies are allowed to exist in our country?
When can I expect my prompt refund?!

The company has illegal processes set in place. I filled out a form and without additional notice of charges, I received an email stating that I had been charged $159. I immediately contacted the company, the only way it allows anyone to, via chat, and asked for a refund. I never used the service, I didn't wait a day or even an hour. The woman via chat told me that I should have better read the screen about the charges and that they don't normally give refunds, but that if I filled out a form it would be considered.
I printed out the form and then contacted them again via chat and reached another woman, the customer service manager on-duty. She stated that I had to fill out the form, mail it in, and then contact them in 2 weeks to see if they would approve a refund. I told her that I could email or fax her the signed form so she could process immediately and she refused. I explained that the faxed or emailed signed document was a legal document and not preventing her for proceeding and refunding my money immediately and she still refused and said I could only mail this in.
This site is a scam. A company can not take a transactional payment in person or online and then not have the ability to provide an immediate refund. If I was to go in to a store, purchase a pair of shoes, walk out, a minute later, decide to go back and return the shoes, the store could not tell me to fill out a form and come back in 2 weeks to discuss with someone about getting my money back.
The site is a scam and they take peoples money with slick advertising and no secondary notices about what the charges will be before you hit accept and then refuse to refund your money.
I have filed a complaint with the FTC and will be contacting the same 3 TV stations that they promote on their site about this.

Stay away from swipebids it's a total scam!!! I went to look at thier web site to just look at what was up for bid - never allowed them to use my information or agreed to anything they automatically charged my account $159.00 3 TIMES! thank goodness I have an automatic alert on my credit card (if you don't have your credit card with the automatic alert call them and get it, it's free and everyone should use it) called capital one (love them) and stopped payment.do not let these crooks take your money.

I logged into their website, thinking of trying to bid a small amount of money to get a laptop for my grandson. They took $159.00 from my debit card.
All communications are phony. All addresses they list are phony. Their Terms of Sale show 1 address in Aurora, Co., another in Orem, Utah and their biggest gaffe is an addressed in Haslemere Surrey uk.
This address, 72 High street is occupied by a real estate agency, and two attorneys, a firm called Gardner Thorpe Solicitors. Attorneys there are Paul Gardner and Martin Coakley.
Their phone number is 011 44 1428 661151 to direct dial. I cannot do this from my phone.
Ms. Philippa's email address is [email protected].
In summary. Their addresses listed within their Terms and Conditions are not legitimate.
They have no phone numbers in existence. They need to be reported to the attorney generals in the respective states they claim to have a physical address in. I will, in the meantime, contact the Attorneys in the UK.
