How to get your money back!
File a Dispute with your bank after you make a complaint to the Company that runs the Penny Auction and make your claim(s) to the bank and tell the bank about all of the Rip Off Scam write-ups that you viewed online after they got to you and the bank will listen and give you your money back. It is just that easy but you still have to do this as the bank will not do anything without your complaint but they are listening and the person that you are telling this too will already know of these Scams and help you out!

Charged 149.50 without my authorization
Company charge me for 300 bids, which I never purchased. I don't know where they got my info. I never bought these things and never gave them permission to charge my credit card. It is a pure and outright scam. I tried to contest this and the vendor They probably got this from the internet. I don't know but someone should investigate and see how they can still be allowed to do business, when there are so many complaints filed against them. I guess the only way to stop them is to file a lawsuit, which I'M about to do.

Rip Offs
Took $150. No canceling allowed. Cheap products. Can get the same or better at flea market. Lets start a boycott of this auction site! I haven't seen one thing that was worth bidding on. Price Shuffle--You stink!! I would not buy from you for any amount of money. All you do is rip people off. I did not order 400 bids-the ad said $29.00. So where do you have the right to charge me $150.? I will tell everyone I know and post everywhere on web NOT to use your auction site. PRICE SHUFFLE-YOU SUCK!

PriceShuffle unauthorized charge
I found this site through a bogus "news" article on the internet and was lured in by the offer of 100 free bids. I signed up for the account and was directed to a page to enter my credit card information. The web page is so fractured in appearance, that many portions of the site appear to be ads. I reviewed the box requesting my credit card information multiple times before submission to make sure I would not be charged a fee. The next morning, I discovered a charge for $149.75 on my bank statement. I immediately contacted the company via email, as instructed by the company's voicemail system, and requested a refund. I received a prompt email stating that the terms and conditions were "clearly stated" on their web page and that bids are nonrefundable. Since there have been so many complaints listed against them on websites such as this one, I sent a follow-up email contesting that their website was "clearly" labeled and, again, asked for a refund.

Same thing..different day
I too did the free bid thing. I called and of course was referred to the email address. I flooded their email with requests. I was hoping that by getting tough and telling them that my bank suggested a fraud report, the many emails on the net about them, the writer that wants to do a class action suit, and threats of wire fraud would get their attention. I would not have bought any bids because it has now brought my account down to 73 cents. I got an email with a receipt stating that they did indeed initiate a refund. I will let you all know if it really happens.

Price Shuffle charged $149.75 without properly stateing it.
Penny Auctions are a sting invented by grifters. Here's how they work. You go to their auction and lets say you see an HD TV valued at $500.00 being auctioned and the current bid is $23.00. The time remaining to bid is shown along with the current bid. Lets say that the remaining time is 3 minutes. So you bid. You cannot bid any amount you want to as each bid increases the bid by 1 penny only. Now the bid is $23.01, but the time remaining is 3 minutes and 10 seconds as each bid increases the time remaining by 10 seconds. No problem! You easily see that its best to wait until the last few seconds to bid. The clock ticks down, 2 minutes, 1 minute. 30 seconds, 20 seconds, 10 seconds, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5 seconds left...you bid...15 seconds left. Someone else bids..25 seconds left..another bid...35 seconds left. You can wait all you want but any item of value gets bid like crazy in the last 10 seconds. So you think all you need is patience. But what you really need is lots of money because everytime you bid they charge you $.50. That's right...Fifty Cents. I've watched as this HD TV remained with less than 30 seconds left for over 4 hours. The bid went from $23.00 to over $50.00 and it still wasn't sold. Now lets figure that out. 50 minus 23 is 27 or better still 2700 bids. At $.50 a bid they made $1,350 and its still not sold yet. Nice hah. Adding insult to injury on your next credit card statement you find that they have charged you $150.00 for 300 bids that come with signing up. They refuse to refund your money saying that it was stated on the enrollment page and in the terms and conditions that you agreed to when signing up. Please pass this information to others. Thanx!!!!!!

And you want know why I am saying this because I am regular customer of bidcactus.com form around six month but I don't won any products because they using robot system or manual bidder who bidding on their products. I am bidding many times on many products but after hard work of two or three days I don't won any thing because whenever I close to win the product, any user who I don't saw in whole two or three days bidding, suddenly came there and win thousand dollars products in just one bid. This isn't happened with me single time it happen many time so I think to investigation of this site I found that there is not only single site there is many who cheated their customers with his helping site and pennyauctionwatch.com giving wrong reviews of other auction site for making user blind, He think that when user read this he or she don't go on other site witch are their competitors and will go on their own sites.

Penny auctions are a rip off, it cost you to bid that one penny. You think it looks good so they have you sign up and charge you $150.00 to join, that 100 bids in some cases. Bid 100 times against some one and if the items is worth $100.00 they get 1500.00 or more, and you still may not win.
