Totally pissed
Just B.S. Scam artists. Don't even try. You may win a bid or two, something like a $10 gift card for $4 or $5 and loose your membership fee, because you won. They will not cancel your membership until you try to bid and use all of the 300 bids they give when you buy the membership. You can not talk to customer service live, only via chat room, and they can't help you anyway... we should pressure the credit card companies and ask for refunds,because it's a scam!!! I don't even want to talk about them...

Www.swipebids.com just took me for $150.00 Give them information and you buy bids for that amount.
All I did to the best of my knowledge was put my information down and that bought me 300 bids for $150.00 They could be upfront with what they do. Now I can not even get back on that site, to click onto the chat site, which according to the number I dialed to cancel, is the only way to get it cancelled. Have I been taken, yes, have I been scammed, yes. Anyone, if you have a solution, please let it be know. Sites like www.swipebids.com need to erased from the internet. The cancellation number that was given on the site is 866-389-****. According to the company they can only cancel the monthly charge of $11.95 This also was a surprise to me for I did not read anywhere of a monthly charge. To all, be careful of your very hard earned money. Companies like Swipebids will take your $$$ at a blink of an eye.

Swipebids auction scam, ripped off
I don't understand why the FTC doesn't step in and shut these sites down, when they are obviously relying upon peoples gullibility to stay in business. I know that if I cheated or lied to any Govt officer or organization, hoping that they wouldn't notice, my raggedy *** would be in jail pronto. How come they don.t protect the citizens who pay for "THEIR mortgages, car payments, vacations, kid's school fee's and everything else, that they have occasion to spend money on." I do know that everybody that works for these scam operations is going to die and then they will face the judgement of God, which I would take no delight in, but would hope that they would see beyond their love for money and expose the companies that they have worked for.

False advertisement-swipebid.com
They are horrible- BIG SCAM. They show you a home page to set up account to bid on their auctions. No where on first few pages does it tell you that you are creating a membership for 150.00. It ask for credit card info for what you think is to place a bid at later date. Once you give them your information you are screwed it comes up saying you were just charged 150.00 for membership of 300 bids (@.50ea). I was under the assumption that .50 would be added when you placed a bid. When you try to cancel or get money back it says non refundable... I have tried every method available to talk with them to get my money back. So far no luck. I will contact the attorney generals office through better business bureau.

Total Scam by Swipebids.com
Swipebids.com is a complete scam. You are charged $150 when you register. I called customer service when I realized I would have a monthly charge of $11.95, but I was shocked to discover the initial charge of $150. The customer service representative told me the information was there when I entered my credit card information, but it is was, it was well hidden. This "auction" website is an absolute scam. When I tried to go back to the registration page to see if I could find information on the initial charge, I could not get back to it.. Don't be fooled by this website.

Swipebids stole my $150.
My 11 year old daughter entered my card number, she said mommy they are not charing you when I found out, they did. I called the bank and they said there was nothing thye could do, and the company read me a disclaimer when I called them. I got, got. Now I am not able to bid on or buy anything form this site. When i call them now i get a recording. So if you are reading this and you have not yet been sucker, don't do it. Some one is getting rich by stealing peoples money. I wonder how many more $150 the her stolen
