Reviews and Complaints

Yesterday they suspended my account. I might say there was no reason for this and it would be the truth, but I know why they did it.
You see, I won a big TV and they promised to deliver it within 8-9 business days, only I had to pay the delivery fee. I was so happy with this news, so I paid as much as they wanted.
9 business days went by, there was no tv, so I emailed them.
We emailed each other during a couple of days and they always found new and new excuses not to ship my TV (yes, it wasn't even shipped, as it turned out later). And yesterday they just blocked me and deleted all the information about me and my win. That' what they are. They are scammers. So never do business with them, don't risk your time and money, especially.

I have created account on Carson Services Inc. I have used it within a year and there were no problems. But once I tried to log in and I couldn’t do it. I got the messages that I needed to provide ticket to support in order to resolve the problem. I submitted the ticket and the customer services still have done nothing. I emailed them couple of times, but they asked me to be more patient and that’s was all. I still couldn’t log in.

Purchased bids back in September 2010. Won 4 substantial gift cards in Sept and early Oct. Waited patiently for a couple of months before I started sending emails and making phone calls. They pretty much ignore all emails, but each and every time I call customer service (joke), they flat out lie about the problem and then lie about when I will be receiving my winnings. At the moment, their customer service phone number is not even going to them. In my experience, they are completely fradulent. I just want the money I paid them back, as they have not rendered the service they took my money for...

I can't believe I was lured into joining Bidsauce.com, but actually, I can — because of their misleading tactics.

I joined Bidsauce.com yesterday because I am a Mypoints.com member, and received an email from Mypoints about earning additional parts for signing up. When I clicked on the email, nowhere did it explain how Bidsauce worked. When I saw that Bidsauce was being compared to ebay, it interested me, as ebay has become a disappointment as of late. Also, I saw the reviews you included at the bottom from Wired, New York Times, BBC and other companies, which I later found out were all false and fabricated. Again, no explanation anywhere about how the site works, but a registration form only. So, I signed up thinking that I'd get to read about how this works on the next page. Instead, the next page was a form to purchase your bid boxes.

Now, only after I purchased the bidbox did I recognize the scam. Classic "Bait and Switch." It was even more apparent when I got to see it in action.

I called the customer service department this morning and the representative I spoke to denied that Bidsauce made claims it's compared to ebay or that it has anything to do with mypoints.com. (I have proof of the email as well as the misleading and false website to get you to join.) In addition to this, the representative told me that it's stated in the terms of service that all purchases are non-refundable, BUT the terms of service only comes up AFTER you purchase, not BEFORE, like it should. The customer needs to know all the details before they are tricked into registering.

I'm interested in pressing a class-action suit against them so that they don't continue to scam other people.

In October of 2010 I purchased or "won" a gift card for $50.00. I paid for the card within a few days as well at the $6 plus for shipping and handling. After 3 month went by, I had still not received my gift card. I called in and I was given one excuse after another. I was even told that the only way I could sprak to a "manager" was via chat (instant messagging). I was promised that I was receive my gift card very soon. 2 more months go by and again, I had not received the gift card nor a coutersy call from their office. It was not until I threatened to take legal action, contact the BBB, and exhaust all other remedies was I promised that my guft card would arrive within 2 weeks. 1 months later it was sent to me. Horrible customer service, Horrible business! Do not purchase "bids." The money that you spend on bidding on a item, even if only it for $1.50, is 3 x what it would cost you to but the product in the first place. I spent $100 on bids for a $50 gift card and then had to pay another $6 for shipping and handling. Rip Off!

Beware of this fraudulent online site! My husband died only four weeks ago and I sold my farm and moved to ia to be near my son and family. I went online to bidsauce to register and bid on a tv that I need, as mine quit. I did not know that they would put through a charge for $149.95, and when I saw this on my bank account, I was so upset, because I do not have very much right now. I could not reach anyone at the customer service, and when I clicked on the contact button on the site, nothing comes up. They should be put in jail. Dont fall for this scam! I am an elderely widow, and should have known better, so don't fall for this crooked company!

I feel cheated and misled. It was billed as a penny auction. I bought a bidding package for $85.00 which gave me 85 bids plus they gave me 15 bonus bids. I started with 100 bids total. I soon found out that the pennies were actually dollars disguised as pennies. Example: If you were bidding on a $50 walmart gift card and it was going for $.17, that was actually $17.00. So, as soon as the $50 card had bids of $.50 or more it was auctioned for more than it was worth. Of course the cummulative total was from more than one bidder but the non-winner loses those bids. It is not a true acution where you hold onto your bids if you don't get the item.
There are other things I noticed while viewing the site. There were winners who would win multiple items for very small amounts; $.03; $.07; $.09... Those bidders had unusual names that you would just associate with a "bidding" site (i.e. "iwon'tstop" ) instead of the ususal names you see on most wed sites (ladybug10, beachbum90, ...). I think they were plants or owners to make you think the payoff was good but just for those people. Occasionally an "ordinary" person would win a bid but those items would not be the bargain items. They would be things like $100.00 Visa Check CArds and the bids would got to around $4.98. Which translates to realmoney language of $498.00.

The last thing that really gets me about this site is the scroll over. They will charge a click (not always but often enough) if your mouse goes near the bid pad or hovers. When I think of the time and energy I wasted on this site I really get sick. I will never fall for another deal like this again.

They took 149.95 without my authorization. I have made several efforts to contact them by email and phone with no responses. So I stopped the Bulls---t payment through my bank, filed a complaint with my bank and now filing with my state (Illinois) Attorney Generals office and the state of which this so called company is in. This sort of scam is what we all hear of and yet accidently fall prey too. Stay away and please make sure you check & double check its validity. [ C. Pavlik ]
