Bidbay

by inmopinion, Oct 11, 2002 Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
Bidbay is run by people who have a history of scamming others. One of the main players in Auctiondiner was the one that scammed thousands under Dutchbid. Do your work before doing anything with Auctiondiner. There are plenty of articles to find on...

Bidbay bloated numbers

by cdmedici, Sep 25, 2002 Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
Pros: can't think of a single one
Cons: fraudulent numbers, inaccurate feedback system, unprofessional management
Everything about Bidbay is fraudulent and bloated. They claim to have 1.5 million items. Upon further study you will find that there are a select few sellers "spamming" the site with redundant listings in large quantities. Those massive Dutch auctions...

Bidbay....No way!!

by MissGladys, Aug 16, 2001 Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
Pros: Free listings, friendly people, Bidbay Bucks
Cons: Items don't sell, too many Chiefs and not enough Indians
I have been involved with buying and selling on Bidbay since March. I figured it would be a great alternative than having to pay eBay's fees so often as Bidbay has free listings.

Bidbay offers it's own image hosting service, free listings,...

I Love Bidbay

by luckyme, Feb 22, 2001 Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
Pros: cash prizes, unbelievable customer service, very involved CEO, and as of now no listing fees.
Cons: selling is still a little slow.
Bidbay is a great new auction site. I admit they were a little slow in the beginning but I stuck around due to no listing fees. I got tired of Ebay charging for listing and selling. Then Ebay raises the listing fees and charges for listing something for...

an ebay wannabe

by mskittie, Feb 18, 2001 Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
Pros: easy image hosting, easy to find my way around easy to track bids etc
Cons: inconsistent tech support, poor search engine
I have dabbled with Bidbay since May 2000. Frankly it has potential but it appears the people running it just don't "have what it takes". The CEO constantly shoots himself in the foot, tries to win a popularity contest instead of running a business. He...

bidbay's eventual dot com death on life support

by fhumperdinker, Feb 11, 2001 Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
Pros: no pros there all amateurs
Cons: Yes they have cons involved in running their business.
Bidbay could only hope to capture 1/1000 of ebays market. but since it is a contest and welfare site maybe they should fall under another category.

instead of online auctions how about online begging for money. beggars begging for money for...

Pros: Have the best sports cards
Cons: none
Bid bay was conceived in October of 1999 by a group of fed up online auction users. They were tired of paying high prices and getting terrible customer service.

Bid Bay's Day's Coming!

by Mrs.Mac, Sep 11, 2000 Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
Pros: user friendly, cash prizes, Bidbay bucks
Cons: listings aren't very numerous
I started selling on Bidbay looking for an alternative to eBay. After adding up eBay's numerous fees, I felt it was time for a change.

I found plenty of "small time" auctions that offered free services, but something just keeps...

Great idea so why do I feel sorry for this site?

by slpaok, Sep 11, 2000 Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
Pros: Reverse auction. Freebies
Cons: Smaller selection & more dealers
How many times have you gone to Ebay and thought to yourself, isn't there some other way to ask people to put up products rather than that skaggy old bulletin board that nobody seems to read? Well, Bidbay has that covered by offering both traditional...

Pros: Great site with lots of potential.
Cons: none so far
I was introduced to Bidbay.com several months ago and I must say that I really like the site. They are a newer auction site so don't have all the publicity as Ebay or other larger auction sites. However I do believe that they have the potential to become...

Pros: MANY!

Pros: All the great Service

I have been selling on bidbay for 2 months now. When I first came across the site I was actually shocked that the listings were free. WOW I thought, eBay dont give their sellers free! eBay charges for everything you sell on their site. They are too...

Pros: Very Customer Friendly

I think it is time to give Ebay a run for its money and I think that Bidbay.com is just the online auction service to do so. The Bidbay organization as come up with unique ideas to keep customers interested and is seller friendly, two aspects I find...

Genuine effort but just a cheap knockoff of Ebay

by wgrace, May 31, 2000 Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
Pros: Efforts to become an alternative auction site
Cons: These efforts are woefully inadequate
I've gone over the subject of Ebay's dominance in the auction field and various competitors efforts in prior reviews (check my profile page to find reviews on Ebay, Yahoo auctions, and Excite auctions). BidBay has made an effort to make extensive...

Pros: has potential, some good deals!
Cons: not enough pics, needs more users
I am a big online auction person and I cane across Bid Bay to see what they had to offer me. Many people say that this site is (or is going to be) e-bay's greatest competition. Bid Bay is very similar to most online auction sites where you can browse...
