I have been deceived and ripped off by this online auction company like manyothers into believing that by registering for the site, one wouldreceive 100 free bids. Iused my credit card, to secure an account, or so I thought. I also entered acoupon code, to receive 'free bids', or so I thought.in reality, myaccount was charged $149.75 (plus overdraft fees) for a bid-pack thatwas 'preselected' and hidden amongst a dearth of advertisements outsideof the registration area, also there was no confirmation of saidtransaction. There was no mention of the automatic charge of$149.75 when registering. That banner is intentionally hidden in whatappears to be an ad. Any internet business which is not deceptive and fraudulent in its intent will inform aconsumer that there will be charge with registration (without having tofind hidden banners). This intent is clearly to be deceptive.
I started using my bids (I bid twice/three times) and then got an email from my bank saying I was charged 149.75. I called priceshuffle and they said I had to email them about billing. I emailed and got a response saying they wouldn't refund me and that I had already started using my bids. I started using my bids because of the misleading advertising of receiving free bids and because I knew I used my coupon code for free bids. I was not using them because I had chosen to buy 149.75 worth of bids!
