i joined a site called ballbids.comon this sight u bid for snakes.i bid on a 2012 mojave ball python morph.i ended up winning it for 2.18.so i waited til the next day and drove to walmart which is a half an hour drive.put the 2.18 and an additonal 35.00s for shipping.i then proceeded to get the stuff i needed for the snake.came home and later that night i notice the snake back up for bid.they said their servers shut down for 20 seconds and they are reauctioning thesnake. then i notice i had a email from them saying i associated myself with another site that bashes them for ripping ppl off.when all i did was "x" out of ballbids and google it again so i could see if they posted i was the winner.in the process i noticed a sight that said say no to ballbids.so curious i checked it.i then commented that i had won and id let them know if it was real or fake. i was so excited to win because i never win anything and i had planned on buying 2 mojave ball pythons with my tax return.you could imagine how upset i was.so i then researched some more and found out that i wasnt the only person this has happened to.

And you received a complete refund Plus your Used Bids Back so you could compete again on that snake, just like is in www.Ballbids.com Terms and Conditions. And you say you did not get the private email relating to the internet issue that caused the auction to fail Ballbids sent to you immediately which included an apology for the inconvience. And you say you did not see all of the comments on their Open Facebook Page from the other 20 or so customers that could not bid when the server froze. Unfortunately this is an occasionaly issue with Penny Auctions because of the sensitivity with the moving timers in relation to lag or network server losses. Ballbids has always refunded all customers their Bids or Money back relating to these issues and has gone under construction more than once to try and limit these issues for its customers. Ballbids is an open and hones company.
