In short I was looking to buy an ipad. Doing a google search I came across www.bidfun.com.au and the site looked like a legitimate business, has stamps of approval such as paypal approved and verified by Geo Trust etc. More importantly there is a list of products that were auctioned before so it made sense to try to buy what I wanted at auction. I am a long term ebay user - a site that is tranparent and fair to the customer in all aspects. At bidfun you have to transfer some funds fist (something that should have made me suspicious) so that you can start bidding. Since I wanted to spend no more than $ 500.00 on an ipad I transferred this sum, thinking that I would be able to buy one or several products for that kind of money. After bidding a few times I saw my account credit being drastically reduced for bidding fees not for the intended purchase of goods. As a matter of fact, the system allows for so many last minute bids that the auction takes, hours - sometimes days to finalize. In the meantime dozen of bidders pay up to one dollar per bid just to hang in there hoping to be able to buy a product before the credit is down to zero. Being new to the website I paid over $ 400.00 in one day just in fees and did end up with not winning any of the products. The is simply a scam. A legal one, I am sure since there must be plenty of small print that you can read if you search the site explaining what's going on but morally it's completely wrong and misleading. There is no honest value offered here, many other auction websites are honest, this one is clearly not. Please look into this site and you will see within minutes what I mean. It's a scandal and I hate to think how many people fall for it, many a lot less savy than I am on the internet. This scam should be reported to the public to prevent many others to loose a lot of money very quickly.

kind Regards,
