Registering was very easy. No awkward questions
Just email and password required as well as payment method, name and address
Easy to log in . Excellent customer service. Answered all my questions. Just sometimes it's difficult to view all the lots and to remember upcoming auctions as they tell you about auctions happening a long time in the future.
i-bidder allows auctioneers to bid on their own items to scam bidders and when you inform them then they block you & suspend account
H&F International Ltd auction
AVOID SCAMMERS!!!! When I have won the lot they started to add VAT AND OTHER STUFF. Nearly £3.000 on top of the price I bidded with.
They stole £1.700 of me when I have cancelled as the car had engine light on and different mechanical issues.
Please don’t do the same mistake as me . I have learned my lesson. SCAMMERS THEY SHOULD BE REMOVED! AVOIDDDDD!!!!!⛔️⛔️
Bought an item from Auction 247 via I bidder and was sent a different item to the one I bought. I was then told this can happen but it's an auction and there is no guarantees. Asked to return but wouldn't do it. So have reported them to fraud UK and various other similar agencies. Scammers!!
The car I purchased at the Select Assets Ltd auction for £3500 ended up costing me £6480 with all the additional charges.
The Land Rover discovery sport shown in the photos was not the one I received. This car was the from the ministry of defence, there was a big dent in the boot that needs repaired, missing trim, holes in the roof and also a few ariels, the interior of the car was very poor with holes everywhere etc...they are lots of stickers and adhesive all over the car along. There was no V5 or number plates on the car and luckily I found the reg on a keyring,
I have not had the car tested yet to see if it is roadworthy.
I would strongly advise NOT to purchase a vehicle from this auction and don't know why i-bidder let them get away with these total scams in my opinion
Bidspotters are being run by scammers. hidden charges over the other hidden charges unlimited feeeeeessssss up to the sky what a joke.
I won a car at this auction that was described as a runner and no major mechanical issues. When I collected the car it wouldn’t start/run and needed a full engine rebuild. Keep away from this place due to the cars worth I ended up scraping it loosing out massively
To be read in conjunction with Supreme Auction who were the intermediaries through the process.
I paid for an invoice for £340.20 twice. I paid it via bank transfer and then I Bidder subsequently took the payment again from my card details held on file.
As I hadn't received the goods, I rang to chase up matters having had no communication only to be told I owed £96 for delivery which I instructed them to deduct from the £340 owed to me. I asked them to confirm that this was all that was outstanding which was confirmed.
I then received 1 item with a further 7 items awaited - after not receiving anything I once again chased up the matter and I had a very curt email response both from Supreme Auctions and IBidder telling me that as I had not paid for delivery - the items had been relisted and I had lost my money. I have rang them on 6 occassions to try to sort this matter out within the designated time and despite this I have merely been fobbed off and despite the Company holding my money I was told I had not paid for carriage and therefore it was all my fault and I had lost my money - FACT Invoice was 1 delivery charge £96 duly paid from funds held by IBidder!
This is criminal and despite me asking for the courtes of a return all they have told me that there is nothing further that can be done!
Having dealt with these Auction Sites I cannot believe that the service has deteriorated to the level that it has and they have robbed me in broad daylight
They advertised as if the products are new but I found they are well used. Never again. I consider this as a theft.
Difficult to deal with and terms and conditions partly hidden purchased an item for £250 and ended up with fees totalling over £800. So be careful, I have not been treated with contempt like this before. I have used auction houses throughout the country and elsewhere, last time I will use this one.
The syatem is designed to accommodate people like me who are not of the computer generation.
You have scammers on i bid.co.uk called Richard maze .co limited selling cars at low price to scam them
Storage auctions ..a lot of these are made up or rummaged them resisted a lot of rubbish hidden in boxes.some descriptions are misleading and adds will show pictures of boxes with no items inside! I bidder are the host and many of the clients are genuine but some are straight lying.be aware
I have recently had my bank card details used by someone in Birmingham several times my bank have told me and even though the card has been cancelled they are still trying to use it 2 weeks later !! My card details were given to the auction houses via ibidder nobody else at all had access to them at all. So please be very careful using this site.
It's easy to complain if your item doesn't resemble what you're paying for it's an item in an AUCTION (Why it's in an auction IMHO)! But for me service is paramount & I cannot thank Susan & her colleagues @Universal Auctions Group Ltd for their professionalism! I bought a cheap run about with issues mainly for the dog! Even the seller was absolutely fantastic (Even picked me up at the station & texted me later that evening to ensure I got home OK - Thank you John) overall a very pleasant experience!
THANK YOU ALL
massive con site, do not believe their statements of 60 % saving.
best to go online then bid retail money then watch them say you are the winner ,teach them a lesson.
they give a timed auction then re list the items 2 hours later, they should be investigated by trading standards , i bet they do not have any auctioneering approved listing.
I was involved with this company via Alexander Aurelius Auctioneers, ibidder was not interested & I took to court Alexander Aurelius for misrepresenting the goods & unfair contract terms. If you have a good case go to court I did & they paid up prior.
Do not use this platform by any circumstances it’s a dodgy site to lot con companies sell dodgy vehicles and have no come backs if you buy a vehicle that’s not the vehicle pictured or it has a blown engine anything there could give a dam avoid at all costs ask yours one question why is this vehicle not on eBay Autotrader ect because it’s being sold on this dodgy site that let them get away with it !!!
iBidder host Scam auction houses.
When I contacted them asking them why they host scam auction houses (Supreme Auctions), they left me waiting for two weeks to reply, "your delivery date was confirmed on XXX"
Total incompetence. Total waste of time.
They host scammers; therefore, they are scammers. I will never use iBidder again and won't sleep until Supreme Auctions is shut down.
iBidder - You sold your soul to the devil; you have wasted people's hard-earned cash and ruined lives. You suck.
