Bidbay .........not an auction sight but rather a contest/chat board. An auction sight has a main goal of buying and selling. An auction sight has bidders, people buy and sell. With their claiming 4 million members, why are the sellers still complaining about no BIDS? You can go into that sight and click on most anyone's auctions and find page after page after page of listings and not one bid! (Unless it is for the Bidbay Bucks!) This latest campaign to attract new members by dragging the car all over the nation has been nothing more than an opportunity for members to meet other members. There are bids on the car, but most are from older members. The newest bids ? Well we will see if they turn out to be deadbeats. It is absoultely amazing that the people there REALLY believe Bidbay will take over the #1 spot Ebay has! Take away the freebies, take away the contests, run it like a business and watch it fall. They will be gone faster than feathers in a wind storm!
Comments?

That is the honest truth. I looked at the pictures of the PT tour and it was laughable. I can not believe they wasted all that money dragging that dumb car around to throw out Bidbay Antenna Balls! Speaks so clearly of the mentality of the CEO. Chat site? I am not even really sure that it is that, due to the fact that they do not want CHAT, they want posting that will agree with what they want people to know and that is not really honest chat. The cultish atmosphere is frightening. Bidbay will not EVER be #1 at anything unless you count them as #1 at editing and zapping members !! They are the leading site for that. Not even a real site if you ask me.
Just my opinion, and that is why I am.........TxTuffOne

So sad to see people sitting at there at the computer all day looking for a clip art hoping to win money! "I found ----! wow!," What a rip!. Oh, don't get me started on that PT thing. Just another cult following. I think bidbay is more interested in registering people than looking for serious sellers and bidder. Maybe that's where the money coming from with the " Bidbay has 1,085 this and 2,855 that" Get real.

If they don't get money by finding clip art they won't get any as they certainly don't SELL!! The money they spent on the car trip would have gone a long way toward verifying members and that would cut out a lot of the riff raff, but then again also cut back on their numbers
How did you do the red bouncy ball?

This is all stuff I have said a dozen times... The cruise is a joke.
Someone asked a while back on the board why they didn't hear any more of the TV ads. The answer from GT was that they were concentrating on the car promotion! LOL

The often read response over THERE is "Only at Bidbay!".
Well......... only at Bidbay do they rejoice when Bidbay's name is in the news for something bad.
Only at Bidbay does the CEO himself go in and personally edit the chat board and suspend members, (and I bet I know who the newest suspended member is!) Ebay CEO is much too professional for this plus is busy improving the sight and Yes, counting money, something Bidbay will never do.
Only at Bidbay, does a new person sign up and post on the chat board and get crucified if they don't already have an "About Me" page, auctions listed and several blown up feedback.
Only at Bidbay is there real paronia that everyone who posts is a resurected person in disguise or in a new user name, as though that is the main goal in life.
Only at Bidbay folks......only at Bidbay would they brag and claim to be #1 when their very own "pioneers" are complaining about NO BIDS!
Only at Bidbay for sure!

Right, I am proudly the newest suspended member! LOL!
I don't give a care. They are so very ignorant. I've been accused by the cheerleader of bashing the site on here for a long time, something that I've never done previously. But hey, I figure if I'm going to be accused of something, then I'm gonna do it.
They only want cheerleaders. Can you imagine how small the site will be in a matter of weeks? They claim 4 million users? Try 14 users. All cheerleaders who have won prizes or money or have received bribes and hush money.

Everyone,
Enough already. You have all been told time and time again that discussion of events that occur on other Message Boards is not appropriate to AW. Take it back where it belongs or take it to email - don't keep bringing it to AW.

Apologies! I didn't realize we were discussing things from another chat board. I thought we were discussing how Bidbay treats their people who disagree with them. Sorry!

Oops, again sorry Michelle, I too didn't realize we were discussing another chatboard. I thought we were discussing another online auction site. Isn't the heading of these threads Other online auctions? Many apologies if I misunderstood.

BidBay is the #1 site for Contests, Bidding on BidBayBucks Listings, and Ceo Chat Board Addicted thread zapping and membership expulsions and suspensions, staffers trolling there own boards under multiple I.D.'s, then acting as innocent victims, while they actually are also moderating the boards, causing many problems within, the so called "community", guess there only following their leaders leadership.
This sites CEO, and staff have trolled these same boards numerous times, as AW IS WELL AWARE, I think AW members should all be made aware this, so new members are not sent there without knowing what the sites about, or at least be warned, about the Little Dictatorship, within Online Auctions avaliable to members here.
