I am so sick of reading all the negative post about BidBay.I am no longer selling there because of problems I had with other members,but I don't see any reason to go from board to board posting about my bad experience.As far as I'm concerned my problems with the site had absolutely NOTHING to do with Bidbay and I won't waste my time with all the put downs.If you don't like it,move on!!!!!Is anyone aware of defamation of character?I,for one,don't want to be brought to court over something as trivial as this!Why is everyone so bitter?There are a bunch of other online auction sites that have far more problems then BidBay,but yet everyone has singled out this one site to attack.GT has NEVER done anything to me personally and no matter what my experience with BidBay,I HAVE NO RIGHT to put him down in a public forum.I can only imagine how he must feel.People have taken advantage of his kindness and the same people that he has tried to help are trying to tear him apart.HE IS A HUMAN BEING and I can't help but feel sorry for him after seeing some of the post on here.Maybe you don't agree with him and the way he does things,FINE!LEAVE HIM ALONE!Why not take all this anger and turn it into something positive.Chalk it up as a learning experience and move on.Life is too short.

I do want to clear up one thing before I end.I have posted about my bad experiences with some members and I got so caught up in all of the anger that I overlooked all of the wonderful people I was able to meet through Bidbay.I have decided not to sell on Bidbay right now,but I will still bid as long as someones selling something I need.I AM STILL A REGISTERED MEMBER!I see the problems with BidBay,but I think after all the details have been worked out they will be a success and I want to be there when it happens!Everyone assumed when I posted about my bad experience that I would leave,but I haven't.I'm just not posting on the boards.

My point?????If you don't think BidBay's the site for you then that's fine,but you don't have to trash them.It's okay to share your bad experience,but stick to the facts and keep the accusations out of it!You may think your hurting BidBay,but your really just making yourself look bad.
JMHO!

How about an observation then?

BidBay currently has 871,573 items at their auction site. Applying my "divide by ten" rule-of-thumb, they have approximately 87,000 listings.

BidBay claims to have over four million members.

So just what are these members doing because they certainly aren't BIDDERS?

In fact, subtract out the BidBayBucks "transactions", and there's little of anything going on there.

Dimview,
Valid issue. Does any of the Koolaide sippers have an answer? I think it would be enlightening to actually know how many real listings Bidbay has.

We know what Bidville, yahoo and epier have.

But ~

Opinions are opinions and we are all entitled to them aren't we?

Everyone has one ~ doesn't make them right or wrong.

Why should one person be ridiculed for having an opinion and another be praised?

I still live in a free country, the USA ~ so far they haven't moved me to a country that affords their citizens no rights at all.

Please don't take the right to an opinion away from other US citizens just because you don't happen to agree.

I've seen people get really angry and blast Bidbay, then come back months later because of certain amenities and blast others for doing the same thing they had done!

Lets see, "leave him alone"

We cannot post on "his", auction site board, any negativity, any problems with the site, any bad experiences, or your WOMBed, HE'S EVEN TOLD UNHAPPY MEMBERS NOT TO VOICE "THEIR" OPINIONS IN PUBLIC, BUT TO MOVE ON IF THEY DON'T LIKE HIS SITE, but, were the problem, Really..............

Yet he wants to post here, saying were defaming him, really, a CEO of a company, that wants to "repeatedly" post here, AS WELL AS HIS STAFF, that we are wrong, yeah right. And while his site is SERIOUSLY down, with major problems, he seemed to have enough time to visit here, Instead of making his site #1, still a true ponderment.....................or maybe a true wonderment, who knew..............

crychek, only here, no place else

It appears tavonsmom posted to make a point and the point has been made.

If you wish to discuss Auction issues please start another thread since I'm locking this one.
