I found a much better online auction site. This one is a little unorthodox, but I think it offers a wider variety of ways to win, and they seem to have a better way to control naturally the "out of control" bidders I spoke of in an earlier post. It's called PonGow. Check them out, but make sure you go through their "PonGow 101" link to see how it works. It's actually pretty cool. They are also one of the highest rated Auction Sites on the internet right now.
I will be discussing this further in a future posting.

Online Auctions...the bad, the VERY bad
Revised Opinion of Wavee.com online auctions...run and hide from them.
As you may have read in this blog, I have had some very favorable experiences with them and one in particular. Well...I was wrong...very wrong. I couldn't believe what happened, and I'm sure you won't either.
My Story
After spending over $700 in cash bidding on their auctions, winning some (4) and losing some, over a 1 month period, I can tell you my opinion of them has changed within the last hour...yes, it only took that long. Here's why. I was told that an item, actually three (3), that I had one, and paid for, meaning they have my money already in their bank, will not be shipped until the end of MAY. I won the auction, and paid for it, during the first week of March...and it can't be delivered until the end of May...that's almost 2 months. This is the 21st century isn't it?
It Gets Worse.
I called them and found out they would refund the money I paid for the products I won at auction, but NOT for the cost of the bids. The bids don't cost them anything. It's virtual. There can be no excuse for this. I'm actually thinking this is a scam since they are not delivering the product but selling basically thin air...the virtual credit/bid...and, they said it would take 30 days to refund my money too.
Out of the $700 plus I've already paid to them, less then $150 of it is in product...the rest of it is in the non-refundable credits/bids. What a joke! I'm not the only one that is experiencing this since there are a number of winning bids that are not being delivered just like mine. Don't add yourself to the mix.
The funniest thing of all, is they actually have the guts to answer the phone referring to their customer service as one of their highest priorities. If I were you, I'd run as fast as you can from them. If you are involved with them now, beware.
