Bidrivals seems to be cheat, I have bought product almost month back and still they have not delivered the product nor they have any status. Pathetic service. Please avoid taking anything from this website. My Order ID is 639824 which was placed on 16th June and today it is 22nd July but no feedback on delivery yet.

Although the BidRivals website and its bid system seems fun and nice to use I had the stupid idea of investing over 200bids on an item, hopping that, if I didn't win, I could buy the product at a cheaper price.
Well, I was wrong...
After spending 218bids on a PS3, I had the opportunity to buy it for "just" 211euros. I was already losing money, since they price it at 305euros plus shipping and it's price is just 279euros on every local store!
Anyway, I do prefer to pay 211euros than 279euros for the same item... Or do I?
It's been over 5 weeks since I've paid for the damn PS3 and it hasn't been shipped yet! I've been reporting this issue since their 14 business day delivery time as ended and, it’s always the same thing: sorry for the delay... your problem will be escalated... I’ve even received a couple of emails from someone (or a bot) supposedly at the shipping department, saying that: "they were sorry for the exceptional delay but my item will be shipped this week." Well that week has gone and nothing happened.
So my advice is this: if you are considering using BidRivals to try to buy some item for a smaller price, hopping that you can buy it for a bit more than the retail price if you don’t win the action, well DON’T DO IT!
What about the item’s that you do win? Well, I never could win a action, since it’s too damn hard to win anything on BidRivals, without being completely ripped off... And I did spend some money in the last 6 months trying to...
In the end, it’s for you to decide... So, choose wisely not to throw away your money :-)

I've won 16 auctions on Bidrivals but if I was to add up all the money spent on auctions I've lost then I'm probably just about even-so I consider myself lucky. It's easy to lose sense of the true amount you spent so here's a good way to look at it: I spent £40 on bids-giving me 103 bids. With this I won an 8GB memory stick (RRP £26) using only 3 of my bids. The auction ended at £0.07 and the P&P was £4. When you win you pay the final price which was £4.07 Bargain??? Nope because I still had 100 bids left which I used and didn't win anything. So the ACTUAL total amount I spent was £40 (bids) and £4.07 (final auction price)a grand total of £44.07 for an item worth £26. The trouble is it's easy to only think of the bargain price you've just paid and completely forget about any remaining bids, and then with the good feeling of the bargain you've just got you try your luck by buying more bids and then win nothing again and agin and again etc. I hope that gives alittle insight into what can be easily overlooked. Oh by the way the only reason Ive broken even is by selling most of the items on eBay and just keeping the really nice items for myself ;o)

Scam comes to mind. Over a month to receive my product and had to go to paypal and open up a dispute concerning not receiving my item that I bought from them after losing the bidding war. Costumer service is awful! Don't waste your time or money!

Bidrivals has the worst customer service I have ever experienced. I used the buy now feature and have been waiting over 3 weeks for my item. I have tried to contact them and keep getting canned responses. They have no idea when my item will be shipped.
