Fraud and against the rules of bidding and auctions.
The website shows really good items and vans I was very happy to bidding on here but I feel like a reboot from the website is binding with me to make items expensive.ones you stop bidding and time is off the item comes up again for bidding with same high price where I left it.
It's a joke 🤣

This has become a marketplace for every crooked scam artist to sell junk goods and cars. Used to be a credible Auction Forum but now just full of broken junk from the likes of Supreme Auctions etc. I suspect most of them just rifle through skips for stuff to sell!
Certainly not bothered about customers just cash greedy commission grabbing auction site.

Majority of items are junk

Majority of items are junk, don’t make the same mistake as me by buying someone else’s problem.
Messaged bidspotter with no response, auctioneers were rude and quite intimidating.
Please avoid!!

I’ve just started using bid spotter and haven’t had a problem but I have only purchased from supreme auctions who go above and beyond to help, my items has been as described, ok there.

Delivery fee is ridiculously expensive and they don't tell you until it’s too late. Also the items mostly come in damaged or used and they tell you there's nothing you can do about it. They only post the original pictures for illustration so you don’t know the condition of what you’re buying and they don’t even put it in the description which is clearly misleading. I got a headset for 20£, clearly broken in pieces with no ear muffs. You couldn’t even give that out for free. Avoid them at all cost

EDWARDS & GERALD AUCTIONEERS

SCAM! PLEASE BE AWARE!
Bought a car from ‘Edwards & Gerald Auctioneers’ after confirming with Bid Spotter that this company has had no complaints however i was lied to. The car was listed as ‘runs & drives’ and no issues were stated on the description, i also contacted Edwards & Gerald Auctioneers several times before the auction asking if the vehicle had any known issues or warnings light, i was told it was an ‘excellent clean car’. I spent over £10k on the car and when it got delivered i noticed issues instantly and when i had a mechanic check the vehicle i was told it needs a new turbo which will cost over £1500 including labor as well as several issues with the engine, now im stuck with a broken vehicle and £10,000 in debt as it was a bank loan. Please save yourself the time, money and headache. Avoid these scammers, if you are desperate then view the vehicles in person along with a mechanic.

Disappointed that a company they allow to list on their website can screw people over and bidspotter do nothing to provide any help or support.

I contacted customer services 3 times and still nothing. The auction was Supreme auctions listed through bid spotter.

The situation was…

Bought an item. Description was incorrect I contacted them immediately and was told it’s my fault because I didn’t view the item at auction. But it was an online auction made accessible for those who could not visit, it is their error in the description but they have refused a refund, refused any support and blocked me.

I hope trading standards wipe the floor with them I have lost £280 :( the item was a present for my partner who has just gone self employed, after leaving the military, the item was to help excel his work and bring in more income. We have a baby due next month and cannot afford the loss financially.

Bidspotter has become a platform for scammers selling. They don't care as long as they get paid. It's like an eBay where they deliberately allows scammers to list items so they can get a commission. No guidelines or ethics for listing for sellers. Think maybe run by same people at supreme auctions.
