Let's talk about... BIDBAY.COM!

by kzdad , Sep 04 '00
Pros: MANY!
Cons: none
Most likely if you get in with a group of people who are on the internet and start talking, auction sites are going to come up! However, most people only know about eBay auction site, so this is the one they talk about! Well, tonight, I'm going to talk...

Genuine effort but just a cheap knockoff of Ebay

by wgrace , May 31 '00
Pros: Efforts to become an alternative auction site
Cons: These efforts are woefully inadequate
I've gone over the subject of Ebay's dominance in the auction field and various competitors efforts in prior reviews (check my profile page to find reviews on Ebay, Yahoo auctions, and Excite auctions). BidBay has made an effort to make extensive...

Bid Bay's Day's Coming!

by Mrs.Mac , Sep 11 '00
Pros: user friendly, cash prizes, Bidbay bucks
Cons: listings aren't very numerous
I started selling on Bidbay looking for an alternative to eBay. After adding up eBay's numerous fees, I felt it was time for a change.

I found plenty of "small time" auctions that offered free services, but something just keeps...

Great Growth Potential and Innovative Owners

by rangerlover2 , Jun 28 '00
Pros: Very Customer Friendly
Cons: Not as widely known
I think it is time to give Ebay a run for its money and I think that Bidbay.com is just the online auction service to do so. The Bidbay organization as come up with unique ideas to keep customers interested and is seller friendly, two aspects I find...

I Love Bidbay

by luckyme , Feb 22 '01
Pros: cash prizes, unbelievable customer service, very involved CEO, and as of now no listing fees.
Cons: selling is still a little slow.
Bidbay is a great new auction site. I admit they were a little slow in the beginning but I stuck around due to no listing fees. I got tired of Ebay charging for listing and selling. Then Ebay raises the listing fees and charges for listing something for...

I'm all the Way with Bid bay!

by noslexa Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Nov 29 '00
Pros: Have the best sports cards
Cons: none
Bid bay was conceived in October of 1999 by a group of fed up online auction users. They were tired of paying high prices and getting terrible customer service.


Today, Bid bay.com is one of the fastest growing online auction sites on the...

I See Big Potential Here

by vandenovers , Sep 07 '00
Pros: Great site with lots of potential.
Cons: none so far
I was introduced to Bidbay.com several months ago and I must say that I really like the site. They are a newer auction site so don't have all the publicity as Ebay or other larger auction sites. However I do believe that they have the potential to become...

Great idea so why do I feel sorry for this site?

by slpaok , Sep 11 '00
Pros: Reverse auction. Freebies
Cons: Smaller selection & more dealers
How many times have you gone to Ebay and thought to yourself, isn't there some other way to ask people to put up products rather than that skaggy old bulletin board that nobody seems to read? Well, Bidbay has that covered by offering both traditional...

by babyvalere , Aug 13 '00
Pros: All the great Service
Cons: None
I have been selling on bidbay for 2 months now. When I first came across the site I was actually shocked that the listings were free. WOW I thought, eBay dont give their sellers free! eBay charges for everything you sell on their site. They are too...

Bidbay bloated numbers

by cdmedici , Sep 25 '02
Pros: can't think of a single one
Cons: fraudulent numbers, inaccurate feedback system, unprofessional management
Everything about Bidbay is fraudulent and bloated. They claim to have 1.5 million items. Upon further study you will find that there are a select few sellers "spamming" the site with redundant listings in large quantities. Those massive Dutch auctions...

by BIGAIR360X , May 29 '00
Pros: has potential, some good deals!
Cons: not enough pics, needs more users
I am a big online auction person and I cane across Bid Bay to see what they had to offer me. Many people say that this site is (or is going to be) e-bay's greatest competition. Bid Bay is very similar to most online auction sites where you can browse...

an ebay wannabe

by mskittie , Feb 18 '01
Pros: easy image hosting, easy to find my way around easy to track bids etc
Cons: inconsistent tech support, poor search engine
I have dabbled with Bidbay since May 2000. Frankly it has potential but it appears the people running it just don't "have what it takes". The CEO constantly shoots himself in the foot, tries to win a popularity contest instead of running a business. He...
