"Bidz just declared chapter 7 and I'm out hundreds of dollars. "

"bidz.com
My experience with bidz.com was VERY VERY UNSATISFACTORY. Bidz.com promises a full refund, if an item is not as described. I purchased a rather large and expensive diamond and took it to my jeweller immediately upon receipt. My jeweller rated the colour and clarity of the diamond 3 levels lower than that advertised - the diamond appeared cloudy even to my untrained eye. I sent the jeweller's certificate together with the gem back to bidz.com within the required time and they sent me a partial refund - not explaining why. I am out over $300 on a purchase in excess of $1800. RIPOFF ARTISTS...If buyz.com is anything like or related to bidz.com BUYER BEWARE. STAY AWAY FROM THESE THIEVES."

"Bidz.com is a great place to participate in online auctions from costume jewelry to high end jewelry. I have won numerous items from them and I am very satisfied with the quality of items in whole. However, on 2 occasions I had to send items back and had to tell them why and they issued an RMA immediately and gave refund. They do not send prepaid return address labels but they do refund the return postage costs if items are not as described, broken, or defective. The drqwback is they take too long to issue refunds and they do not work with the bidders in lowering their "Reserve Offer Price" of items you have bid on and the item was not sold. Even they have great items, they charge an "Auction Fee", overpriced shipping, and sales tax to all according to what ever state you are in."
