Re: madbid.com on line auction

The catch is that you buy bids, so you may get summit for £50 but you may have spent £20 to get to that so you pay £70 in the end, each bid costs so much, that's how the site makes money

Re: madbid.com on line auction

basically you buy bids, you can then bid a set amount of times before you need to buy more bids, and when someone buds the times of the auction goes up so much, so for example if you bid once it will go up one minute so thats one more minute before the auction ends, this usually goes on for hour and hours so by the time it comes to an end the site makes around £5000 on a £1000 laptop or whatever it is for sale....
