what i was thinking....and u pay something like 50p each time u bid....fair doo's if u actually get a ps3 for £24 as said has happened on the site, but no definates and looks like throwing money away the amount of times u would need to bid...if i had that sort of money to waste id be on the online roulette....

be interesting if anyone on here uses it and has actually found some bargains....

No, but the concept sounds awful. It looks like winning requires an endurance event of you just sitting there all day hitting "bid" (and spending £££s in the process) in order to win anything.

Are there any alternatives to ebay? I have had enough of paypals nazi like behaiour!

I used to use qxl but to be honest eBay is the only really big site now so it charges what it likes.
