FooPile.com Review
These “pay per bid” sites are popping up left and right. Basically, you purchase credits you can bid with. The lure is that you can win an expensive item, like an ipod touch, for next to nothing. The sites can do this because all the bidders are risking their prepaid bid units. While someone can win an item with only a few of these credits, the site collects ALL of the credits bid.
Most people don’t care about how much money the site make, but care most about if it’s really possible to win an expensive item for next to nothing. Well, it IS possible and it DOES happen.
A new site out there trying to get a piece of the pay-per-bid pie is foopile.com. I checked out the site, and found several items of interest including: iPod Nano 16 gb, a 1 tb hard drive and a Nintendo DS.
Here’s a summary of FooPile.com
Foopile.com is the home of exciting fast-paced pay-per-bid auctions. Every day we sell brand new top-name products at incredibly low prices in auctions that start at just $0.01. Take a look at the items we’re currently auctioning, and if you like one, then buy some bids. They’re only $0.49 each! When you bid, we also reset the counter back up 10 seconds – to give someone else the chance to bid too if they’re interested. If no-one else bids and the counter reaches zero, then you’ve won yourself a bargain on Foopile!

Foopile is a ripoff stay away unless you want to compete with their own computer generated bidders!
Just how deceitful is Fooplie.com? They use a fake news site to drive business to them. Beware of ActionNews25(dot)com. Not a real news article! Legitimate companies don’t need to fool the public do they.
This is an internet scam. I won 5 auctions since May and none of them were ever shipped. I have 10 outstanding support tickets that were never closed. They say that they will ship the item and you just wait and wait. After about 80 days I finally charged back my credit card and recovered a fraction of the value of my goods. I also complained to the better business bureau and the fair trade commission. They lied on the report to the better business bureau stating that my chargeback was why I did not get my items, however I had contacted them to tell them that I intended to do this if they did not ship in time for me to dispute the transaction. I also offered to pay with a new separate transaction which would cover my payment for another 90 days but they just shut down my account. They also has some withdrawals directly from my bank account, I am out all of that money.
I’m sorry to hear this. Thanks for bringing this to our and our readers’ attention. It seems many of these auction sites were fraudulent.
