Ball Bids Opinions?

[OhhWatALoser]

its a penny auction site, which is well known to be a scam engine, run by two guys who seem to lie everytime they open their mouth, then get caught... what worries me is when they stop being obvious and dont get caught

Any proof of the bots? You could shut them down with that. Even screen caps of 2 auctions with the same animal could do it.

Maybe not bots, but they are definitely cheating.

More than a few friends of the owners have won multiple auctions during their debut. That alone was shady. Plus when someone out of their little circle won, the auction was convieniently glitched and shut down. The owners stated it was a server error, but everyone knows better. The auction was restarted later totally ignoring the initial winner.

Plus who would want to bid for an animal they don't quarantine. They admited themselves they don't quarantine and get their animals from different breeders. Plus their husbandry was rather poor. They posted pictures of a rack and the snakes were sitting in pools of water. No substrate or anything. There's a whole bunch of bad stuff ranging from poor keeping to getting caught lying. The owners personally posted in the original thread and all their lies were revealed and/or admitted.
There was some stuff about auctioning live animals and not having the correct license in their state being illegal as well.
Check out the thread.

If you could read posts on another forum prior to anything ball bids about one of the main ppl involved with ball bids you would know why. Trust you would just need to know the history.

Looks like they just had another server error.

The freeze tonight was caused by an attack. This is very rare but it does happen. Rest assure that BallBids does and will continue to do everything in its power to prevent this from happening. However in the rare case that an attack actually effects the outcome of an auction, all users will have their bids returned and the auction will be rescheduled at a later time and date as decided by BallBids.

Please understand that this type of an attack is very rare and something that we cannot prevent. We make sure that if such an attack occurs, none of our customers are treated unfairly. Thanks for your Understanding and Loyalty

obviously someone doesn't like them lol

Big fat lying sacks of crap. The whole lot of them. Go ahead and spend your money, everyone gets lucky once in a while and maybe it's your turn. But, if you do and get the poopy end of the stick, don't come here looking for sympathy.

No, I doubt anyone has attacked their site. There's always a server issue, or an attack - but never anything that they've done. They're just the poor innocent victims.

Seems an "attack" happens when a normal person wins. Very rarely but does happen lol.
