I went on line for the first to bid on line for electronics
I made a bid, they said I won the bid.
next thing I knew I won a bid for 1.99, and they charged my credit card 45, 00 and then 75, 00.
This is an online scam

I went on to your site in good faith, your terms and conditions should be made clear.so that one who is a first time bidder should know upfront what what they will be billed for.please credit my account for the $120.00 you charged my account.then I will be glad to report this is not a scam.it seems funny to me, that we must give out all debit/credit card numbers, before being able to bid.

If you are not willing to credit my account for the $120.00 I will proceed to contact my bank, and let them handle this issue, and also will file a complaint with the better business bureau.although I realize I should not have fallen for this scam.Every now and then we let our guard down at holiday time.

I closed my account and was told I could get a refund for my account balance. That was eight weeks ago nothing yet. Now they won't reply at all.

IMO Loretta file a dispute with your credit card company. I read mixed results from others doing that, but if I were you I would at least try.

See if they have violated the Merchant Agreement terms of credit cards. They are required to display a receipt clearly after processing a charge. You mention charges of $45 and $75 appeared afterwards. Mention it when you contact your bank.

Why don't you post details of the problem, what's the website you visited when this happened?
