Swoopo prints its own fake money in the form of bids that cost $0.65 each and that last only 20 seconds. In other words each auction generates at least $117 per hour or more if automatic bidding is used. Swoopo is just a money printing machine.

You have been warned. Do a google search on "swoopo scam" and see for yourself. It is not the business model that is fraudulent... it is their nonexistent customer service and failure to deliver won items.

Along with that its adding a buy it now option to its German portal. The option would enable users to make direct purchases for the products for their normal market value. Though the initial working of the site can bring in a very expensive item at a very low price but that also involves bidders losing the 75 cents they use to buy bids, which often don’t prove lucky enough. The startup is pretty  useful as it already has more than 2 million users.

It is up to the person if he/she will want to participate in this bidding. @greguva: maybe you just had a technical error on your bidbutler or something, I really don't have any ideas on how those things work anyways. And what's with the spam, 3 posts same contents XD. You really have to know the bidding schemes for this websites first.

I bid on a Canon camera a few weeks ago on Swoopo. As it was getting late, I created a BidButler (a device to place bids automatically for you up to a specified number of bids and a specified price). I authorized 200 bids, at 1 cent ber bid. My BidButler promptly bid all of the bids that I authorized, PLUS ANOTHER 20 BIDS! Not only that, but the bid price on the camera went up only about $1.80 - since the BidButler bid 220 times for me, the bid price should have gone up at least by $4.40 (my 220 bids plus the bids from the person(s) against whom I was ostensibly bidding). Not realizing what had happened, I authorized another 100 bids. This time, it used up all of 100 bids almost instantaneously, but the bid price went up only 1 cent. When I reported what had happened to Swoopo customer service (a misnomer if ever there was one), they basically said that everything went just peachy and it was too bad that I didn't win. I don't know if there is a deliberate attempt to defraud customers, or if their bidding algorithm is just seriously flawed, but I would not spend your hard-earned money on Swoopo.

You will never pay more than retail price even you spend $50 in an auction. for example: KCBIDZ auction an iPhone 3G unlocked for $7.68. You need to bid between $0.01 and $7.68. Let's say that you invested $50 in this auction and your winning bid is $1.23. You pay for an iPhone 3G unlocked $50 + $1.23 = $51.23. Shipping is Free! So for a retail price of $699.99 you pay $51.23. YOU SAVE $648.76 that means 93%. kcbidz is much better than swoopo. You will never pay more than retail price even you spend $50 in an auction.

for example: KCBIDZ auction an iPhone 3G unlocked for $7.68.
You need to bid between $0.01 and $7.68.
Let’s say that you invested $50 in this auction and
your winning bid is $1.23. You pay for an iPhone 3G
