BOB’S MORNE BOOYSEN DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HES DOING. THEY SAY HE PROTECT SOUTH AFRICAN’S AT NIGHT (MAYBE SOME WANNABE TOP COP)AND WORKS AT BOB DURING THE DAY… MAYBE HE NEEDES A WAKE-UP CALL AND SOME REST. spend more time with your 2 kids morne!! MY ACCOUNT WAS BLACK LISTED IN ONE WEEK AND WHEN I PHONED HIM HE SAID MY ACCOUNT WAS LINKED TO ANOTHER ACCOUNT???? THIS WAS MY FIRST ACCOUNT ON BOB!!!! I FAXED HIM MY ID ETC BUT STILL NO HELP. I RECIEVED 2 PAYMENTS FROM CLIENTS AND COULD NOT GET THEIR POSTAL DETAILS AS I COULD NOT GET INTO MY ACCOUNT, SO THEY NOW LOOSE THEIR MONEY SO HE CREATES A DANGER TO BUYERS ASS WELL!! AND I TOLD MORNE THAT BUT THIS COULERED COULD NOT BE BOTHERED AS HE IS THE “TOP COP”. PLEASE PEOPLE BE WARNED: NEVER VEVER BUY FROM “BERTMAN TRADING” AS HE AND MORNE ARE CROOCS ALL TOGETHER, BERTMAN ADVERTISES AN ONCE YOU BUY FROM HIM MORNE BLACKLISTS YOU AND YOU LOOSE YOUR MONEY AND THEY POCKET IT.

I agree with alot of the sentiments above, their system is highly flawed, for buyers and sellers.
I used to like them, but since selling, it’s been a confusing and scary ride, they seem to NOT tell you things you should now.

I too had bad experience w. BOB. I had payed for something,that never arrived. I complained at bidorby. They started asking questions about the deal, than more questions. After some time I received a questions from them, I had already answered. That is where I gave up. Although bidorbuy offers a refund for non deliverys, they did not offer and when asked, they did not bother to answer. It was all about R 300,00.I am finished with them!!

”’Bidorbuy”’ is [[South Africa]]’s largest online supporter of fraud and crime!

Go to http://www.hellopeter.com to read reviews on how honest people have lost their hard earned money through scammers on the site.
BidorBuy has no control on security and verification of registered users, and you will read that more than a Million rand has been lost over the past couple of years.

And if you want to complain, Mr Morne Booysen will be all too happy to block your account. Please don’t deal with this site, until BidorBuy takes some responsibilities and puts in effective control measures.

Hi, we all have the same problem with BOB. I have been buying and selling for many years on eBay without any problems, but since in this country eBay does not work too well in S.A so I tryed BOB. Despite having had a flawless feedback they blacklisted me because one buyer complained he did not received his parcel. I contacted BOB and told them here is the tracking N°, the parcel is waiting at the post office, the buyer just need to go and collect. But they could not be bothered and I have been blacklisted since.

2009-16-02 i purchased a mobile tv phone which was delivered two weeks later. The phone did not have a network signal and could not use it with all network sytems(south africa).I complained and was told to send back the phone which i did in march until, to-date i have not got it back and my seller Richard does not respond to my emails like he used to do before. i dont encourage anyone to trust BOB and i am so disappointed.

Also a victim of this tit for tat negative rating. Purchased a faulty product and when I gave a negative rating I simply got one in return. You get a negative rating for giving a negative rating WTF??

Mmm, my story is also about BOB !

Bought a ps3 online … and then the goods never existed. BOB didn’t really help or do anything to resolve the issue. The seller was smiling, because he stole from more than 7 + people. Well, I went to court, won the case, the sheriff is now on the seller’s case, (6 + months later), and still not resolved !

Mmm, if you buy expensive things … STAY AWAY FROM BOB ! Trust me …

bid or buy are crap! I’ve been a registered seller for almost 2 years. They blacklisted me this morning with NO reason. So i called to speak to them and was referred to the head of security. he then proceeded to tell me and i quote ‘you didnt bother to read the terms and conditions pages, so we blacklisted you’ i mean WTF. They suck and i never will support them again.

The great thing about the internet you can say just about anything without any truth to it!

Tom its great that you are campaigning for the truth, but open your eyes to reality
