As many others have experienced, I too purchased an item from bids.com and after months of waiting they began answering my complaints with emails saying that the item was back ordered, then it was held up in customs, then their bank had frozen their assets...just a bunch of BS excuses. They basically stole $500 of mine and now I am having to go through my banking institution to try and get my money refunded. Horrible to see this company’s site still up and running!
