I wouldn’t trust them. It would be way too easy for them or an employee to be the person you are bidding against. In fact, the way their system functions, I find it hard to believe that this is not the case, at least until they recoup their money for the item. When an item first comes out no one would bet on it first because there is a 100% chance you just kissed your bid away; so you need to ask yourself who makes all the early bids? I would say they either have the dumbest members on the internet or it is a scam.

Yes with ebay you just pay the company and their other company paypal, and all the hidden fee’s and the pennies they scam from paypal on a regular basis, and the extra shipping that the post office now charges since getting in cahoots with ebay, and the extra shipping because ebays shipping calculator supposed to be tied to the USPS always screws up mysteriously. Anyways they are both scams to some extent and in the strict current legal sense “Legit”. Buy and sell on craiglist and help us topple them all!

IT IS OBVIOUS TO ME THAT FOLKS WHO RUN AND OWN THIS WEBSITE HAVE IT FIXED SO THAT THEY THEMSELVES WIN THE ITEMS THAT PROBABLY NEVER EVEN EXISTED AS UP FOR BIDDING, THE CLOCK KEEPS INCREASING BY A HUGE TIME SLOT, THE SAME ITEM CAN “SELL” FOR PENNIES AND FOR HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS, IN THE SAME BREATH, THIS IS WORSE THAN THE CALIFORNIA LOTTERY, WHERE THE ODDS OF WINNING ARE NONE. I TRIED IT OUT OF CURIOSITY TO SEE HOW BOLD A THIEVES THESE TYPE OF BUSINESS IS, IT IS EXTREMEY “SHADY”, AND I WILL NOT WASTE ANOTHER BUCK….I AM STICKING WITH EBAY.

My wife & I checked out the SWOOPO site could see the gambling addictition,we purchased bids was scared but tried it. was only placing bids once in awhile when item come to the end I was last bidder usually this will add seconds to auction,posting pops up auction ended with some one elses name onthe bid not letting me bid again the clock had 2 seconds on it before sale ended I thought this was strange 2 seconds on clock they end the sale so I couldnt when the item,but paid for bidding so I took a ditgtal picture of my computor screen just incase this happen to anyone else .This site should be removed it is not an auction it is a scam you lose your money and the item.

Hi There, I have played swoopo and I have won some items. It is not a scam if you play it properly. You have to watch and not bid on everything. You don’t bid until it hits a second on any auction you are trying for. You see people bidding when it’s over a minute even 5 minutes. Those are the people who will lose always. I will sit and watch some things I would want to bid on, and if it looks to busy I will not bid on it. There is thinking involved and not just bidding thinking you will get it. It takes time. I won a couple of weeks ago a imac 27″ apple computer for 39 cents. yes this site makes money hand over fist, but you should only be concerned on what you are bidding on and what you might win by watching it carefully. And even items they could not supply me the item which I received for cheap, they paid me full price for it. So if you think it is a scam, well you have not looked at it carefully. If you jump in with blinders on then expect to be out a lot of money.

I tried Swoopo and it was a waste of money. You won’t win anything unless you get lucky or you’re willing to put a lot of money in to bidding. Basically, if you know what you’re getting in to, you won’t do it. I regret wasting my money on that site.
