Love the site
Love the site. Has extra features that TradeMe does not. Please put more money in to the site and develop it though. Is rather outdated/behind. It will be so worth it. Keep up the great work!

I like that through bidbud I can cancel my bid. I also like that I can “autobid” that becomes active late in the game.

Ever seen any items at $1 reserve and thought, yeaaah.. I'd pay $20 for that, but it'll probably go for $50 and I can't be bothered getting in a bidding war? Well I've won dozens of those for less than I ever planned. Bidbud has saved me heaps of time and money and won me alot of cool items!

Gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because sometimes when I place buynow price with bidbud then the seller adds a buy now price (equal to or lower than my buy now price) bidbud doesn't always buy it, it works most of the time

Great tool
Great tool, very happy with it.
Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is although I don't mind the old school style interface, the groups functionality is rather clunky / un-intuitive (but is v. useful, so worth figuring out)

Reply from BidBud
Thanks for your review. You're right, the groups functionality could perhaps be improved. It's completely functional though, and not used very much despite how useful it actually is. If you have any specific suggestions on how to improve it, I'm all ears!
Works a treat catching other bidders…
Works a treat catching other bidders that are sleeping . Top work Andrew
