bidz is an online auction dedicated to jewelry. The layout is fun and fresh for an online auction, but bidz has had several complaints concerning the quality of their merchandise and doesn't offer a venue for individual sellers to auction their own products.

Reliability/Security:  

The Better Business Bureau has given bidz.com an F company rating, which means they strongly question the company’s reliability and business integrity. bidz has received several user complaints and has been accused of other fraudulent activity. Several users have complained about the quality of the merchandise.

Help/Support:  

bidz offers email support, live chat, and even phone support. However, bidz has been known for poor customer service and poor complaint management.

bidz has an interesting layout and exciting auction feel, but is solely for jewelry auctions and isn’t available for individual sellers. With several user complaints and a very poor rating with the BBB, we suggest you look for jewelry auctions elsewhere.
