The site it generally safe by itself, but not when dealing with member's & purchasing/selling. Although because of the ease of advertising an item on the site and ease of speedy transactions, it is overall, a very easy target for scammers and fraudsters to get publicity and con money out of the public. Seems things are just going from bad to worse. There are so many fraudsters on this site, its unbelievable.
A seller signs up, advertisers his item, the item/s are purchased by one or several, the money is paid... the buyer anxiously awaits for the item.. all in vain. Hopefully the secuirity will be tighter in the near future, I hope bidorbuy can do something about the HUGE amount of fraudsters that use their website. The site is open to many scams, just be very careful when using this site. What I also notice is that it is very easy to obtain bidorbuy's user's email addresses (by just making a purchase) and I find this very disturbing, because shortly after registering on Bidorbuy, spam started filling my inbox. I hope this too can be rectified in future I do hope that my comments & advice is appreciated.
@carhire001 - send PM to carehire001 to get more information regarding what fraud happened as our fraud-department is not aware of any issues reported.
With regards to access to email addresses: It is obvious that once a sale is concluded, bidorbuy notifies both seller and buyer about the concluded transaction and shows the buyers/sellers details in email as well as on the system for the transaction. This is highlighted in the terms & conditions and privacy policy and necessary as buyer and seller arrange delivery of goods and without sharing this information how will the seller be able to ship an item?
There is something thrilling about winning an auction in the midst of stiff competition! I've bought and sold about 20 items on bidorbuy and every transaction has been pretty smooth so far.
Safe site.
I can only offer "technical" ratings and comments since I am not a customer / regular site visitor.

My experience has been very good. The vendor reliability and child safety rating may be unfair, as it is difficult to eliminate wrong or fraudulent listings entirely. Trustworthiness is exceptional. BoB management does an excellent job in resolving issues reported to them by their members.
very customer-focused with good security and customer support
