Foopile is a fairly new auction site that features a wide variety of items. These include gift cards, iPods, laptops, and an assortment of “odd” yet handy products, such as vacuum cleaners, knife sets, coffeemakers, camping gear, and more.
Indeed, foopile.com seems to have no problem with variety, and yet despite the absence of big-ticket prizes, bidders on the site are sure to have no problem gunning for the items of lesser value.
The site has a healthy community of regular bidders, and from what we’ve observed, all of those bidding on live auctions seem to be genuine people, and not bots. Another thing we like about foopile is that for a relatively new player, they offer numerous live auctions for bidders to choose from. Normally, a new site would start with 6 to 12 live auctions—foopile has kicked things a notch higher by featuring over 50 live auctions. Again for a new site, that’s pretty impressive.
Foopile’s auctions are somewhat different from those of other penny auctions. Each bid placed on an item still raises the final price by 1 penny, but the auction timer works differently. Each auction comes with a predetermined end date, meaning each auction is set to end at a specific date and time. This twist usually eliminates the problems brought about by bots and shills to some extent.
Another plus point for foopile comes thanks to the management’s efforts to communicate with their members. Foopile’s staff makes a point of getting feedback from members on how to make the site better. They also try to attend to complaints that have to do with auction and shipping issues as much as they can.

Although the management of Foopile (Paul Vernon)seems legitimate and caring, they have a lot of problems with fulfilling their won items deliveries.
I have outstanding prizes from March 2010 which haven’t been delivered yet. In total they still owe me about 30 prizes values at nearly $5K. They claim to rectify that soon bus so far it is just empty words. I wonder how many other people have similar problems with Foopile.

It has been over 2 months and I have not received any of my way/paid items. A long while back when I contacted customer service they said they would send it within two weeks. EMPTY WORDS & NO DELIVERY. What can I do?
