“Sheryl helped me answer some questions when I first looked at joining Bidvine, she made the whole process very easy and I look forward to bidding for projects and working with many people soon.”
“As an independent yoga teacher, Bidvine has been really useful in finding connections with private clients. However, the charge on the account I feel should only be made once there is definitely work- not just a 'positive message' as this is very subjective and can leave you out of pocket.
Saying this, I have four private clients from Bidvine, which has been integral to continuing as a freelance teacher. I have also found the support on my business profile and messages really useful!”
“they made me happy about the latest changes and customer service is helpful and friendly. they focus on problem to sort it out which is great, thank you”
“I have always had a good experience when contacting Bidvine's customer service, always prompt and on point. Although I agree that many customers that ask for quotes don't reply or don't contact the suppliers, that can't be Bidvine's fault.
The new "pay for contact" system might prove to be an improvement overall and you will just pay for potential customers that reply and are interested.”
“I would like to thank you and the Bidvine team for their prompt help and support every time I reach out to them. They have never ignored my queries or requests for assistance. Moreover they have been encouraging and have come up with proposals to improve my image and visibility. They also operate the account in a very efficient and quick way for which I am grateful.”
“What's in the box? (behind the paywall)
Advert on one advert website (KM) with no mention of a paywall, clicking gets you a very weird redirect from Adzuna and straight into their website, then you get a window asking for your email address to progress further, then once that's done it's a paywall asking you for money without any other details. Just a page telling you pay that much and you may take 10 pot shots at whatever is hidden behind the paywall.
Turns out I am a careful fellow: if I can't see the product that is hidden behind a price tag, I'm not buying. Exactly like I'm not going to put money on the mystery prize at the fun fair.
That was at about 3 in the afternoon. By 7 PM they were spamming my inbox and begging me to come back and give money. That's when I clicked on "UNSUBSCRIBE" many times, but that only sent me back to the paywall. So no option left but to block them from my inbox and block the sender under the "phishing" category.
Quit asking, middle men parasites never get a penny from me.
Meanwhile, Bidvine is getting busy trying to bury my review on Trustpilot...”
“Bidvine have now made things much better for professionals by not charging for simple contact with potential customers but only when job is in the pipeline!”
“I have been using Bidvine for a number of years and have always appreciated their customer support team who are very helpful.
The platform is very well organised and I have always been happy with the service it provides because they are always keen to improve it for the benefit of customers and suppliers alike.”
“I used Bidvine for the first time 4 years ago. As someone starting out then it was a good place to start to find new jobs. At the time, they had a system of buying bids and using them based on the length someones request and the prices were reasonable. Then 2 years later they changed the system to paying actual money to win jobs and they bumped the prices up, now it made no sense. I could be charged £15 just to approach a customer and they could just ignore me, i’d soon run into a lot of debt. I noticed the drop in the number of people bidding on jobs too, they probably felt the same as me.
Now they’ve changed it again and i think it’s the best system of all. No longer paying to send a bid and only paying if the client makes contact. If they make contact to say no thanks (it happens) then you don’t pay. The system is going to be great for returners but also those starting out. At least if a client responds, they’ve acknowledged you and they think you could be a potential, not just ignoring your request after reading it and Bidvine eating up your £15’s.
Looking forward to this new way which will help drive more customers to bidvine!”
“Since being on Bidvine I have gone from no bookings to more about 10 in the space of 2 weeks so has really helped give me the boost I needed and allows to me to network with more clients. Really a great platform.”
