“I went on there as a professional I never got a single customer, despite doing everything they said. Please don't sign up to them. Awful. I put out over 15 bids and not one hire and they kept giving me different advice. ...which I followed and to no avail. .”
“Fake leads. I finished their free trial and my couple hundreds of pounds with nothing. only fame leads.when they open them you lose money. I never use it again”
“I am appalled at this service I was looking for cycling lessons which I really needed I first applied to an instructor locally based of course once I paid the 29 pound student fee that he requested or bidvine requested which ever then he completely blanked me until it was too late to organise some lessons then exactly the same with another instructor only he cancelled at the last minute this service and those 2 are obviously onto a con stay away from this service please look elsewhere disgrace I will be taking this further believe me”
“Despite them trying to put forward this image of them caring about their professionals steer clear. They take far more than any return you will make on them. It's a shame because the app is a good idea and if it was just half the price then it would be worth it for me, and I am lucky as my job as a guitar tutor is higher paying per job with repeat custom. But instead it is a Rip off.”
“***REDUCE THE PRICE TO BID***
Absolutely shocking. This may be OK if you are someone that is looking for a service, but you should know that Bidvine absolutely RINSE, the professionals, small businesses and people looking to go freelance. All I've done is pay pay pay and I've had nothing in return. If you're reading this and wondering if 'pros' are checked and are capable of delivering a quality service, think again. Once bidvine take their money and 'match' you, they are no longer involved with anything else.
It's a shame, because Bidvine COULD be the go-to place for everyone and outdo similar websites, but they've got their head up their ass and only care about making money.
Nothing but an absolute SCAM!”
“Don't use this company they are screwing photographers by making you pay for fake leads. Please be careful, I've tried using it for months and had no success at all just false promises but as soon as a supposed client opens your bid you get charged. They don't care that photographers are losing out.”
“Great experience! I just hired a Photographer for my wedding in October (fingers-cross restrictions get eased) & we're having our engagement shoot next month. It was so great to see so many options & are over the moon with the photographer we hired!!!”
“I have been trying to use the app for about 4 months and spent around £100 on bids and only got 1 secured job but he then cancelled on me. Most of the customers aren't posting a serious offer so you personally pay £8.50 to bid on it and they view your message and then never message you back, meaning you've spent £8 on nothing. It is too expensive and most people are wanting a full wedding shoot for under £150 when professionals charge around £1000... its a joke”
“They will not take any notice of what I need sorting and continue ro get the same runaround so not impressed have virtually given up hope of getting any sense from them .which isa shame it used to be a good site .some one says bark is more customer friendly .so will problem give them a try .”
“It's a race to the bottom. Lots of enquires. Most are not serious or want to pay a very low price.
You pay even when the enquirer doesn't hire anyone.”
“Bidvine is a con everyone that contacted was a fake it's just a wa to fleece you for money. I stopped my monthly subscription only to find that after cancelling I was charged £33 for someone who sent me a message. Avoid at all costs because believe me it will cost you...Loads!!!!!!!! SCAM”
“I hired a singing coach last month on Bidvine. I've been meeting with her online once a week and have been getting better. I'm not ready to take the stage just yet...but my confidence is growing every day!”
