So I put one of my domains to auction on bido and it got sold. I was supposed to be paid immediately since I initiated withdrawal through PayPal. I have been on the wait since last week and I have not been paid despite the site saying it only takes a day for payout through paypal.

I am never one who rushed into conclusions but the following makes me conclude bido is not worth the time and effort.

- I have sent several messages to support but no reply till now
- Despite the site mentioning their online support are always active 1pm - 5pm Edt, they have never been online.
- The bido contact number on their support page always says "invalid" whenever I try to put a call through, so all avenue of contacting them is zero.

It seems all is left to run on autopilot.

It is a pity because I really needed the money for some renewals. Please stay away from bido or your money might get stuck like mine.

I would say try to be patient. I know it's frustrating when it's late. Right now you're hot but if you get paid shortly this will have been for nothing.

Could be buyers payment. Who knows. If it was a month, then you might freak.

As big as Go daddy is, they sometimes have paid slowly.

I expect you'll soon post that you got paid.

Cheers and congrats on your sale.

Buyer paid for the domain immediately and I was instructed to transfer the domain to him which I did. Bido removed their commission and added the fund to my bido account.I initiated withdrawal through PayPal and it was supposed to arrive in 15mins but here I am still waiting.

I listed domain on 28th of July, got sold on 30th of said month. Payment and transferred was done that same day. I initiated withdrawal on 1st of August and since then I have not been paid. I have sent various mails and tried to make calls but all was futile.

How long did it take to get your funds from Bido's Payout request date?
