Bidtopia
Bidtopia was an ecommerce site originally launched in 2007 as a private auction site for Warehouse86 Ventures, LLC. Paul St. James, owner of Bargainland, which had been the largest PowerSeller on eBay that same year, started the new enterprise in response to changes in eBay policies regarding high volume sales of brand name merchandise and restrictions on sellers with poor customer feedback. Bidtopia suffered the loss of one of its three distribution centers in 2008, and went offline and possibly out of business in early 2010.
==Unique features and policies==
Bidtopia was designed with innovative features meant to enhance the online auction format, such as a unique feedback system, a requirement that all items have the ability to sell for as little as 99 cents, and "popcorn bidding", a response to concerns about last second bids, or auction "sniping", wherein the auction deadline was extended by one minute if there was a bid within the last minute before the auction was to close. Bidtopia later allowed other sellers with online business experience into their marketplace, and added the requirement that seller accounts and bidder accounts be mutually exclusive, as their needs and desires are vastly different. Under Bidtopia's feedback system buyers were allowed to leave a positive, neutral or negative feedback message for a seller for any reason, at any time after the completion of the auction, and even in the event that the sale itself was not completed. Sellers, however, were limited to making a +1 or -1 change to the buyer's Transaction Score, a metric of how many times the buyer had followed through with payment for auctions they had won. Bidtopia's philosophy was that a bidder had a single obligation in the auction transaction, to pay for their order in a timely fashion. The buyer would receive a -1 in the event that a seller reported that they had not paid promptly, and would receive a +1 in the event that the seller reported a successful transaction. The buyer would also automatically receive a +1 if after 30 days the seller had failed to make a negative report. Any bidder whose account accrued a Transaction Score of less than 90%, and had 5 or more negative transactions would be suspended from further bidding.
