if you all were put through the same, wouldn't you be just as pissed?
liar... crook...... selfless little prick, in his head it's always somebody elses fault too

My lawyer will be filing paperwork on Monday. For a $2k deal this asshole will be out 10x minimum and the little reputation that he had in this business will be ruined literally overnight. Very smart!
It was clear from the start that Mr. pussy.. I mean pursey had no intentions whatsoever to get this sale finalized.
Funny...
I had to literally chase and harass him, but least some unpaid deals got closed after a month, so good for you Bido, and you're welcome.
Too bad this amateur rookie' shit-for-brains waste so much of our time

After discussion with our solicitor, we will not be completing this auction. Mike Cohen has continued to make threats even after being asked not to by Bido staff. We're now investigating our options with Webster's Lawyers with regards to statements and threats made.
If any defamatory action is taken by Mike Cohen we will pursue the matter. We've paid the vast majority of the auctions now with just one other user being unpaid, and we have an agreement with them via email.
We were prepared to settle this properly, however Mike has crossed a legal line with his threats and defamatory statements outside of the Bido system and as such we will not complete this transaction.
If any of the Bido staff would like confirmation of this legal advice, we can have our solicitors provide it via Fax to your offices.

Hello Michael,
Jarred and I both called you yesterday and still have not heard back, what is the delay now? We need to have these remaining transactions cleared up by today - this is going on almost 2 months now and is extremely unfair to Mike. Please expedite the payment on this domain and let him know what is going on, thanks in advance.

Michael I am sure you can understand his frustration.
The question marks are obviously indicative as in "what is going on here".
Lets just get this paid, transferred, and we'll all move on... as professionals. Nobody needs to antagonize anyone else, period. That goes for both sides. Again, lets finish this once and for all.
Thanks,

Please update this seller before the weekend is out, if you have heard anything back from PayPal. If PayPal does not release your funds, please try to work out another form of payment as this transaction is now over a month old. Thank you in advance for your prompt assistance here.

PayPal still hasn't followed through and actually actioned the documents and unlocked the account but has confirmed I've sent in everything they need. Everyone affected will receive 2 Bido Credits per auction affected afterwards (I'll purchase them and ask for their transfer).
I understand your frustration, and I assure you it's not fun on our end either. We'll continue to check our account and call them each and every day until they resolve the problem.

Congratulations on your result, well done. We'll be making payment on this in about 5 days time, as we have to move some funds around (we've got about $5k of auctions to pay for now). Once our bank transfer into PayPal is completed we'll pay Bido and get a transfer performed on the domain.
