We have decided to no longer accept bids for comments. This will become effective tomorrow morning 11/11 7 am EST. We will not be offering refunds on anyone voting on comments after that period.
We have reviewed many of the comments voted on with @buildawhale and they are generally low effort and quality. Starting tomorrow morning we will only accept bids for posts. We feel this is best for the Steemit community.
@buildawhale is commited to promoting quality content and not pointless spam.

It is not that simple, I have handled 300-400 refunds manually despite having a no refund policy. I have gone out of my way to help every single one personally, even though they have all been user error. I have done this for as long as have been able to sustain it. The fact of the matter is I have a very large lease (almost 35,000 steem/month) and each return is not less profit, it is a flat out loss. I am struggling to just break even due to high costs of leases.
Everyone uses bot tracking tools to know exactly how much is in the queue and how much time is left, they bid on that information. When someone bids $1, $2, or even $90 that I have to return because they made a mistake, I do not get a product back I can resell or use, their bid is distributed to other bidders and used. I do not make more money when I refuse to give a refund, I make the same, when I give a refund I take a loss.
It is not something I want to do, but it is not practical to do 10-20 refunds a day taking endless loses and coming up negative on my leases.
So when someone makes a mistake, and it is on their end, should I take a loss for the money or should they? I do not make more money if I don't refund their money. I do take a real loss when I do, which I cannot afford to keep doing.
If you make a mistake on Bitshares, Bittrex, or almost any crypto platform, they are your responsibility. They offer no refund or support to fix it. This is standard practice and other bots have had the same policy and I tried to avoid it for a long time, and I continued to lose money and a lot of time for months.

Thank you for taking an active part in attempting to reduce the abuse of upvote bots that were intended to help the community out, not give rise to a bunch of one line comment spam abusers. You're not my favorite upvote bot service for no reason :) I make sure to tell all my friends about @buildawhale haha

Gibe back @cnts his 90 SBD please
also give him back his other 12 SBD that you have not refunded or provided service for as promised....

I responded above about the refund of the 90 SBD.
As for the 12 SBD, I do not understand and asked him for clarification. The post he mentions and the bid he submitted was voted on two days ago, so I don't understand this part. See below.

The obvious difference between bidding and paying for an upvote is that one is guaranteed. But I just want to know bidding for upvotes works. Do you only upvote the highest bidder?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

We add up all the bids and figure out what percentage everyone gets based on their bid. Then we upvote with that %.

so if the bid at 100% is let's say $150 and all bids together go over, that does not mean all voters will get less?

I just used it and it showed me that I have 3 minutes until the end, I paid some money in, and than my money went into new countdown. Looks like I can't rely on it. Or that's your setting of the bot (if there is not at least $XXX paid in, bot does not vote - and you are voting just when you can make every voter poorer and yourself richer). I'm just assuming

It is voting right now. The tool will reset the countdown for the next vote cycle (which starts immediately after we cast the first vote, but will still be voting for the first few minutes).
We are doing the last 3 votes and it will be asleep for the rest of the window.
If you got your bid in before the timer got to 0, you should have a vote any second now.

Dear buildawhale team, I mistakenly sent 5 sbd to get upvoted on a comment 15 hrs back as I didnt know about this policy change. If possible pls refund. This was the memo.

Our refund policy has always been the same, we have just gone out of our way to help with user errors. It is not a sustainable business as it has been making it more and more difficult to cover our weekly steem power lease payments.
