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.
