Has anyone had any problem with this company?

Does annoying and excessive advertising count?

[But maybe that's a local thing.]

I haven't done any business with them, but they've been advertising enough, long enough, in my area, that one might expect them to have some record with BBB or Consumer Protection agencies.

There was a report locally some time back that they were complaining about "imitators" poping up with closely similar names - which might imply their reputation was worth stealing (impersonating); but the complaints disappeared pretty quickly in my area.

I've only ordered from them a few times, but a friend has ordered from them a lot and has had no problems. I haven't heart anything bad about them.

I get email from them, which is OK 'cos I signed up for it.
But they have started an auction and when I went to bid on an item they wanted my credit card number up front.

I thought that that was a bit fishy.
