Shill bidding
 

Posted By: <b>Jimi</b><p>So what do you guys think: Ebay #: 120058053033<br /><br />and the bidding page: <a href="http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=120058053033" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=120058053033</a><br /><br />My mind is absolutely shill bidding going on here. I realize this is not prewar, but I wanted to know if turning these guys in will even help. Has anyone been successful with removing someone who has been involved with shill bidding. Does Ebay actually DO anything?<br /><br />Jimi <br /><br /><br />(Glad to be back in the action by the way! I haven't spoken to many of you in months!)<br><br>Jimi

Most shill bidders screw up and top bid (and have to retract) or have much lower feedback than this guy. Also there were 2 people within $10 of winning bid so the auction lot went for nothing more than it would have go for if that guy who bid a ton of time never bid.

Posted By: <b>Jimi</b><p>Yeah, I kinda dropped off the planet for awhile with moving to a new home, a different job situation, a new daughter on the way and tackling the current 2 year old has been exciting! <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> Anyway, glad to be back.<br /><br />As far the bidding. I think I agree with the rookie bidding going on there, but it always makes me nervous when I see 45 bids on an item, and 34 of them are from the same guy, plus a retraction. Aaaaah, well!<br><br>Jimi
