That sad thing is that it works extremely well, but in the wrong way with the unsuspecting (or in denial) other sellers, and it screws up the buyers. It's also now tougher to prove it to the unsuspecting seller with ebay not showing the bidder ID's, and no longer showing the high bidder that won. A few years ago at least during and when the auction ended, you saw who was bidding along with their feedback and it prevented a lot of this. I think ebay is going to kill itself very soon. I can't say I would feel all THAT bad though.
