I am also confused, i do not know any of these people , just an outsider.
But if his boss says he isnt doing anything, then why is he so remorseful? Why does he have his tail between his legs?
After initially reading the thread, i thought the guy had one id with tons of history, then created a new id to sell items and used his old id to bid on his items to shill the proxy bids up that other people had placed. His old id was dorment except for bidding on the new id's auctions.
One of the big reasons i have left ebay is the amount of fraud that goes on. I have personally seen shills in this form, in bid retractions- then re-bidding an amount just less then you maximum, and also in "selling to the second highest bidder" because the schill won the auction, then the seller asks for your full proxy rather then what you would have actually won the auction for.
I also got conned by Paypal scam as well on ebay where i sold an item, then the moment i confirmed i shipped the item, the buyer took his money back. Paypal gives the buyer protection, not the seller. I never sold anything on ebay again.
I now only ever buy when i do not have to use paypal, and cant find the item locally.
