Same guy won it the second time around for $910. The guy is obviously full of shit. Why would he allow the same a-hole to bid on it if he couldn't pay for it the first time. Looks like you didn't bid on it the first time. Too bad, you probably could have won it for < $900 or at least drove his shill bidder up.

He's got it up for $1K (or best offer).

UGH, Leon is this the kind of thing you can bring to ebay's attention? Obvious shilling etc...

The problem with eBay is they won't do anything about this. They're looking at the bottom line, and this is bring them in more money in fees collected. So why oust shillers. It really sucks as buyers/sellers.

It's though when you list a card over and over on BIN, and it doesn't sell then you list it in action and it sells for very little. People are afraid auctions are going to be shilled, so they're reluctant to bid on them.

even sadder yet...in addition to all the icky stuff that this guy has tried to pull off, these two transactions will show up on VCP and will artificially inflate the "market price" of this card to the next unsuspecting buyer.

As a policy, I reject all second chance offers. 99% are a result of shilling gone wrong. SCOs are eBay's clever way to allow shillers to try to get away with one, then have an out if it goes south.
