More than 1 account on Ebay

You don't get ebay bucks until after you pay for an item, but I guess it might not be too hard to get more than one paypal account and just sent the money back and forth between accounts. Seems like a lot of work for 2% though.

Not to mention the money you lose in seller's fees.

I don't think they are manipulating the ebay bucks program. I think some ebayers are using the other account to bid on their own auctions. Shill bidding is against the ebay rules, and is illegal. They should put a reserve on their auctions instead.

Back a couple of years ago, when sellers could give negative feedback I had 2 accounts. 99% of my buying and 100% of my selling were on my main account, and I had a second account set up for bidding on items that were questionable or bidding on items from sellers with feedback that wasn't favorable. This way I could bid on a card that was ungraded with a blurry scan or I can bid on a card from a seller that had a lot of negative feedback, and if I got burned I could give a negative feedback and the seller could retaliate with a negative feedback, but I really didn't care.

Now, with sellers not able to give negative feedback I don't need the second account. I haven't used it for 2-3 years, so I don't know if it is still active. As far as using it to shill bid, most of my ebay items are BIN's with best offer.
