Dummy bidding ( shill bidding)

[razor77]

As some of you may be aware, i am after a ps3.
I was bidding on the 1 listed below, And was outbid by someone else with 0 feedback,

I have seen alot of these relisted due to dummy bids, and lo and behold, This gent i believe dummy bidded to get price up,, didnt get what he wanted, and now it has been relisted.

Bad luck for him having to pay extra fees,
But i think ebay is rife with this sort of thing.

there's no need to ask as there is absolutley no doubt about shilling IMO......It's back up...relisted 3 minutes after the other one finished (same 7 games).......and numerous 0 feedback bidders again.

What a (insert expeletive here)

I might open another Ebay account and try to outbid him...:lol

yeah that is a pain... But with how much he was charging for postage you were lucky not to win it.

If i was you watch out for sales at places like EB Games.

Thanks guys, It is in nowra about 45 mins from me, so i was going to pickk it up.
Just a joke really, but ebay dont seem to worry too much, cuase they keep getting fees out of it.

Ive just checked the bids for current auction, the same bidder who won previous auction has about 8 bids.
