Ebay Seller = Huge Scam?

"Nomen Nescio" wrote in message .. . Five timers in past 2 weeks, I was the highest bidder until a few seconds before deadline. Then, miraculously I get a notice that in the last few seconds, some mysterious buyer overbid me by several HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS, rather than the $10 which is supposed to happen. On several of his lots, I bid $333 or so, then get his message that someone paid $690!! In last few seconds!1 ======================================= You sound like a troll! If you bid $333 or so, the most the next bidder could go would be $350 (or so). That is why the OP was complaining. He had the Ebay IM to notify him of higher bids. There were no messages from Ebay, which seems to indicate that there were no higher bids than his. In the last few seconds, it would be IMPOSSIBLE for bids to jump HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS, even by sniping!! You obviously do not know how eBay works. ========================================= This is happening repeatedly, which is highly suspicious. I see in newsgroups, apparently this type of activity is happening with some other regular sellers. Is this legal? Certainly it discourages normal people from bidding, especially when combined with supposed "private bidders" This particular Power seller has a large number of "private bidders" which seems very suspicious. Pro tem, I am not bidding on suspect sellers. By the way, Ebay ARe investigating this New York based seller, since there have been a number of complaints. |
