Shill bidding!!!

[BigBobE]

just tried to purchase something on ebay, got done by a shill bidder,

had a bit of a snoop as they had out bid me and then cancelleed last bid, so left me paying aboout £15 more than my last highest bid would have been,

15mins onto ebay live chat,

proved seller was using shill bidding,

i was advised if i didnt want to purchase item then to mail seller,
they would cancel any unpaid disputes from the seller.....







































oh and ebay cancelled her 15 other auctions.....

Its common, I look at the bid history and see the % rate other bidders (my competitors) have had with the seller...

I was after a tripod and 2 of my competitors had 100% bid history... (his mates) I gracefully pulled out, no doubt this item will be re listed shortly.

To be fair to eBay they do come down quite hard on this sort of thing
