2 possibly ebay shillers to be aware of

[superpieman]

i was doing my usual searches for stuff and i think i found a couple sellers having people shill bid their auctions.

this first card was relisted and so i checked the bidder who won and he has bid on 9 items in the last 30 days and you can guess it they were all items the seller was selling.

this second one i checked the bid history before bidding and noticed someone had bid many times so i checked their bid history 3 items bid on and again all from the seller. this one was a little more obvious to me because they bid on baseball cards and then something listed in the cell phone section.

so just a heads up to my fellow benchies it looks like shill bidding with these 2 sellers.

Twice I have bid on things before and got out bid. Less then 10 minutes later I got a second chance offer.


I mean you gotta be kidding me!

i didnt bid on the ernie banks card but its funny because he shill bid it up and then started the auction at the price it ended at. i almost sent him a message calling him out on it but i decided it wasnt worth it. ebay wont do anything about shilling because it drives the price up and puts more money in their pocket.

Good eyes! I ran into the powerseller...who had about three shillers with zero feedback bidding on his auctions...knew some was funny was going on...so I bid once on the items and the three shillers won each of the three auctions....these cards were serial numbered...60 day later....the seller put them up for auction again......after all of the data was gone from the previous auction....he knew ...if he reposted the items right away...He could have been caught. Best regards, David
