Re: What to do about shill bidding... (Thu May 11 00:41:50 2000 )



Hi Sonia,

Thanks for the advice. In about 90% of this sellers auctions,
one bidder was the winner. And conviently the high bidder never
seems to pay up. They too are on AOL. I have not done the
user information request although I have been tempted. It just
galls me to see the seller bidding up on his own auctions.
I have no solid proof though. Now, he has a friend who is
increasing his auctions - he's been doing this for a while.
Prices are high enough on cels at ebay, he should be happy
with what he gets without driving the prices through the
roof even more.

I'll be looking into all of your suggestions and hopefully
have a positive result. Ebay does not tend to favor the
bidders though, they are definately in favor of the seller
since that is who is bringing them the money.
