Do you think this is shill bidding going on

https://offer.ebay.co..._Buyer_ViewLink

Bidder has only 3 feedback and has made 18 bids only in the last 24 hours with all with the same seller

Pretty obvious I thought or am I wrong?

Now 20 bids with same seller 100% of all the persons bids with this one seller! :thumbsup:

Bidders 3 feedbacks are also from the very same seller. Check out sellers feedback you'll see the one with 3 feedbacks about half way down. If ya click "view item" and then click "bids" you'll see he has the same code as the present bidder.

Not yet- Needed someone to confirm it for me!

Cheers Ged

Thought others might have made some comment

Couldn't make head or tail of it sorry

he has three different sellers feedback tho??? is he maybe just new to ebay ? just a thought

You gain feedback from each seperate seller. So yes t bidder has feedback from 3 different people but he has been a member since 1st March 2009 and bought 4 items from this seller and a further 2 items one each from another 2 sellers.

Not much of a strike rate for someone who places 20 bids in a day.

I've cancelled a couple of snipes anyway.

Pete the Alleged Shill bidder has the id scootersoulboy. he has a feedback of three yet has made over 20 bids in the last day or so with the seller Strachanok and is the only seller he has bid on therefore having 100% bidding with the seller.

Looks pretty obvious to me but I could be wrong!

The other give away is the bidder does not bid at the last minute or doesnt have any repeat bids- because if that was me I would want to see if the previous bidder has gone anywhere near my limit.

No problem, you bid away.

I'll give them a miss though if you don't mind.

Apologies offered if wrong (Unreserved). However Seargent Ernie thinks he might be right on this one and Ebay have removed most of the listings and the bidders feedback has gone down in number and all feedback left to the bidder from the seller from any previous transactions seemed to have disappeared.Conspiracy theory? HMMMM! :hatsoff2:

If you want conspiracy then watch "The Event" on tv tonight!

i actually watch that show, I think it's awesome (really). started off slow but now it's really good.

Maybe he likes to buy records from this guy as they both live in Angus and he can save on the postage by picking them up when he pops round for Sunday dinner in person. :yes:

Piffle! :yes:

Back on topic, couldn't this bloke just get his mates to bid up his record? Or have I missed the point?

Wondered where his 45 sales went last night !! They were on my watch list and vanished - thought it was an Ebay bug as they did show 2 completed listings around 6 30 pm ish...

Oh well fingers crossed as I purchased some Kent albums from the seller .. be interesting to see if he is suspended by the Bay....ohmy.gif
