Ebay Auction That Seems Odd.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7950303819

It's that turbo clocks auction again... I didn't bid on it as I'd
decided that £50 was going to be my maximum and it'd already made that.

In fact it was the winning bid; interestingly the winner has much the
same name as the seller and has in the last 2 months bought 8 things from
the seller and from him alone.

I suppose it's all pretty innocent and coincidental that it looks as if
the seller has another account to try and bid the price up (although if
that was me I'd chose a less similar name).

He does appear to have a fairly shaky grasp of ebay. This was taken from
one of his other auctions (won by his alter ego): "WILL REMOVE FROM
LISTING IF ITEM DOESNT REACH MY TARGET 24 HRS BEFORE BET ENDS."

Anyway it's ebay, WGAF.

 

Betting ends!

*Gonnnnnnnnnnng*

 

If you think that is odd look at item 4523990267 - I have already notified
ebay of suspected fraud via a hacked account.

I think that's called "Shilling" and is kinda illegal under UK law,
and on ebay it is very much against their T&C's. If I were you I'd
let them know so they can check the IP log of all of the bidders.

that type of thing really piss's me off, ( along with being outbid with 2
seconds to go,lol).
anyway , i have a mate who works part time with ebay uk and have sent him
the link you gave and he said " yeh,looks dodgy, i'll see what i can do in
the next day or so" i'll pass on anything i get back from him.

 

by the way, did you notice the seller changed his id recently, and it is
only one digit different from someone who has bought loads of different bits
from him as well!, dodgy as feck if you ask me.

 

Definitely something odd with that ebayer.
have a look at his account history. Most of his buyers seem to be very
closely related in deed, even ones the have done name changes recently look
suspect.
Might be worth giving the ebay powers that be the nod.

 

He's breaking the EBay rules, and I've shopped him

Looks well dodgy...

 

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the

The runner up bidder, michellehannon used to be ash8880; I think the
seller's a bit confused about something.
