Re: Ebay: sellers using other IDs to push up prices

thenks guys,

I know it goes on, cause a guy I work with does this.......

but I bought an item the other day
and I noticed that the bidder was slightly pushing me further, but he had only one item purchased, which was from the seller I was buying from, nothing untoward, yet.... but I noticed that he retracted about 10 different bids, he would bid £12 then £14 then £16 then retract them to add in a bid of £20 then £22 then retract and add £26 and so on.

the person bidding against me, had been an ebay memeber for 1 month, and already retracted £2,900 in that time, and that this bidder always bids on the same sellers stuff, so I very much suspect that they know each other and are forcing up prices in the bids.
