Re: Ebay: sellers using other IDs to push up prices
You may find odd behaviour from peple using "reward sites" if ebay haven't put a stop to the abuse.

Where a reward site gave 3p each time you used the affiliate link and made a bid (had to be over-reserve, but didn't need to be successful), you got people making multiple bids against a proxy.

I admit to doing it some time back, only on items that I would be prepared to win at the price I bid them to, though extremely unlikely to win - and risking more than one "open" at a time.

Got fed up chasing links, when it got harder to collect them - at one time, I was chasing a target, and doing the maximum number of Kelkoo, Pricerunner, and as many ebay bids as I could find "safe" items for.
