SV parts seller on ebay shilling thier auctions

[Mighty Boosh]

:smt074There is a seller on ebay selling various SV part who is using another account to shill bid.

Shill bidding is using another ID to increase the price of the item/s.

If you have your eye on some SV part/s on ebay please check the other bidders and the sellers history/feedback.

If this post is not in the spirit of the org i would be happy to supply the relevent info to any admin that requests it, or see it removed.

:smt074I fookin hate shillers.:smt074

PS If you Mr "shiller" are a member of this forum.. SHAME ON YOU AND GO.......

how can you be sure?

sorry about that

[Mighty Boosh]

how can you be sure?

Where do i begin...

This site is a revelation regarding ebay activity http://www.goofbay.com/
Safe link.

I was bidding on an item and managed to place a bid just above the under bidder.

Another user then placed a bid more than mine.

Having outbid me they retracted thier bid which arousud my suspicions.

Checking the shillers bid history i discovered they had placed nunerous bids ALL on the sellers items, didn't bid on any other items only the sellers ,IE thier own items.

They had bid on items from the seller ranging from SV parts, mobile phones and video games.

All the shillers feedback, of 5, was from the seller.

They also had canceled 16 bids in the last six months.

Ebay is a great source for anything you need, but please check who's bidding against you.


RANT OVER.

For now.:D
