Default More shilling on eBay

I got a couple of second chance offers from the same seller shortly after the auctions ended. This is an automatic red flag for me.

After checking the bid history I really think this guy is shilling auctions and then offering second chance offers. I checked a couple of other completed auctions from the same seller and saw more of the same. I wanted to post this to shine some light on this guy.

Robert,

Either that or he is the favored seller of the "0" feedback club.

That looks pretty obvious.

Would you buy from a seller on a second chance
that went that route?. I don't think I would.

No...I'm not going to buy those cards, and I won't bid on any more of his auctions.

It's very possible the "0" FB seller is a newbie who didn't follow thru---He seemed to bid on the T206's but not on the other '50's vintage I cked out.

Usually a shill will bid on the whole selection from the seller, but on the surface it sure looks like a shill..

Uh -- these cards sold for approximately $15. And we suspect shill bidding?

Default It's happening to me right now!

I've got 6 t206 cards on ebay and some 0 feedback buyer bid on all of the lots. For some reason, you can't block 0 feedback buyers, only buyers with -1 or lower!

I don't know why someone with 0 feedback would bid on 6 lots of t206s. It bugs the crap out of me that I can't do anything about it except for blocking that specific seller after the fact.

ugh!

-jason


edited to add: I'm assuming if he wins, he won't pay and then I will relist. I don't contact buyers for second chance items for the reasons listed above. It appears as if funny business is going on. I don't have a problem losing the $1 to relist, but now you wait another week, etc. and I don't like the appearance of impropriety.

Good points.

I believe one of the original auctions had 2 "0" feedback bidders, must be a virus.

What kind of feedback do you need to have to bid on 6 t206 cards. At one time your feedback was 0 also.
