If Probstein were an honest seller, he wouldn't want shill bidders continually manipulating his auctions...assuming he himself isn't the shill bidder.

That's a good point. Retractions happen from time to time, but if it is frequent from the same bidder, or worse, from a consignor.........he should be blocking that bidder and/or refusing those consignments. He does have a somewhat huge operation going and I understand some things can get overlooked, but these are somewhat easy to notice things. Retractions are the key. The Bid %'s Ebay gives, really means nothing IMO, unless it is in tandem with other fishy practices.

Again, just tangential trivia, but since you asked --
MW1, all we can tell ya is basically what we already said and what we've seen in auctions in which we've bid. -- our bids have shown up as both "u***u" and "u***7" -- we've also seen the bids of a friend and fellow Net54 member showing up with two specific characters in several auctions (we decline to specify the characters without his permission) and those same two characters transposed in other auctions. Presumably, there's something in the eBay encryption programme that will change the "standard" masked ID for a second bidder if another bidder, whose masked ID appears as the same two characters as those normally used to mask the second bidder, has already bid in that same auction. ----------------------------------------------------------- Quote: Originally Posted by Butch7999 Trivia, just for the record: -- "masked" eBay IDs do not always come up the same for the same bidder (although they're consistent within any single auction). Our eBay ID has shown up masked a couple of different ways. -- a "masked" ID can represent any number of eBay bidders -- there are only about 1,600 possible two-character combinations.

The ID's aren't always a mystery either. If you already know somebody's Ebay handle you pretty much have free reign to track what they have been bidding on.

Help me out with this?
Ok - so I've purchased some items from this seller in the past. I looked up this item that I've purchased, and look at the underbidder's activity with this seller...
http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.d...Buyer_ViewLink It says that there is 100% bidding activity with this seller. Am I reading this right? Does this mean that this buyer only bids on items from this seller, or am I missing out on something? This card went for more that what I expected it to go, but I guess that doesn't mean anything!?!
