eBay listed millions of fake auctions to artificially boost their numbers
Posted By: Andrew S.
It looks like eBay really was hurting due to the boycott and sellers leaving eBay. Here is a thread about millions of fake listings running for 21 days that you can't even place a bid on: |

Someone says it on a message board so its true? I'm not saying its not but it looks to me like its a post on a message board, and the one auction they posted about is removed? |

Wow. I'm surprised this thread isn't getting more run, especially with the last update Paul posted. |

eBay deleted the original thread. Here is another on the central seller board. Reportedly, the fake listings were in the millions during the boycott....not just thousands. |

I'm not speculating where/whom/why the postings came from, and I don't even hold an private opinion about that. However, companies have gotten into trouble for lying about sales numbers to shareholders, etc (Ever heard of Enron?). Inflating sales numbers this way (if it happened this way, and I'm not saying it did) could have legal ramifications, if only civil. At the least, investor knowledge of this business practice would cause the stock to take a beating on Wall Street. |
