coleconut Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 (edited) Ebayer eBay Seller: suprememanifestation7 has a shill bidder (self, I would assume) eBay Seller: bobbiemerchant who has made 240 bids in total, 3 bid retractions, won a few items, 100% of which are for items sold by this seller. All kinds of different items like vintage gaming, clothing, ebay motors, musical instruments, crafts. Reported them, pretty sure nothing will be done.

horseboy Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 How were you able to figure out the bidder username? That stuff is hidden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceDice2010 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) How were you able to figure out the bidder username? That stuff is hidden. Only if the seller keeps it hidden. Look at the feedback. The minute the seller leaves feedback it becomes available. You can have some fun looking at feedback and linking it to items. I know what a lot of people pay for the items that they buy and resell this way. (As well as finding out the bidding names of ebay re-sellers.)

stjames88 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Yes....Mwahahaha...the feedback is the key. I have done this a few times to see who outbids me. I liked it better back in the day when everything was available for all to see. I do understand why they changed it though as I knew a fellow who would routinely check a certain buyers current bids, and bid all of them up about 10% just to be a douche. Kinda funny though.

SpaceDice2010 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) Not only that but in some cases like Tickets it was brutal. Other sellers would be constantly contacting bidders on the same ticket and making deals. This cuts down on the side deals a lot. I am actually glad that sellers can't contact bidders on other auctions. Edited March 30, 2011 by SpaceDice2010 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
