tep392 #1 Posted May 11, 2013 If any Jag owners here are bidding on these items, please be aware that these are Fernando Marrin's and he is using two of his shill accounts to bid them up. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 300902311952 eBay Auction -- Item Number: 300902750704 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Gemintronic #2 Posted May 11, 2013 Not doubting you. How does one prove that he's using shill accounts? I'd like to identify these kinds of shenanigans myself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tep392 #3 Posted May 11, 2013 If you click on the shill accounts bid's you will see they are all with this seller. Also, if you check the items they won, they are all items he sold and they were all re-listed later. He's been using these same acounts for a while now. 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AtariLeaf #4 Posted May 11, 2013 With that kind of evidence, I would think reporting them to ebay and having them shut down would be easy, or does ebay not care? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tep392 #9 Posted May 12, 2013 Looks like the Skunkboard was ended early "no longer available". His shill account won the copy of Atari Karts. I expect it to be offered to the next highest bidder or to be listed again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chilly Willy #11 Posted May 12, 2013 Inner Grammar Nazi: Shouldn't the thread title be "Beware, Jag Owners - eBay Scamming"? As it is, it's telling us to beware of Jaguar owners, not to beware of eBay scammers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zerosquare #12 Posted May 12, 2013 It's still sound advice. I've always felt that Jag owners were, at least, slightly crazy. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tep392 #13 Posted May 18, 2013 Looks like Atari Karts is back up for sale. I guess the winner was indeed his shill account. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 300904438142 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carmel_andrews #14 Posted May 18, 2013 Report this item : Listing Practices : Fraudulent listing activities : Seller is using other accounts to inflate item price Didn't someone from up north (I think it was Durham) get done for selling via shill accounts on ebay (I think he got a 50K fine or something) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
