Can you say, "red flag"?

I've seen this a lot. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2000 Posts: 454 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2000 Posts: 454 | I believe that many of the eBay sniping programs (software that automates bidding within seconds of the auction end time) and other auction managment programs also have tools to automate placing feedback. The software could be used both when you are a buyer and when you are a seller. Just a guess.

The buyers buy a lot of them but ebay only counts one feed back from each person no matter how many items you buy, He actually has 1402 feedbacks but only 67 count. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 687 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 687 | Originally posted by Joy:

Joy, Your last statement is what I'm talking about. "patrick66" makes a great point: Originally posted by patrick66:

Could this guy be scamming people somehow by bid shilling and in the process end up buying a lot of the items off himself? | | | | | Joined: May 2004 Posts: 96 Member | | Member Joined: May 2004 Posts: 96 | So the seller just happened to have a batch of items (several times!) that several buyers wanted, all for sale to each at the same time...Yeah, right Some eBay members have what is called an eBay Store. I was looking to buy a mustang IFS from a guy in Oregon or Washington (can't remember), he had as many as you wanted to buy. My wife buys numerous Tori Amos items from the same sellers. I think her last purchase was something like 23 items from the same seller (beads, not Tori stuff). She received 23 positive feedback, but it only counted as 1 feedback. Still, you never know. Maybe this seller is legitimate and maybe not. | | |
