Interesting,
according to this article, bidding on your own auction to
inflate the price is illegal in the US.
It would be nice if eBay could get there act together on this.
Last night I reported one user and it turns out he had
15 different accounts that he was using to bid on his own auctions.
And I am still really ticked off about
Michael Busse ( ebay user panamacityfl )
who used two shill accounts to push up all the prices
on all his auctions.
If that wasn't bad enough, he didn't even sent me
complete sets. :-(
BTW,
anyone know if he has wormed his way back onto ebay?
