| I am certain there is a fair amount of shill bidding on ebay, and the thing is, ebay doesnt care about it at all, because it drives up their percentage cut. They make a big to do about TALKING about preventing it, but they do not, as it would take money out of their pockets. Ebay probably has the technology to prevent shill bidding, but will never do so.

I am certain there is a fair amount of shill bidding on ebay, and the thing is, ebay doesnt care about it at all, because it drives up their percentage cut. They make a big to do about TALKING about preventing it, but they do not, as it would take money out of their pockets. Ebay probably has the technology to prevent shill bidding, but will never do so.It would be nice to figure out a way of what percentage of shill bidding goes on. I got burned twice by the same guy, he ended up getting booted off of ebay. I ended up keeping the comics, the price wasnt too high even with the shill bidding. I'm sure ebay has ways to do database runs and check on certain ebay ID's that bid on certain items from the same ebay IDs.

Fuj (or a mod)...
Why don't you make a single list in the original post of the IDs everyone has
mentioned, then it will be much easier to see who not to use on ebay.
