I was going to bid on an item on E-bay and had written the seller a few times asking questions. I didn't notice at the time that the reponses came from 2 different user names. Time came today to bid as it was ending soon and noticed the same 2 user names (1 selling, 1 bidding). So I look into it and noticed both the seller & bidder user names were the same names I got in repose to my e-mails. I called him on it and havent heard back yet, I also filled a complaint with E-Bay.

I hate people like that [Mad]

Sloppy crook. A seller running up the bid on their own sale. That's as old as auctions.

At least I didn't buy from the seller. I'll wait and see what E-Bay says about it and wait to see if the parts show up again online.

Don't screw yourself out of any good deals by not using eBay. Just be careful and informed, and it's a great tool. I won a $200 hair dryer a few months ago. I put it on eBay and got $145. No way could I have got that here in town. You can find some awesome deals and stuff you can't find anywhere else.

Actually I sell tons of stuff, including gun parts (the select few that eBay allows). I just sold a KAS RAS2 for $250.00. You do have to be careful though.
