Just create a Google email account [email protected] and make a claim to the eBay Vero board that the peice is an infringement of some sort and demand that they cancel the listing. ;-)

They have made it impossible to know who the bidders on an auction are, and made it impossible for anyone but the seller to contact the bidders. I used to regularly warn bidders when they were bidding on a clear fake or repro being represented as an "original movie poster", but there's no way to do that anymore. Heck, even after the auction is over you still can't see who was bidding against you or read their feedback. This makes shilling easy to do on Ebay. Sure, it's against the rules, but with the current system in place, a seller can shill their auctions using multiple Ebay accounts and no one could tell (except Ebay, of course, but I doubt they are policing that sort of thing. After all, the more an auction goes for, the more money Ebay makes in fees). So, no, there is no way to warn/help this bidder. Of course, it's possible this bidder is a shill. -- JR Michael B wrote: yesterday, we discussed this CASABLANCE ebay listing: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160360019344&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT well---there is a bidder, with a feedback of 11. could this bidder think he/she found a 5,000/7,000 poster (albeit damaged)? in the old days of ebay, bidders' identities allowed emails by good MOPOers warning of the possible fraud---even after the auction. Transparency is frowned upon by ebay. The lack of transparency is BADDDDDDDDDDDDD. any way to help this bidder?
