It's also important you warn the current bidders of any fraudulent auction so they can withdraw.
This usually raises the ire of the seller, but he'll get over it. "I've been advised that this item may be of questionable origin."

In-Reply-To: <007e01c44951$f9e612c0$7fd10...@ern> Message-ID: <[email protected]> I usually write to the seller to see how he will respond. I used to write to bidders, but the last time I did (to warn them about a fake phono they were bidding on) the top bidder wrote me a nasty letter threatening to report me to eBay and warning me to butt out. I think it is pretty obvious that the seller was shilling his own merchandise.

The above was his reply. Now, the name and address may be fraudulent also, but it was a start. If anyone lives in Chicago we might be able to investigate.
