I've bid on email auctions now for the last 11 years almost daily. Also every
time a new bidder to the system may bid this way until they get the hang of
things, but one thing they almost never do is drive an item up that high, one
small amount at a time... a lack of trust. Once they are

It's one thing to think an auction has a shill bidder, it's another thing to
post your thoughts on MOPO. You are after all only guessing that this auction
had a shill bidder. Which I doubt by the way.
If this auction had a shill bidder, he was a crappy at it because he won.

Doug - Just so I understand this you were high bidder and this guy came in
near the end and bid multiple times in $2 increments until he bested your top
bid and won the item or, as an extended auction format, you kept bidding
against him raising his ante and he just kept upping you by
in defense of Rich:
saying there was a shill bidder is the meanest thing to say about an
auctioneer. based upon the facts contained in the accusation, it seemed
without
merit.
i was in a bidding war on bruce's site 2 months ago, and the other bidder
kept increasing his/her bid by
Phil's response is spot on. I see nothing here that indicates shilling.
Looks to me like two bidders went at it and one was willing pay more than
the other. It's what's known as an auction. By the way, I got tied up was
going to bid on a few items and had I done so, I would have shown zero bid
Maybe the guy was bidding while rolling nickels from his piggie bank. Every
time he completed a roll, he upped his bid by $2. It might have been faster if
he was rolling quarters but he had to save those for the laundramat.

If you sell on Ebay and you have an Ebay store, you probably are well aware
of the rocketing costs to have a store. To keep listing fees down, I
switched to a premium store for 49.95 a month. This allows you to still put
a listing up for 5 cents.
BUT BEWARE: here is a fee that increased
hahahahahahahaha
good one.

I don't think so. I bid in small incriments so that if a competing
bidder just gets resentful and starts bidding to make me pay more for
shits and giggles, he can't drive me up without running the risk of
winning it at a price he does not want to pay. Also actually helps
thwart a shill.
yes, that is truebut to be fair...ebay did warn sellers about
this increase several months ago.
it is because listings are no longer hidden in your store..they are
in the main ebay search where everyone can see them.
We had subtitles on about 1000 of our listings.it
Hey Dave and Dave,
Actually I am in the same boat as you. However, while the subtitle fee did
go up to $1.50, what is happening is that good till cancelled auctions have the
subtitle dropped off on it's first renewal. I talked to the power seller
department last week at ebay and check

I understand the anger here because I am so tired of some sellers - not the
majority at all but they stand out - mailing vintage items with no
protection or bad protection. For example, I bought two very nice stills
last week. When I got them, they had been mailed with cardboard that had
bends
I can feel your pain.
And to reduce these painful events, I always ask sellers that are new to me to
package carefully, mark DO NOT BEND, sleeve the posters in a tube, etc, etc.
I ask very nicely and then, I always follow up that request with a I will
leave feedback upon receipt to remind them
Thank you for the advice. This seller was not new to me and their items
have always arrived in good condition before this. I just emailed the
seller, letting them know that I was not happy.
The problem here was that the cardboard already had creases in it. The
seller didn't use good cardboard
