cleanorbust Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 I has no idea I was sitting on such an investment. Wouldn't be so bad if the book was decently produced: the pages fall apart if you look at them hard enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frost Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 (edited) QUOTE from ebay shill bidding policy: "For the eBay marketplace to succeed, buyers must have faith in the integrity and fairness of the marketplace. Shill Bidding damages the integrity and fairness of the marketplace. For that reason, eBay has a policy prohibiting Shill Bidding. eBay's policy on Shill Bidding is very simple: Shill Bidding is bidding that artificially increases an item's price or apparent desirability, or bidding by individuals with a level of access to the seller's item information not available to the general Community. Shill Bidding is prohibited on eBay". end of QUOTE My trials bibliography: Miller, Sammy: Edited January 17, 2007 by Frost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although successful shillers earn Ebay lots of money becasue they bump the final price (of their own item) up! So isn't it unfortunate that the recent policy of protecting bidders identities makes it harder to see shill bids? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
