    Default Shill bidding anyone???

    If this isn't shill bidding then what is???

    Here is a perfect example of what "NOT" to get caught up in.

    Look at the bid history. I mean c'mon. At least change the name up a bit more...Geez.

    Seller is a zero feedbacker.

    Name: osula_0001

    Guess who keeps bidding the machine up. Also a zero feedbacker with a common "0001" after their name: monariza_0001

    Names are too similar and circumstances as well and both are registered in Japan. While the ad states will ship to US only, but also world wide. I think someone in Japan would be bidding on ebay Japan.

    Too fishy to me. Each time the bid goes up monariza_0001 bids again in hopes that someone will outbid them.

    I just sent that guy a message. I'm curious to see if he'll head the warning or not.

    Looking at his history, I'd say your right about that one!

    Its disgusting and ebay any suspisions should be reported to eBay.

    - In the UK i have reported simliar stuff and they have acted on it. More peopel should report as much as possible when they see things like this going on. )or at least suspect it). eBay do take it very serisouly.
