E bay tricks

[nikonfoo]

I have noticed a great new advertising marketing strategy on e bay
Set up a few different user names on e bay send ridiculous offers and praise
for past deals
crazy offers that you refuse
not sure but probably no one can confirm who sent them
show them publicly on Question & Answer
use creative names like John from Cali
To try and hype over priced product

and if all goes bad
try again when know one is Looking
but does this work
Im sure you are reading this and im not talking behind your back
teach me the dark side
:stormtrooper:

Nobody here does this, but if they do, they should be ashamed of themselves.

I assume you are talking about the $3500 M90 listing. Yeah, posting a comment from former buyer was cheasy considering all the other comments made here about that guy.

Pretty common for people to create fake accounts used for shill-bidding.

Or to sell a crap box that they don't want to tell the truth about.

Ebay is out for over 10 years I'm sure they know how to fight this not only based on IP address

Ebay has come a long way in 10 years, and has really helped with the buyer protections. It is a much harder issue to stop stupid people from doing stupid things.
