<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JCB1983, post: 1366982, member: 23885&quot;]I love eBay, but some things really irk me.&nbsp; I know some of you eagle eyes can tell a coin dealer by their pictures alone.&nbsp; So have you ever picked up on certain sellers juicing their bids?&nbsp; What I&#039;m refering to is when a seller has a coin in auction format, and they manipulate the auction to drive the bids up.&nbsp; Even though it is in auction (bid) format, they use a different account to bring the price up?&nbsp; Not only that, sometimes I see sellers bid from another account to get the number of bids up.&nbsp; This way when people do advanced searches their coin is at the top of the list for # of bids.&nbsp; The # of bids doesn&#039;t bother me so much as driving up the price.&nbsp; I use buy-now 90% of the time on eBay, but every now and then I&#039;ll enter a bidding format to get a certain coin.&nbsp; Just so happend the bust half which I had the winning bid, apparently got juiced.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; It is pretty obvious when you click on the winning bidders name, and their bid activity shows 100% with the current seller.&nbsp; One time I understand, but you can really pin-point a problem when it happens multiple times with the same seller.&nbsp; The more bids, with the higher bid activity to the seller... the more suspect.&nbsp; I refuse to believe that buyers simply buy from the same seller every single time.&nbsp; :rollling:&nbsp; Just curious, I couldn&#039;t find a previous post on this issue.</p><p><br /></p><p>~Jason[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
