Message:: [QUOTE="C-B-D, post: 7942815, member: 43130"]Buyer cancels his bid on one of my coins the other day… no big deal. Happens frequently in this business. But then he does it again two days later. Same coin. So I send him a message that he’s done bidding on my coins from now on, and I block him. He proceeds to send me a message explaining that he’s just trying to see the top bid so he can come in and snipe it at the end of the auction. You heard right…. He openly admits that he’s abusing the bid cancellation policy to manipulate the bidding so he can pay the least amount possible to win. Hope that makes sense to everyone: In other words there’s no hidden top bid anymore because he’s throwing in a big bid to see what it will take to win and then canceling until the end of the auction. So in this case he bid $575 and saw that he was “winning” at $550. So he cancels his bid and then plans to bid $551 in the last second, all to save himself a few bucks and manipulate the system. And this guy is PROUD enough to think there’s nothing wrong with this. Anyway he proceeds to send me a half dozen more messages calling me names, cursing me out, and telling me he’s a cop who’s 6’4” 290 etc….I told him to quit being a Karen and reported him to eBay twice. They flagged his account but he’s still selling and apparently able to buy and bid still. PM me for his eBay i.d. if you want it.[/QUOTE]
