Message:: [QUOTE="Kasia, post: 1322036, member: 31533"]Mostly I think it's not shill bidding. Like jjack said, could have been someone from a non-allowed country wanting to ship. I had that happen to me with an item once. The high bidder came in and when he won it, he wanted it shipped to him in Thailand. For that Item I had listed most countries not allowed. He was allowed by ebay to bid because he had registered himself as from Great Britain. So I had to cancel that and offer as a second chance to the other bidder. Maybe it would have been fairer to the other bidder to be able to have a much lower bid on that, but that's not the way that ebay worked for that. If the second chance person had said no, then they were taking the chance that I may not have put the item up again or someone could bid more on it if I did. Sometimes you never know with an item. I had a booklet I was selling for 2.00 starting bid. The entire time went by and no one bid. Then after it was over, someone sent me a message saying they missed out and they wanted to bid, would I put it back up? I did, starting at 2.00. The guy won it for 50.00 because he put that high bid on it and during the bid, someone else bid high too. I could not have predicted that.[/QUOTE]
