<p>[QUOTE="markr, post: 3362943, member: 83328"]ToughCOINS: It's been a long time since I bid on anything on eBay, so my suggestion may be flawed. But what if you laid out the following story for eBay: You bid a max bid of $100 for a coin but wind up buying it for $60. Your interloper comes along and convinces the seller to sell it to him for $70. Point out to the eBay rep that if your shadow had bid the $70 he paid rather than contact the seller with the offer, your $100 max bid would mean that you'd automatically top his $70. I don't know the bid increments but you'd be above his $70 bid, which means eBay's commission would increase...if eBay forced your interloper to bid rather than waiting until the coin had been sold. Maybe if you can convince eBay that your "friend's" unethical behavior is costing eBay profit, then eBay might be more willing to shut down his behavior. Regardless, you have my sympathy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mark[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
