Is giving the benefit of the doubt too good for this seller?

Nah, I bid too late.
But, I do believe that Doug won!

Somebody? Don't you have an eBay account? Aren't you willing to take the hit?

 

It was just an idea. If anyone wanted to do it, then they would be doing a good thing. I don't have the time to bid on the item, call eBay, etc. I'm sure there are people on here who have the time to do that, but I have been having exams for the past week, so now is not a good time.

 

You suggest that others do a thing that is against the rules and will hurt, at a minimum, their reputations.
You took the time to read this thread, respond with an asinine response, read my response to your response and respond to my response. In all of that time you could have done what you suggested yourself, but when called out, you were "too busy" to do it yourself.
That, my friend, is the action of a coward.

 

Some folks on eBay are just incredibly ignorant and this includes the eBay drones that refused to even address this much reported listing.

 

This very thing has happened in the past as I do recall spme items getting bid up into the millions.

One fella, Russ, over on the CU Forums reported that eBay would not accept a bid larger the 99 million dollars.

If I did it myself, I would have created a new account and bid on it. I don't see how that would hurt someone's reputation. And it was simply a notion. Like I said, if anyone wants to do a good thing, that is great. I know that some people have fun bidding up fake items on eBay. I wasn't forcing anyone to do it. Sorry for making the comment, I'm just a kid who thought she had a half-decent idea that someone might take some enjoyment out of.

Until recently they weren't IF you reported it using the right link.

They did have such a group and reports through the proper link went to them directly and they tended to pull auctions quickly. According to a member of that group ebay has disbanded it. This happened within the past couple weeks. So possibly fraud and counterfeits are now free to run rampant
