<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blaubart, post: 1553797, member: 37498&quot;]What you describe is just standard auction bidding.&nbsp; If someone else outbids you, then they were willing to pay more than you.&nbsp; Probing <i>and then retracting</i> is a different animal and leaves you as the winner, paying more than you should have.</p><p><br /></p><p>What they do is use a shill account to bid the auction up until either the amount goes up less than the standard increment, or until they are the highest bidder.&nbsp; Should they become the highest bidder, they retract their bid and leave you as the highest bidder at the highest amount you were willing to pay.&nbsp; This isn&#039;t just unfair, I think it meets the definition of fraud.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
