[QUOTE="Beginner345, post: 3220507, member: 96725"]Ive been thinking about that all they need is a bunch of ebay accounts, Its challenging, but doable step 1 :list a fake on ebay step 2: have several accounts of theirs all bid for the same item( usually [I]private listing - bidders' identities protected[/I]") hoping it will lure some poor unsuspecting soul into bidding for the item. I am wondering if there is a massive ebay ring of multiple users all working together to boost each others feedback and sell the same crap to unsuspecting buyers. step 3: if the poor sucker wins, good for them. If nobody takes the bait, they simply either cancel the auction , or allow themselves to buy it from themselves( when they bid for the item themselves on another account).... and then write a good feedback for themselves on a different account.( thus proving to ebay that the transaction is real as far as the website is concerned Step 4: either they will have no returns allowed , or they simply will pocket the cash, cancel the account and start a new one once ebay gets wise. step 5: if the poor sucker writers a negative feedback, they can call up ebay and claim the buyer harassed them, and have it removed .if they don't want to do that, then once their original account gets too many negatives, they deactivate the account and start a new one,, and the cycle begins all over again[/QUOTE]
