Do you have any idea how much work it would take to shill bid on 77,000 auctions. How many fake accounts would he have to set up to do that without getting caught, 10,000? How long would it take to set those up, with fake email address and fake shipping/billing address, all for a couple bucks!!!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>He went back through and cherrypicked one other buyer who is the smallest bit suspicious. How about the hundreds of other buyers who have multiple purchases from this seller without any bid retractions. Seriously, you are implying this guy has shill bidders basically because he has some loyal customers. So, do a good job and make a lot of happy repeat customers, and then he has to watch out for the shill police.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
