<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrbadexample, post: 4475871, member: 100740&quot;]Where do you find this misplaced confidence? </p><p><br /></p><p>This is ebay.

Test this out - find an obvious fake and report it. It will not be removed. If you post it on a forum and large numbers of people report it, something <i>might</i> be done.</p><p><br /></p><p>You used to be able to see buyers&#039; IDs and spot shill bidding easily. Everything is now hidden and it&#039;s much more difficult to detect. There&#039;s a reason for that - they <i>like</i> shill bidding because it makes them more money. It is in their interest to encourage it rather than prevent it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Let&#039;s not pretend otherwise eh? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie88" alt=":sour:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
