    Here's a funny one, counterfeit sports cards, under another account I have proxy bid $20,000.00 the guy who's auction it was shilled me to my limit.

    He emailed me asking me to remove my bid, I told him since he figured out how to shill my bid it was up to him to remove my bids. True story.



    Another, one time you could also raise the price on your auction, I had an old chainsaw a two man Mercury with an 8 ft bar listed with a $250.00 starting bid. I wasn’t getting any action so I upped the price to $500.00 then shorted the auction time down to where there was 24 hours left.

    What I did not know is that i had a sniper using auction bid software hiding in the weeds, one closing bid - $500.00.

    It did not take ebay long to remedy that problem, yes big brother is watching, I may have personally been responsible for some of the changes made to ebay.

    Not necessarily changes for the better.
