Any body out there ever have a problem with this?
I've had the problem on e-bay.... but never noticed it on GB b4.
I've watched a particular auction for several months....it keeps expiring with 0 bids, and then gets re listed. It's a no reserve auction, from a dealer/shop who seems to list NIB items with the opening bid at his cost & no reserve. I even read on one of his auctions, that GB got after him for listing his phone # and telling people to call for the reserve, because they thought he was using the auction to steer people to his shop and then selling to them direct, without paying GB fee.
The guys got over 900 sales with 100% positive feedback....
So I schmooze things over with my wife, to ensure marital harmony is secure and place the min. bid....
An hour later, someone else has bid on the auction.
Where the heck have they been for the last three months? Just to pop out of the woodwork an hour after I bid the auction, did they....
If he is shill bidding, or having someone else shill bid for him, I've got a mind to let him fall on his sword.
But he can probably claim "bid no pay" and skip out on the GB commission.
Anybody out there selling on GB that can explain the process from the sellers side?
