I watch e-Bay daily almost strictly for the entertainment value. I can�t remember the last time I bid. I watch a couple particular items and sellers and began seeing patterns of what I consider un-ethical practices by both sellers and buyers. Shill bidding is very common, inaccurate descriptions, price gouging for shipping and handling and bidders that have just a few feedbacks are only a few observations and add to that that everyone wants to remain anonymous does not help. I find it difficult to handle a business transaction with someone that doesn�t want you to know their name or contact information. My recommendation is don�t get emotional about any item up for bid because if you miss it today there will be another one in a week or so, just be patient. Then research the sellers feedback and items that they have purchased and sold and do the same on all the bidders that are bidding. Be cautious when you see bidders with little or no feedback bidding, they may be shill bidders. I agree that e-Bay is un-responsive to customer concerns; they have to be aware that fraud is common and it is simply a matter of time till some attorney gets enough people together to hit them with a class action suite so that a law firm can cash in on the e-Bay phenomena. My 2 cents and a load of steam!
