Well ebay made it easier to shill bid when they hid the bidders. A few years back you could look through the other people bidding and work out yourself if something was up by checking bid histories.
It's in ebays favour to have shill bidding going on as they earn more dosh

If you do bid on your own stuff you do deserve the idiot award of the day

Spread it round a bit innit

Just learn the system and play it yourself, it's the only way.

i play ebay all the time, done everything that's been mentioned, why not their all at it, if i put something on for a rock bottom price, i'll leave it till a couple of days to go,and if no bids, i get a mate to put a bid to cover my price, if he wins it we agree to cancel transaction,

waht annoys me is - as a seller you can't leave bad feed back anymore. SO some fool can win your stuff and let you down and there is nothing you can do about it.

As a buyer that is briliant you can mess sellers around all day

The only real way to get ebay on your side is to involve el plod

If she has relisted the items you won and paid for then it's theft. She's selling your goods without your permission.Various breach of contract etc.
I've done it and it works, although it's a time consuming pain in the arris

You may need to raise a small claims court action if they dont respond quick sharp. Ebay does have an onboard police dept, so you dont need the services of real undercover police

Mind you they'd be better employed helping you than having a holiday with some green types

You could always do what iv done, with street view its even better.
Order 2 tons of concreat and have it dropped on her driveway, tell them no one will be in and to just drop it there, you will have to pay for it, but she never going to get it moved before it goes off.

I did not do it with concreat though, i found a load of pizza shops and take aways in their area and booked a delivery every 1/2 hour from 22.00 till about 3 am.

A mate of mine ended up working with "Pizza man" and was sat listning to one of his conversation one day when he started talking about it. My mate told him it was me that did it with tears running down his face.

As for Ebay, i now ask them the price to buy it now, i no longer bid for stuff if i can help it. i have had friend "Bid up" some thing for me that im selling, but only till it hits its reserve price, i sould just start the auction at that price and save the hassel.
