Very interesting Roxxon,
I followed a couple of your ebay relateld threads and learned a lot. I'm pretty sure that this just happened to me, but it was only a hundred bucks, so whatever. I did read some of ebays standard legal poo poo about shill bidding, and see that there is no way to deal with it. I also agree with the above comments that you have to be present for the end of the auction and not bid a max.

I still got a good deal so I don't care as much. I learned a lot by reading your experience with the pay pal drama. I almost bought something with a guy that had a recent negative but held out for a better record. I think 100% is the only way to go, but ebay is losing appeal quickly.
