ebay Feedback Question

theorioles

Folks....I was looking at an auction today and I happened to click on the current bidder in the auction. I noticed that 95% of his bids over the last 30 days (88 bids/60 items) have all been on the same seller's merchandise. Does that look odd to you? Is there something that I should watch out for here? I investigated a little more by checking the feedback history of the seller in question and noticed that no feeback has been left for this seller by anyone with the same feedback rating as this current bidder. Can you make out anything with this info? Perhaps a bidding scam to artificially inflate the bidding?

Thanks!

Sounds suspicious.

How about a Link?

They call that shilling an auction.

It could be, but then there are some bidders that only buy from certain sellers. I have been buying alot of items recently under my buying ID from a seller in California. Last 15 transaction have been with him. Most are BINs.

After further review, I change my "sounds suspicious" to "no foul play".
