Consignor bidding on own auction

JNguyen

Thank you, David for being vigilant in your sharing of any potentially shady practices. As the 2 previous threads were locked, I wanted to reply in a separate thread. I would appreciate the moderators locking this one down as well. I am the consignor of the wrestling cards currently on Ebay as being sold through Rick Probstein. I placed low bids on my consignments in order to watch them in my bid list on Ebay. I understand that this would at first glance appear to be shilling and unethical. As such, I have removed my bids so as to remove any such controversy and potential conflict of interests. Unlike many people, I do not have multiple Ebay accounts to circumvent any sanctions made by Ebay nor will I open one to do so. I am an honest person who has been collecting sportcards since 1999 with many, many other things before. With the current controversies in this great hobby of ours, I do not want to add to the negative side. As David was able to do the detective work with the original post, he can confirm that I do not make an additional bids from my opening place marking bid. What you think about me or the current controversy is your right and opinion. Thank you.

There is a "watch list" in "my ebay".
