You would think that Ebay would close the auction down as a result of that foolishness??

most definitely fake bidding and this item has been on there for a couple of weeks now. I find it funny as well as annoying when you list something on eBay and they close your auction because of a certain word or phrase that you use, yet shady business deals like fake bidding goes on and they let the auction continue Makes me

Someone should alert ebay and that seller will get suspended for a period of time.

harder to do than you think.. ebay has a pretty sophistocated shill bidder system setup to track bids... its not as easy as it was last yr to bid up your own stuff...

Ok... for all you guys out there... EBAY changed things a couple months ago... first off, they give sellers no recourse really... it stinks for sellers... but is awesome for buyers... big powersellers have been protesting and ebay listings have declined as a result.... one other change they made (in addition to raising fees like 40%) is that they no longer give the bidders names... bc too many scammers would look at the first loser.. then send them a msg saying.. "hey we can get you that part for that price".... anyways... its always like that now.. and you can see if someone is a shill bidder based on the % of bidding history with the seller... regardless... idk how i was able to get this for $480! i mean $545 shipped! When i saw the auction pop up.. i was hoping no one here would see it... i was crushed when this thread started.... (now i prob paid more for it bc of nico members lol)... but still scored an awesome deal... I transfered all the funds out of my paypal acct... then paid with my amex thru paypal (AMEX RULES)...

End of story... i got a nismo Cat-Back!!

ok i guess no one read the fine print on the bidders list page of the item... and it clearly states why the ebay names look like this b****y and e***b

To help keep the eBay community safe, enhance bidder privacy, and protect our members from fraudulent emails, eBay has changed how User IDs display on the bid history page. Only you and the seller of the item can view your User ID, all other members will see anonymous user IDs, such as x***y.

lol i dont doubt there are people that fake bid to raise up their cost but god forbid they go to high on an item and they screw themselves up!
