    The name of the user account that has been removed from the edited feedback was hangwitme(there's still one case of feedback given you can see)

    Is it possible to edit your own feedback? :confused:

    I thought ebay may have done it, but neither account is NARU'd yet.

  • Yes - hangwitme! Where DID that feedback go to?

    I see that 2 suckers have already had a punt on the
    Acer Aspire 8930G 864G32Bn Laptop 2.4Ghz 18.4" 320G 4G, item number:180380085484 offered by
    cashbacksites0203. Shame that eBay stopped us from being able to warn these two, by hiding their user names and preventing contact with them...
    I am a cow so cannot speak Bullshine but I do recognise its smell when I come upon it.

    He sold another one to himself yesterday for £510... the winning bidder had 71 bids, 100% with this seller on 23 items!!!
    and i think he has a bid on this one as well...:confused:

    Surely he must be paying Final valuation fees,,, the guy is a bit of a moron.

    I fully agree that e-bay have messed up by hiding bidders, would be great to warn people who have bid.

    ...

    Probably just does a mutual ;)

    Easy when you control both accounts to agree a mutual.

  • Sold 2 sets of MICHAEL JACKSON OFF THE WALL REMASTERED and 1 BAD to themselves on the 14th.

    But where did that laptop go( Item 180380085484)? And for £700! That's a lot of GreedBay final valuation fee

  • He was probably doing something ebay calls Shill Bidding. Its where you get someone else like a friend , family member, someone at work or even with another account of theres that they have opened and they bid on the item they are trying to sell to boost the final bid and sale but with no intention to pay and buy, but to help the bids increase. Its against ebays rules and should be reportd
