reported to ebay, be funny to see if they do anything

A bit harsh don't you think!, in my opinion he is only trying to generate interest to get the bidding started, happens at auctions all over the country....give the guy a break for gods sake!!!!!!!!!

bella4uk shill bidding is not allowed! By getting a friend or whoever to bid on his auctions means that genuine eBayers end up paying a much higher price.

It's not harsh at all. The seller is in the wrong here and should be reported to eBay.

im sure you wouldnt like somone artificially raising the price of somthing you bid on (by hundreds of pounds).

The seller now says:

the item ended on the 4th like you said on the morning of the 5th i recived a cheque and i was just about to go to the bank and pay the cheque in and pay the bank to process the cheque via special clearance when they lady rang me to tell me the cheque would bounce due to inserficant funds in her bank account.

it looks like he sells alot of cars (skoda on feedback) i dont see why "i am willing to sell this at £3000 becuase i need a quick sale as i have bought a new car and its arirving on monday" would make any difference... having a new car wouldnt need a quicksale..
Just a load of pork pies hes telling, im guessing his new account is due to him being axed from ebay before (he seems wise to ebay but rubbish at hiding his shilling)
Good Riddance if he gets caught.
