This forum is for all advice and talk about ebay. Therefore you will have it pointed out to you, quite strongly I suspect that your example is called shill bidding and is forbidden on ebay and very very frowned upon by other users.
Using an associated account to bump up prices may result in both accounts being suspended, so I would suggest you limit your account to be used only by yourself.

It isn't allowed. How would you like it if you were at a car auction bidding for, say, a nice looking Mondeo, but when you win, you realise that the owner of the Mondeo was actually bidding against you half the time??hb1444 wrote:No, he only done it to bump up the prices, he never made me buy anything!

Would you be happy that he bumped up the price, or annoyed becuase you are out of pocket for more than you should be? :think:0 -
