Mainly new bidders and lots of bids.
Wonder if there's some shill bidding going on

My thoughts exactly. Thats what made me suspicious, all new bidders as well so wondered about shill bidding etc0 -
I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole."We are the change that we seek."0

Plus, one of the listings he got negative feedback on was a listing where he was trying to get people to sign up for his Free Apple Mac thing. I find it hard to believe he managed to get a free one and is now flogging it. I smell a scam.0

Looking at the listing he got the negative for he is using Freebiejeebies as a referral site and I use them as well I have got some good stuff free from them but like any referral site it does take a while to build up the referrals.Plus, one of the listings he got negative feedback on was a listing where he was trying to get people to sign up for his Free Apple Mac thing.

They allow you to post links where you are allowed to and to run adverts you have paid for I normally have a top page banner advert running on Archerfish as it is cheap.
They will however close your account if they catch you breaking a websites rules by posting your referral link where you are not allowed to or spaming any other website and this includes forums as well so I will not be posting my referral link.0 -
