    Let's hope other potential buyers realise & don't bid at the moment they can't even 2nd chance it.

    Perhaps its legit, I have often bid on one item, looked at what else someone sells, and put multiple bids on multiple other items a seller has.
    In fact, I do it quite a lot.
    [greenhighlight]but it matters when the most senior politician in the land is happy to use language and examples that are simply not true.

    The impact of this is to stigmatise people on benefits,
    and we should be deeply worried about that

    Shill bidding, so yes the prat's won his own item hopefully ebay will realise, refuse to cancel so he has to pay the FVF's & kick him off.

    In fact they've or friends have won a fair few of their auctions.

    Can you explain it to me, as if I were an 8 year old?
    One important thing to remember is that when you get to the end of this sentence, you'll realise it's just my sig.

    Im over 13 and i still dont understand ebay
    iIhad an item not sell on a free weekend about 2 months ago and out of the blue i had a message asking to buy it.
    Some long term members on here suggested if this happens then to do a deal.
    I messaged back yes its for sale and left enquirer my tel number postcode and anything else he needed
    3 days later he messages back asking for my details again
    well to be honest if he can keep old listings but not contact details 3 days old then the item can just stay in my cave
    Its hard enough making a living these days without time messers eating mine

    well it only got to £300 and if you read the description he says he paid £374 for the console and 1 film so dont offer him £400! I think people might have cottoned on to the fact he was shill bidding!
