Theres nothing stopping you from re registering. Everybody is doing it.

No, "everybody" is not doing it. I think you'll find many if not most of us use eBay & treat other users of it the way we'd like our own transactions to be treated - with honesty, & with genuine buyers showing an interest rather than people artificially inflating the price only to drop out at the last minute or refuse to complete the transaction. What goes around comes around.

Personally i feel bad when my friends just watch my items never mind when they offer to bid to build it up.

Also dont you run the risk of owing yourself money if you out bid a real person?

Personally i wouldnt risk it - i would stick to the fetes and things that others have suggested as for me it has the added bonus of no ebay fees

Good for you. If I have items for sale, I offer them to friends first, & if they're not interested, I put them up for auction either on eBay or elsewhere. Not only would I ever allow friends to bid with no intention of buying the items, they'd never agree to do it. I also wouldn't create a second ID so as to do it myself. It's better to earn £10 honestly than £20 through deception. Some people are so quick to try to work the system that they forget that an artificial price hike could result in those who are genuinely interested saying that the item's now outside their price range & not bothering to bid at all, resulting in no sale & a good bit of wasted time.

Well items still sell at the inflated prices anyway. Unless you are desparate enough for the items to go for £10 quid.

I notice that some of the garden centres & places like that have stuff on display from other people. I suppose its sale or return. A centre by me has jewellry & handmade gift cards.

Well, some of us are grateful for a £10 sale, even if you're not. Dishonesty doesn't sit well with me, even if you're comfortable with it.
