Hi
I've just sold some face cream which went for £26 .I've now had an email from someone who was trying to bid on it and said they couldn't-see below

"hi just to let you know i was bidding on your item the face cream, and the other seller must of used a programme to stop anyone going ahead of them from 5mins in tried to put in a 36 pound bid so i could win but the page wouldnt load, and my whole computer had to be turned off?!?
any how just thought id let you know.
thanks "

What do you think?Is there such a tool that can do that?

hmmmmm...I wouldn't think so. I could be wrong though!

Never heard of it myself.

Might be worth forwarding the message to ebay, if it's true your buyer has ripped you off. and it's not fair is it?

Just had a quick google for "ebay bid blocker" and apparently there is software and it's demonstrated on a youtube video. I didn't click the link just incase, but it looks like it is possible.

Thanks for replying.I've just emailed ebay and they've said it's not possible to get into their database.Maybe it is and they don't know about it.

I think that their computer needs some work on it!
