Dh has just won these and thinks it's a bit suspicious. When he clicked on the 15 bids it looks like someone has been bidding to push the price the up as the same person(mauricio pizzaro) bidding has the identical cufflinks up here .

Nope - look at the times of the bids - the first batch was trying to get above sheree and the second batch was trying (and failing) to get above your DH.

QueenOfQuotes · 24/09/2005 23:36

definitely suspicious IMO

coldtea · 24/09/2005 23:38

Janh do you not think it looks suspicious that he is bidding on something that he already has up for sale?

OP posts:

If it is fixed then it's more than one person!

Anyway your DH bid at least £20 so was happy to pay that much?

steffee · 24/09/2005 23:39

sounds suspicious to me too

Janh · 24/09/2005 23:40

Well his went on at 8pm today and that sale finished at 8am today. But god knows!

Janh · 24/09/2005 23:42

Both new sellers though - I hadn't noticed that. Probably is dodgy then - but can you do anything?

SleepySuzy · 24/09/2005 23:42

The seller obviously wanted £20 for them.

coldtea · 24/09/2005 23:43

Is it worth getting e-bay to look at it? Who/where do you e-mail?

OP posts:
SleepySuzy · 24/09/2005 23:44

look what else "he" was bidding on

coldtea · 24/09/2005 23:44

If he wanted £20 for them shouldn't he have put a reserve on them. Surely he isn't allowed to do this?

OP posts:
coldtea · 24/09/2005 23:45

OMG sleepy suzy thanks! Will have to inform e-bay!

OP posts:
Janh · 24/09/2005 23:46

Blimey, suzy, where'd you get that from???

SleepySuzy · 24/09/2005 23:46

And look what the seller has been bidding on

SleepySuzy · 24/09/2005 23:47

The lowest reserve you can use is £50, hence no reserve.

SleepySuzy · 24/09/2005 23:47

I am a sad, experienced Ebayer , janh

coldtea · 24/09/2005 23:50

So where should we go from here sleepy suzy?

OP posts:
QueenOfQuotes · 24/09/2005 23:51

shillbidding is what it looks like.

SleepySuzy · 24/09/2005 23:54

read this - shill bidding

coldtea · 24/09/2005 23:54

Thanks Queenofquotes, that does look like it.

OP posts:
QueenOfQuotes · 24/09/2005 23:55

There's a certain 'northeast' link between some of those buyers/bidders/sellers too

QueenOfQuotes · 24/09/2005 23:55

keep up suzy - you're 3 minutes behind

SleepySuzy · 24/09/2005 23:59

here's where you report it

SleepySuzy · 25/09/2005 00:00

And I've been singing your praises all night, QoQ!!!
