Could somebody that knows about e-bay have a look at this please.

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.

definitely suspicious IMO

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

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?

sounds suspicious to me too

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

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

The seller obviously wanted £20 for them.

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

look what else "he" was bidding on

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

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

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

And look what the seller has been bidding on

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

I am a sad, experienced Ebayer , janh

So where should we go from here sleepy suzy?

shillbidding is what it looks like.

read this - shill bidding

Thanks Queenofquotes, that does look like it.

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

keep up suzy - you're 3 minutes behind

here's where you report it

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

• I did try to tell you that you'd got the wrong person
