the problem is buyers jacking up their own auctions using friends or fake accts. typically
early bids are not actual bids they are just to jack up the price. granted there are
honest sellers and buyers but there are practicaly no controls in place for frauds, even
in some cases fake items its not always the seller but its a lot harder for a bad buyer to
rip people off damn near impossible if yer careful not so with bad sellers and fleabay

Subject: Re: (was) I [don't] hate E-Bay (was ...) Annoying bidding from buyer's
perspective
However from
my perspective, every dime over $5.10 (which it was at at
1am saturday morning, a few hours before the end of the auction) was a
waste of my money.
Waaaaaaaaaah. Someone bid against me, waaaaaah.
Its an auction. Get used to it, or only purchase "buy-it-now" items.
I'll add, it astonishes me how some people expect everything for
nothing. Are they fresh in from some third-world country where they
earn $1000/year for hard labor? Penny pinchers to an extreme degree!
