How eBay Sellers Fix Auctions

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the the-accussed-hereby-stand dept.

Boj writes "The Times online is carrying stories on fraud carried out on eBay using shill bidding. Citing eBay's changes to security as aiding the shill bidders and this fraud: "Last November eBay changed its rules to conceal bidders' identity — making it even more difficult for customers to see whether sellers are bidding on their own lots.""

    And when I'm looking for some uber rare item that it would take years and thousands of dollars in gasoline to find by scouring every used record store, book store, person's home, etc., ebay comes in very handy.
    And even so, sometimes the item in question is so rare that eBay probably never even had it in its listings. Ever.

    I'm talking about the ISA soundcard Innovation SSI 2001, based on the SID 6581 soundchip. Nope, not the HardSID.

    If you have, know someone who has, or know where to find the Innovation SSI 2001, please contact me. Thank you.
