Free? Me want one.[/rquote]

Did he get money off Sophie too then? Or did ask Mumsey for some cash?

Only 6mins left, no bidding wars :O

SOLD

£1,380.00

Im dissapointed, their was no last minute bidding war. I guess the novelty has worn off already plus most people are at work.

Yeah - mid afternoon week day is a bad time to close an auction.

But then 1380 UK monies isn't bad for a snaffled piece of wood. I wonder if the buyer will pay up?

It's Marcus

One of the scams on Ebay is to over-inflate the price of something with multiple accounts and then retract the bids from some of your accounts so as to get a higher bid from other users.

Give the guy some credit for brains FFS - if you're going to shill bid, you get a friend or relative to do it or use a a second account with good feedback, not join the same day you bid! Clearly there were some a*seholes determined to sabotage his auction, which quite clearly states bidders with less than 10 positive feedback will have their bids cancelled.

Not everyone is a hustler like yourself (you admitted it after all).

[/rquote]I'm not saying he did all i was saying is you will not get your ebay account shut down if you shill bid like someone said marcus would if he did shill bid, i was saying he would get a warnning i did not say he was shill biding did I? IMHO there is nothing wrong with shill bidding the things i was selling i would not have sold for the price they would have fetched anyway so i helped the price along to what i would sell for then others out bid me, "All's Fair In Love, War And Business!"

I just hope the idiot who buys it loses the item, because Channel 4 demanded it back.

Then Marcus will be in trouble.

He's a ******* thief!

He's a ******* thief![/rquote]you sound a nice bloke wishing someone loses their hard earned cash on ebay. thats not going to happen C4 knows its up for sale on ebay the HM's every year sell thing from the show that BB give them as mementos of staring on BB. on the same note lets hope that you dont get a child who is born and suffer's a massive brain Haemorrhage As a result has Cerebral palsy, which affects all four limbs and means that he/she suffers from severe muscle stiffness and is unable to have full use of his arms and legs.

lets not wish that upon you http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...STRK:MESELX:IT

what an horrible person you are!

I know exactly what Shill Bidding is, the point I was trying to make is would Marcus risk losing the account name he has and its trading record? (He does hold the IDH title in high regard). You may have no qualms about having your account suspended, but he trades on the name.

You see although in your case and probably in most cases ebay may only issue a warning they do have the following options?

Bearing in mind it sold for over a grand, would ebay if they discovered he was shill bidding decide to make a high profile example of him?

[/rquote]ebay dont like to ban that often as i said iv been pulled up on it 3 times and have not got a ban they are in it to make money if they ban people then they lose money its not in they'er intrest to ban people and will let it carry on unless someone reports it and then they only give a warning as ebay say "eBay believes people deserve a second chance. " its very unlikly marcus would get a ban on his 1st shill bid even on his 2nd or 3rd time, ebay want the £££££. as iv said i am not saying he his shilling, but he will not get A ban unless he takes the pi** and does it all the time, once every few months he will be o.k every week??
