Ive found some sellers with alot of feedback, but the items were severely overpriced and completely random.
Then you see their feedback from the buyers, and the buyers are themselves doing the same thing.
You can follow a massive trail through feedback its crazy.
I have reported a bunch of the accounts but they are still up.
So what exactly do you think is happening? I do believe that shill bidding sometimes happens and that a few people could set things up to give each other amazing feedback so the sellers all looked legit and marvellous, with a reliable sales history. I get that.
To me, the main point of it would be to move beyond the stage where ebay has a hold on their sales money and then they could lure buyers for their items (which may not exist).
Or else, if they were legit sellers, to just give themselevs a more credible look so buyers were more likely to bid, especially if they were selling higher priced items.
But the thing is, most buyers are never going to bid for severely overpriced items, doesn't matter how good the feedback is. People will sometimes spend a little more for an item located in Australia, as to the same thing located overseas. But I don't know about 'severely overpriced'.
