ALERT same bidders ALERT same bids BID RIGGING!

[oplential]

My eyes do not deceive me, these two items from the same seller have bidders that place the same bids on 2 exactly same items and WONT FINISH TRANSACTION, then another swoops in raising the bid- on BOTH items.

In the space of 1 week I've seen this taking place - what does eBay think of it....they would know surely, proof of it or not, both items have the same bidders doing a tango worth remembering, kick start the bidding war with high ranking friend's then let the buyer replace bids until the items value is unrealistic with a ring in bidder. This pattern I'll remember.

Not standard practice I'm sure, has it happened to you?
(No transactions involved)

I will go out on a limb and think it is the old someone sees something suspicious but has perhaps been watching too much television syndrome.

Yes ive not followed the thread.
Yes, i can bid too, That is to BUY something, these chaps would raise the price and move on!. I reference to MAYBE there is something fishy with it...especially since normal bidding would mean trying to win, not start the motor for you sellers because the whole world didn't show up to your 'spesh' sale and nobody puts more than two cents AND YOU STILL HAVE TO SELL IT ...that's a hole, fill it in, either bid your price once or just get out.
I don't like .... So me speak ... Then you said Judas !
(Only buy now,now)
You've played your hand for me to see, I don't.

Well, that's me out, I officially have absolutely NO idea what you are on about now!

You started the thread nearly 10 months ago but you have not followed it????

I have news for you...no-one else has followed it either.  Not one thing you have posted makes any sense at all and in view of the fact that the links you posted have disappeared there does not seem to be any reason for pursuing the matter.

If you have a problem with a seller or a listing we will be happy to try and help you but you really must word you question so that we can understand what you are asking.

I suggest you ditch this thread and start a new one.....and ask the question in a way that we mere mortals can understand.  Only then are you likely to get any help.

Well, that sums it up, you've built your eBay,

                                                                                   LIVE WITH IT.

I have not built ebay....it was well and truly up and running when I joined and I am quite happy with my buying experiences so far.

I am sorry you feel as you do but honestly, none of us has any idea what your problem is. 

As I suggested, start a new thread and state your problem as clearly as you can and you may get some help.

[oplential]

To finish this thread, I'd prefer to know IF I'm being ripped off, the replies say it all.

You made your bed you sleep in it.

No need to be abusive.  

Yes, I have made my bed and I am quite happy to sleep in it, thank you.

You seem to be the one with the problem and as has been said many times.....we have no idea what your problem is so can not help you.

There is no point referring to the posted links as they are no longer viewable so you need to state the question again.
