Can someone please tell me what the score is with BIDDER 1 or BIDDER 2 and so on coming up on ebay, is it just their mates bumping up the bids? im p*ssed right of with it as you dont no what theyve bought, if there genuine or just a dick head. why are they like this, they only bid once on so many different items unless someones interested then the bump up the bids, fucken robbery if you ask me cheating bastards

 

its a new thing ebay are doing mate

 

its for buyer and seller protection i read before
if you go to www.goofbay.com and go to auction tools you can put the item number in and i think it tells you if any of the people bidding have bid on the sellers auctions before

 

Cheers mate, thats some good info


Im just pissed off why people just cant be fair and bid normal showing there name and what theyve won and feedback comments, its just another way of ripping people off in my mind


By this you can tell that im getting out bid on something obviously Bastards i say, bastards

 

yes it annoys the tits off me aswell its not protecting anyone it just tends to make people pissed off as to whether or not theyre bidding against someone genuine or the sellers mate/s
i cant see how it protects anyone but ebay are wankers anyway

 

The worst of it is mate, as the vodka is fastly going down im getting pissed of about getting beat on something so stupid but the drinks starting to talk and im gony end up paying more just to beat the fool , but in actual fact im the f*cken fool


Drink and ebay dont mix

 

tell me about it i ended up getting fucking livid over a petrol mower that i was getting outbid on
my wife had to restrain me from smashing my monitor up

 

AAARGGHHH HA HA HA



Real tears man im pmsl at you raging mad over a mower and the wife thinking your mad

 

hahaha im laughing myself now
i was angry about it but after a few kronenbourgs ive calmed down

 

I dont care what anybody says mate , were not the only ones. I hate getting beat at anything, whether it be ebay to a stupid game of monopily, my toys are out the pram without a doubt, and to get beat on ebay from a hustler boils my blood


Its so childish, but i cant stop it







Help

 

It does. Its stop sthe VERY common scam of scumbags sending people forged second chance offers and then ripping them off. Its a great new feature IMO. The seller can see who they are.

 

Stu i never looked at it like that so say the seller has a few items for sale before he could of second chance offered that to the next highest bidder and conned them?
but now they cant as they dont know who anyone is except the winner?

 

Basically, scumbags would watch who the top few bidder on an item were and then, using a hacked account that LOOKS like teh sellers, offer the goods to the 4 bidders below the winner at the price of their highest bid using teh excuse that teh genuine winner dropped out at last minute or similar...

Apparently 95% of people fell for it!

 

No, the seller can see all teh bidders, no problem at all. It was scum PRETENDING to be teh seller of teh item you bid on and lost that were offering fake second chance offers...

 

LOL it's put a stop to shit like this:

Fortune smiles upon you sir the winner of my car has unfortunately chosen not to complete the transaction but you my good man can have the car at your highest bid of £8000GBP

Please email me as soon as possible and i will send you details so we can complete the transaction

God be with you

I had this sort of crap more than once; has anyone actually fallen for this scam then?

 

Obviously so many that eBay have changed the rules to teh point we now only see "Bidder X"

 

bid what you're max bid is then dont go back(last minute if you want).

if you get offered second chance just tell the seller what YOU'RE max bid is .

i.e the winner didnt want it at 15,you bid 14 ,you can now have it for 14!

answer,fuck off prick £10 or nowt,you choose


if you think its worth £50 then thats all you are willing to pay regardless of anyone else bidding it up.

 

ebay banned them from doing, closed the loophole or something like that

 

Fair play stu i didnt see it like that a few vody`s and getting out bid every ten minutes got me heated its well understandable really i just didnt see it at first

 

My dad fell for it and lost £65. I know he sounds like an idiot but he's actually quite smart and I can see why he fell for it as looking it over it all looked so genuine. Cunts. So this is a brilliant idea and if it had been there a bit longer would of saved me dad £65.
