    Question dodgy cross bidding on ebay

    I came across a site a few months back that let you compare two ebay users to see how many cross-bids they made with each other.

    It was a great way of tracking the dodgy dealers on ebay but I've lost the site.

    Can anyone tell me the site address?:nowords:

    Ta.

    Please find out, i was watching an item on ebay for 6 days , it was at 200 quid an never had a bid on it so i got in touch and went to look at it, i liked what i saw and said i would give em 220 there and then, the woman went in the house , came back out and said "oh i am sorry some has just emailed me that they are going to bid 350 quid on it" so i went home, lookin at the other bidder he lived in the same town ???. would any one with an ounce of sence email a seller to declare he was going to bid more than the askin bid? no they would have bid the tenner increment that was needed not 150 pound that wasnt , i kept puttin 10 pound on till i got to 350 pound and still not winning bidder to check and i know i was being scammed.


    Why does "fat chance" and "slim chance" mean
    the same thing?

    gives you info about eSafe2Bid. It says it is time-limited shareware, which should give you time to see if it is what you want.

    (sorry if I shouldn't post links but I couldn't find anything in the faqs to say I couldn't)

    lol ofcourse you can post links mate, its only dodgy ones that aren't allowed and there's still some ways around that (PM, link to a link which has the link you want etc.).

    Ive noticed a few times some strange activity on the old ebay! Mostly that the person sellin has a mate etc to bump up the price. On a few occasions i have looked up the person who was pushin the price up a few months later, shock horror "This user is no longer registered":annoyed:
