Fake Dummy Ebay Bids?

[Billy!]

Are these dummy bids on ebay?

evangelical-christian.com $3000 Gotta be Fake!

CustomerService.com $500,000 Nice Name! But one big bid!

Rob2005.com $365 Gotta be Fake!

Of course is fake.
evangelical-christian.com has only one bidder with 0 feedback

although its against there TOS as a bid is a legally binding contract.

Still kinda hard to enforce...

Personally I rarely accept bids from those with low feedback on high ticket items.. too many bozos out there... and ebay is no place to sell a 500,000 dollar domain if you ask me.

although its against there TOS as a bid is a legally binding contract.

If I owned evangelical-christian.com I would turn it into a hard core porn site and wait for Jerry Falwell or one of those other pious millionaires to buy it back from me and clean it up. It could with worth alot more in that circumstance.

CustomerService.com <- wow that is high. Great name though. Although I know a customer service software developer who routinely writes million dollar software deals and their software is developed to the point where most of the value is profit. That domain name would be cheap to them and probably amount to more sales.

Rob2005.com....well Rob2004.com is an election site. Perhaps someone doesn't realize that there is not another election in 2005.

The only reason I posted this is because the other day I read on a news website that some sellers from ebay were convicted of creating fake accounts and bidding on their own auto auctions at ebay.

Unfortunately FAKE BIDS are a VERY common practise on Ebay to raise prices
Although those ones are highlighted as fake only for their values. Seems, that this fake bidder is just starting out his career, and needs still some practice.

Shills!

I have either seen or heard these same type stories, as well CS ... to be completely candid, I - more often than not - typically assume that there is a LOT of shillers and shill-bidding on Ebay and it's one of the reasons why I still haven't created a User name there or ever transacted on the site, IMHO. :blink:

Do you have that news "link" handy, by any chance? :gl:
Thanks much.
