Title: stupid ebay shoppers or smart ebay sellers?
Post by: bazemk1979 on Mon, 26 March 2012, 20:56:38
Tell me guys what you think its the case,looking at an item that just posted few days a go,maeby less... got around 5 more days to go and already 15 bids? I'm sure I'm not the smartest person in general, but the key to ebay bidding is bidding at the end right?

I see one guy bids, then another 5-6 bids by the same person in order trying to outbid with 6 days left.

Then same situation next day and item has 15 bids.....

This is a seller with more than 1 account or buddies that help him around, OR!!! there really is stupid shoppers.... Take you'r pick lol

All of the above.  I've seen bids get shilled, and I've had stuff I was selling get bid up early then get ignored all the way through the close (not one snipe!).  I've also had it bid early and sniped to stupid $$ (higher than several BiN's in the same condition).  I have 1 item right now that has 3+ days to go and has been bid to $100 from $1 in 2 bids, another bid to $21.50 (from $1) in 7 bids.
