Somethings fishy.......

Check out this auction and note the bid amount.
eBay Motors: 95 PowerStroke Diesel Engine Cover (item 200309477944 end time Feb-19-09 06:46:48 PST)

I think someone is bidding up their own stuff!! If not I gotta get me a few of those covers to sell!

Since hidden bidder ID started it made it way to
easy for people to shill. At first hidden ID was $200.00
or above.
Hidden ID = Loss of sales in my book.
I see alot of things go for more on fleabay than new at retail.
Go figure.

The hidden bidder ID info is there but confusing. Click on the bidders ID to see it.
Here's one that sold for $36 + $17.63 S&H...fraud alert!

First thing I do when I get a truck is pull that POS off there and throw it in the can. Or maybe a box in the loft, I might have a couple sitting around still.
I hate them things...

I complained to FleBay about that hiden stuff and they responed that they have software in effect to stop fraud. I say BS, you can have your neighbor or mother-in-law bidding. Bill, your right, lost sales. I saw it on 'no reserve' diesel pusher auctions, it stinks and sucks!!
