how do you know

 

[welovelouie]

i dunno.. that's why i wanna know ur opinion. this is what i noticed

that's 4 different ppl. What is an odd to have 4 ppl with same User ID pattern bidding on an item. I wanted to bid so i wanted to ask ur opinion

Do you mean letter then *** letter?

It does look kind of similar, a***5, then a***n, g***8, o***0 or whatever it was. But lots of people use their name with a number because they can't be bothered to make up something else. And I don't think the stars represent the exact amount of letters hidden.

No what i was getting at by asking welovelouie if she thought bidders letter***letter were shiller is because they are not. Ebay put the stars there so you cant see the bidders id name!

oh, i get it

But then why does it show the last person? Or it only shows the winner?

 

[designermummy]

Yes it only shows the winner!

Yes it only shows the winner!

Yes. Ebay just started doing this to cut down on the spam emails offered to bidders on high end items.

I don't see any shill bidding on here.
