Whats the consensus on shill bidding your items on ebay? My auctions are ending below expectations based pn previous sold listings. Is it ok to bid on an alt just to give it a lil boost?

Just put a reserve on your item if you want it to sell for a certain amount or don't make it an auction at all. Also make sure your auctions aren't ending at bad times.

I mean, nobody's stopping you if you don't get caught, but it's a bit of a dick move and honestly kinda pathetic. If eBay does catch wind of it, though, you can say goodbye to both accounts and most likely get a permaban from making new accounts (and since eBay utilizes more personal information due to shipping and payment logistics, you can't just ban-evade by resetting your IP address).

Unless you're dramatically losing out (like, less than half of the typical going price), your best bet would be to take the L and re-examine why your auctions aren't selling for as much as you'd like. Are you starting/ending them at shitty times? Is there a lot of this particular item on eBay at the moment, or a reissue announced? Maybe there's just not as much demand for whatever it is you're selling as there used to be, or what you're selling isn't as valuable as you seem to think it is (which is really common with selling toys; everyone digs out some opened Star Wars prequel trilogy toys from their attic and assumes they've just funded their kid's college education).

Thanks for a real answer and great advice. I wont do it. No i didnt just uncover some old shitty toys. I know what I have and checked a bunch of old listings. I have it ending mid week in the middle of the day so maybe i should play with that more. Hoping it will jump up in the last 24 hours as it still has a few more days left.

list everything BIN, skip the auctions, make it clear in the description you do not accept best offers- not only will eBay randomly turn this feature on but buyers can PM you with offers even with it off.

List 3-5 days, make it clear you won't relist items that don't sell. List cheaper than other listings. If they don't buy it, they have no one to blame but themselves for missing out. Too many sellers will see a bargain only to watch the item and not buy, because they have to think about it. They think someone else will list one for 25 cents cheaper or something. Let me tell you, if a buyer doesn't snatch up a bargain when they first see it, they don't fucking want it to begin with.

yes somehow pointing out that Paypal fraudsters get free shit and Paypal/eBay lets it happen through their buyer dick-sucking somehow tells you what my skin color is.

Well then I can tell from your attitude and obvious /pol/ shit that you defend pedophilia as "normal" because you are a fucking moron.

kinda stupid because what if you outbid the real buyer? what then?
if you bid higher than the real person, and you "Win" your own figure,
if you post it again everyone will know you didnt sell it
you cant see how high the bid is, so im not sure why risk it

also, if you wanted more money why are you so retarded and post the bidding so low?
you always start the bidding at the price you are willing to let it go retard.
for example, why list something for 20 bucks of you were expecting 35...... do you see how retarded that is?
but for example, if you list for 35 and not sale, then relist it later.....

the problem is not shill bidding, the problem is that you are so stupid you made the bidding too low.

You're trying to artificially inflate how much you make on eBay by being a greedy cunt. Stop trying to take the moral high ground.

I recently lost an auction and was outbid in the last 45 seconds. A few days later i got what ebay called a second chance offer or something and I was able to buy the item at the price of my last bid. I assumed maybe the winner never paid or backed out. Never heard of this feature before. Now im wondering if it was the seller shill bidding up their item since it jumped $20 hoping me or someone else would raise in desperation. Idk.

it could be. but if that seller does it too much ebay will know something happened. some years ago someone selling slipknot masks tried that and they were banned.
last year some retarded sperg was selling Alien items on ebay and listed all of them for like 2 dollars (some of them were really expensive) and when they all sold for cheap, he didn't send anything but then relisted all of them, he got buttblasted and lost his account....

As a no US ebay user, I see stuff I'd love to buy all the time, but either it doesn't ship outside US, or has ridiculous shipping costs. Seriously, a 5 $ figure shouldn't have 25 $ for shipping. I know ebay global shipping is bullshit, but I'm just saying this can also be a valid reason for someone not bidding,

You are the the reason I only bother with the Buy It Now option.
The second reason would be
>See item
>wait until 20 seconds are left to place bid
>Some other asshole that's been lucking around for 5 days bids on it 12 seconds before the action ends
>You bid again 4 seconds before the action ends
>The other guy still some how outbids you (probably using some shady script / app)
Every fucking time.

Fucking this. It fucking blows having to stay up until 4AM to bid on an item only to get outbid by someone else at the last second.
