I hate this new system for hiding bidders names. It makes shilling so much easier. I was looking through some stereo systems posred by one seller and noticed that they all end at a similar amount. Then I noticed some bidder tends to show up on the last day and bids almost exclusively with this one seller. I clicked his/her name and saw this: Bidder Information Bidder: 0***0( 4 ) Feedback: 100%Positive Item description: (removed to protect seller's privacy in case I'm wrong) Bids...

I am trying to do some xmas shopping on here but my smart a$$ son realized he can search by bidder, put my ID in and find everything I have bid on or won in the last 15 days! How do I keep my bids and purchases private so he won't see what I have purchased? Thanks

Ok, I made a bid on a cell phone. I was then outbid. I searched to find another phone like it. I did and I put a bid on it. Right after I put a bid on it, I got an email saying that the first item had a bid retraction and now that I won. This isn't good because it appears that I am going to win the other cell phone. I can't pay for two phones. What happens?

Can a seller see the maximum amount that a buyer makes for an automatic bid that is placed several days in advance? I usually wait until the day the item closes before bidding but since I will be gone, I made a maximum bid several days in advance. When I checked back, a new bidder with 0 buys had placed several sequential bids which ran the bid up to just under my maximum bid. I can't help but wonder why this happened, especially since I accidentally included the shipping charges in my...

In one of my auctions the starting bid was $15.00. The bidding was opened at this price, went up by $.50 to $16.50, then jumped to $155.00! Not that I mind, but how does that work? I thought it would take more time to get to that point.

So, I won four separate auctions (ended within minutes of each other) on Thursday afternoon from one seller. Several of those auctions said that "multiple wins qualify for reduced shipping" (I.e. combined shipping charges), however he also stipulated that "payment is required within 5 days". These are small items, so the shipping difference would be significant. I have sent two requests for an invoice for the "combined" shipping charge, and a message - and have had no response in 3...

I bought some chocolate bars (the fundraising kind) but they were OLD. The coupon on teh wrapped expired 12/31/08. Had they been just chocolate, they might have been ok but they had nuts in them and were rancid tasting. The seller said she had sold them and no one else had complained. I searched and she had only sold to one other person. I emailed him and he said his were ok. Seller agrees to a refund if I send them back. ok. I ship them back and now she wants to cancel the transaction on...

I just received notification that an auction w/ NO RESERVE, that had been bid on already by 4 bidders was cancelled. Notice further indicated that I could check bid history to see the reason. I checked and the only explanation was (Explanation: The seller ended the listing early and cancelled all bids). I don't remember there being a BUY IT NOW option. And wouldn't that information have appeared in the explanation? Can sellers just up and cancel an auction for no apparent reason? Is there...

Is it allowable to use Buy It Now to "win" an item after having submitted a Best Offer for the very same item? And if I "win" with Buy It Now, am I still obligated to go through with the Best Offer for the very same item? This is especially an issue in case the seller has two units of the very same item. Would the seller be able to claim that both the Best Offer and the Buy It Now *both* stand and must *both* be honored? I ask this because, sometimes, after submitting a...
