Is there an existing forum to help boost ebay auction prices?

By that, I mean, is there a forum where people can collect and exchange item numbers from ebay, and one person can bid on it for the sole purpose of driving the price up, with an agreement that if that user trying to help boost your price up wins the item, it can be cancelled and no negative feedback will be accrued.....

    There had better not be! Such an arrangement is contrary to the spirit of ebay. Also immoral and unethical. It's probably even illegal. I remember a few years ago there was an international scandal as several large collectible dealers were colluding to not bid against each other, to keep the prices down. There were huge fines, although I don't remember whether anyone went to jail. This would be the opposite situation, but no more ethical.

    It certainly would be contrary to the best interests of ebay. The whole idea of ebay is to match up buyers and sellers at a fair price to both groups. I am quite sure that if such an arrangement existed, ebay would find out and the offending parties expelled permanently from ebay. Certainly it is not something I would ever be involved in even if I could double my sales. And I've been selling on ebay since 2003. You list something on ebay, list it at a price you're willing to sell it at. Don't commit the type of fraud you're talking about.

    i think of you will locate on some products, that many human beings have 2 ebay identities. they are open concurrently on an identical computing gadget, and might bid up products. Its a actuality of ebay. the wonderful technique with ebay is to put in the optimal you're waiting to pass initially, then you incredibly in no way lose out. If it is going larger - it became into too plenty besides, if it is going interior your shrink - you immediately pay the smallest quantity which nonetheless wins. uncomplicated.
