Hi ive noticed recently i seem to be getting a lot of second highest bid items. That is ive not won the item. The winning bidder hasnt paid and its then been offered to me at the top price ive bid before been outbid on.
Had this happen half a dozen times in 3 weeks.
I suggest if it happens to you refuse and say youll take the lowest bid you offered before been hiked up by the non payer (usually a new ebayer who then deletes account) you can look at the bid history to know whose bids how much n when.
I think the sellers jacking his prices up bidding on fake accounts knowing roughly where to draw the line.
I havnt had this happen in all the years ebays been running till recently, and every ones been in that small grey area of its close to the actual value of the item where if the seller had to buy his own item back hed lose out on a re auction.
Im seeing more of this profiteering with the postage as well eg buying multiple items to be told they dont combine postage to a point im asking before every purchase about combining postage for multiple items and every single ones answering yesss no problem. But if i buy first without asking its a problem to almost all of them.
At least what people are advertising is correct for what im actually receiving so far lol
