Multiple Ebay ID's and ID swapping
 

I've had a bid for a set of Fuchs on ebay for a few days and just went to check the auction. For now, I still have the high bid, but when looking at the bid list there was a retracted bid due to entering incorrect amount. I did a little investigating and found the bidder that retracted had changed his ID twice since Sept 03. Upon further investigation, it looks like thae person also operates under a second ID that has been changed 4 times since Dec 01. Why would someone do all the swapping and have 2 ID's?

I have one id to buy and another one to sell - the id for selling has been changed once to shorten the name and to make it easier to type - not sure if this applies to your query ... I'd review feedback because that stays with a person regardless of how many times their user id changes.

Mark, it sounds pretty fishy to me. Sounds like the guy is covering his tracks. Either way, I don't trust him. Give us names! I know I don't want to do business with a guy like that. This just shows the need to have some kind of voluntary list of individuals listing who not to do business with.

I just looked at the guy's ID's again. He has 9 bid retractions on one ID and 4 retractions on the other. Someting is wonky.

ditto. OR should we go looking for your ad?
It's good to know which p-car guys are playing ebay-games like that.

Probably uses the other ID(s) as a shill and/or to boost feedback rating. Look for one ID in the other's feedback profile, and vice versa.

Mark, You have been OUTBID!

How many freakin' Fuchs do you need, man?

How many are there????????

Is having one extra set for your own personal use too many?
