Hello Good People of Ebay, I have noticed in the last 6 months there has been alot of not the most honest sellers out there having their little friends jacking the auctions up, this is really true in Musical Instruments ( Guitars, Amps., Pedals ) and Ham and CB Radio Gear. If you are bidding on items in these areas. watch how you will come up on a person that has NO FEEDBACK that runs the bid up on you several times then backs out, you can almost everytime catch this by doing a search on this ID in your number of bid area in the auction, you will find that 1 They are new or 2 They have been a member for a while BUT NO FEEDBACK.This should be a red flag here, and watch what you do, I run THEM UP and I back out at the last minute and found out that person won the item, but you check that ID in about 2 weeks and they still have ZERO, so whats wrong with that picture ???? And you run up against ALOT of resellers doing that to, and their trick is a unit called SNIPER, the lazy mans bidder, it was designed for sellers, but as anything nice gets abused by someone . Problem is they win the item or items and guess what the RESERVE is outragous and the S&H is very outragous, but they think they need to make up for their screw up by passing it along to us. Ebay was a very nice place to shop and get good deals BUT now its all about selling junk, that they know is junk and put the OLD RELIABLE on it AS-IS or HOW IT WAS FOUND, believe me here they know it doesnt work or is broke, just a way to get their money back and get rid of it, or they have no way to test BS, they have power supplies out there, magnetic antennas, extra microphones, guitar cables, pedal power supplies out there they just say they dont have that stuff to check them out, another BS line. Just another way of sticking it to the customer us. Now between Bid Jackers,Sniper, Resellers, and AS-IS Junk Sellers it has made buying on Ebay not fun no more, its a adventure of what you are going to get stuck with when you buy, used or not. And Im sure its all over the areas. on Ebay not just what I have listed. but I think Ebay needs to protect the buyers better on things against sellers, AS-IS people and make resellers be or have reseller on their IDs and have mini auctions for the NO FEEDBACK people to basically prove themselves before going to the big league, Ebay can but I highly doubt they would, its all about MONEY.  Just for the fun of it, try checking your bidding apponent out during a auction and see for yourself. And now since Ebay and their beautiful wisdom now has it with wierd hidden IDs in a auction to protect that buyer, ect REALLY the RESELLERS and their FRIENDS. THATS a Crock the RESELLERS have cried to EBAY about people getting wise to their scheme and guess what they felt sorry for those crooks, as I said it before its ALL ABOUT MONEY not us the consumer. Just wanting to save you MONEY, TIME, and JUNK you spend good money on that needs to be in a landfill. You be the JUDGE here.
