I am like most of you, trust people in general. I have to say that I believe I was a victim of schill bidding. I want to share my experience with my ebay family so no one else will fall into this trap!

Beware when:

The seller offers you a second chance right after you lost the bid!

The seller has private bidders!

When you put in the first bids with the same seller, right the way, someone else put in the bids on the same items.

You are winning the bid till almost the end of the listing, you were outbidded over again and again especially within the very last minute.

Be sure to report any suspicious activities! After all, it is everyone's responsibility to report fraudulent to keep everybody's cost down. Don't let the crooks win!
