I am new to ebay. Please fill me in about the pros and cons of bidding. On my first bid, I noticed that one person kept driving the price up, then stopped bidding. It seemed like this person was working for the seller. This persons history reveals that she bids for the same sellers items, which the long list supports.
I reported it to ebay, but they said there is no illegal activity.
Please share your experiences with me. What should I be aware of ? Should I avoid bidding on ebay?
I am currently bidding on a laptop that started at .01and is running up fast. When I bid 325.00, the bid was 275.00, now its up to 600.00 with 1 day 16 hours left.
Does this look like a scam? Thanks..
