I've noticed a few times that when Probstein has a collection like the "Memphis Collection" which I assume is all from one seller that there is really shady bidding happening. You can see one I'd bidding on pretty much every item in the collection yet that bidder isn't bidding on any items outside of that collection. Seems to me obvious shill bidding.



I've given this a lot of thought and although it wouldn't be a perfect solution Probstein should do something like block Ebayers from bidding when he is doing a consignment. I understand they could have another ID and there are other holes but at least make it more difficult for folks to bid up their own items.



It would be a lot more noticeable if you keep seeing the same 0 or super low feedback bidding on Probstein auctions at one time.



There is absolutely no reason that shilling consignments should remain like the Wild West! __________________
