I understand that Fish, but there are many that still do what I'm talking about. Also, I even emailed Ebay a while back and inquired about this because there were some items I bid on and the same member kept bidding higher and higher like 7 or 8 times in a row on an item EVEN THOUGH nobody had outbid him. Looked awful suspicious, so I asked Ebay about how they go about catching false bidders or multiple account bidders, and they came up with some lame excuse. In all reality you can do just what you are doing and I dont think they even make much of an effort to catch people. But, as I said, there are many members that will bid EARLY and OFTEN also that are just trying to win the item, and it just frustrates the heck out of me to see these idiots do this when they can all just wait until the last minute and get the product much cheaper.......
