Feelings?

example, having 2 ebay accounts or having someone else, jack up your ebay price so you get more for it

all's fair?

totally wrong?

I think it's pretty messed up. If you want to jack up the price, start the bid higher. Isn't it against ebay's regulations to do that?

Totally wrong. If you want a certain price for it can't they set a reserve that has to be met?

I think if you want a certain amount than just start the bidding or have a required bid amount.

Very wrong, and isn't that illegal as well? Definitely against the rules on ebay, and illegal in real auction houses so I'm not sure about online auctions.

I do believe it is against Ebay's rules to do that. I don't get why people won't set reserves or just have a higher starting bid.

Totally wrong!

I don't go to Ebay to pay MORE than I would normally, unfortunately I've had to use it as a last resort because something I was looking to buy locally at the normal price was sold out and Ebay was my only other viable option. Initially you could get stuff for super cheap on Ebay, now its about paying more half the time and I don't like it.
