eBay problems, resolutions, shenanigans, questions and info (not bike finds)

Sorry, but you are just plain wrong in calling me an "Ebay noob" here, as it seems like you misunderstood what I mean.

I often put a 1 GBP bid myself early, just for that 'shit listing' reason, but the exact purpose is to prevent that the seller sells it to someone else outside ebay because of zero bids.

But, that's not what I am talking about here. I am talking about auctions where there are several bids way before it ends and people are putting even more. This simply makes absolutely no sense. Period.

Yeah, you're a jedi ebay master, my mistake.

"WHY in the world are people bidding for an item on Ebay long time before an auction ends?"
