You likely have made the trouble makers list: Radio-Mart also reserves the right to ban/remove ANY bid(s) from ANY individual for ANY reason. We do keep a Blocked Bidders list for ALL non paying bidders as well as trouble makers. I wonder if Radio-Mart would honor the ability of a buyer to cancel his purchase after the completion of the auction? Probably not. Can buyers publish rules for sellers? If you haven't cancelled a bid or reneged on paying in a timely manner for an auction, I don't see why the seller can cancel your bid simply because you questioned his veracity. And this: **All items you see pictured are pictures of the ACTUAL item being sold and are copyright of Radio Mart Inc. I am sure that Universal Radio would be astounded by that statement. Soliloquy Indeed, as soon as I asked him a few questions he stated that I was blocked as a bidder. Not that I was really interested anyway, but ask a few pertinent questions, and you're done! dxAce Michigan USA |

(someone needs to flag e-Bay Safe Harbor on all this malarkie goin on!) FROM THE E-BAY SAFE HARBOR F.A.Q. : "Shill bidding is the deliberate use of secondary registrations, aliases, family members, friends, or associates to artificially drive up the bid price of an item. (This is also known as "bid padding.") Shill bidding is strictly forbidden on eBay. eBay members found shill bidding may receive warnings or indefinite suspensions of their accounts." http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/...l-bidding.html http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/shill-bidding.html With private auctions, you'll have a tough time proving shill bidding. Ebay may be able to check to see if bids are coming from the same IP address as the seller. This would probably be a better shot than asking them if gottahaveit1995 is bidding - as he was already caught shilling with that user id, and I doubt he'd repeat the mistake with the same user id. He went to the private auction format when folks here started talking about warning his bidders about his practices.
