This is not about getting caught, its about wrong and right.

If you do it you are screwing genuine bidders sideways with unfair motivation. That is unjust.

Don't do it.


Yea I agree. And I did make a big deal of this being wrong but it's family and he's done things for me in the past that he didn't want to do that were wrong (i.e driving me to TJ to buy heroin) so I felt I owed him this favor.

Anyway, of course like I thought I won the auction. Nobody bidded after my maximum bid of 60. But yes now he learned his lesson that it doesn't work. I asked him why he didn't start the bid at 50 and he said it is because they charge for that.

My cousin is on his last year at SDSU majoring in criminal justice so he is pretty broke. His ultimate goal is to go to law school and become a lawyer, so yea he'll do whatever it takes to win; which is a good trait when you want to be a sleazy scumbag lawyer, lol. Thanks for the input guys.



Lol...he is majoring in criminal justice, so he commits fraud...nice...

Here is what you do...Save printouts of everything..then when he tries to get licensed after law school, send a letter plus documentation to the bar association of the state in which he applies...They'll hold his license up for this.

BTW..it's called "shill bidding."  It's a violation of Ebay's terms of service...you CAN get your account suspended for it.  Because you won the auction, he will have to pay the fee as if you paid for the games or cancel the sale...if he does the latter, it is recorded.  The next time you bid for him and cancel the sale, you'll probably get flagged by the system..

I'm sorry dude, but your cousin is ripping people off..and he absolutely has no business getting into the legal profession.

Basically what you are doing is making a hidden reserve price.  The way to do this is with a second account and a sniping service like Gixen.

It's also fraud, and is completely against eBay rules.  If they find out you're doing this, you WILL lose your account and probably have all the money in your PayPal account taken.
