For years now I have been an EBAY buyer and seller and for years I have always noticed, that when I place a bid for an item immediately I'm out bided. So I started monitoring this. I have noticed that many of these buyers all have similar profile names with little to large buying and selling numbers next to them yet you can not pull them up under member search, you can only check there bidding, yet you can pull my profile up and other real EBAY buyers accounts up. For example I been bidding on razor blades and keep getting out bidded instantly by the same or similar bidder names whose member profile do not exist ( they seem to just be hiking up the bidding process, how many razor blades do the same person needs? right! They appear in almost every bid hiking up the price. I think it is a computer program or employees monitoring the bidding ) Some of the fake EBAY account names are as follows

 Member Id: 2***1, 5***4, c***g, r***b, 1***a, d***a, 1***g, a***1, z***a, y***l, e***e, s***e, _***n, 1***p, c***o, u***e, f***p, 5***a, r***a,  r***r, i***h, a***t, 3***a, and 5***6.

You can find suck fake buyer accounts hiking up bids in many categories not just razor blades. I posted this on EBAY forum and it was never posted I tried again and again. Finally Ebay wrote me an email stating that my posting was removed ( yet it was never posted, later I wrote EBAY customer service concerning this fraud and they sent me an email to contact them directly so I called several times I went thru many voice prompts to finally never speak to anyone just be hanged up on after being placed on hold.

It is clear that EBAY hikes up bids, and this fraud needs to be investigated by the federal government and or local law enforcements. I ask that everyone properly monitor EBAY and place a RIPPOFF REPORT online that we put a stop to this horrible injustice us EBAY customers are enduring. I do not recommend EBAY to anyone!!!! BUYERS BE WARN !!!!
