so I have list of certain aftermarket parts I usually keep on a watch list and every here and there they randomly end with no buyers. well after a new search for the part. I find the same exact part, same pictures, every but all under a different seller. I've now watched this happen 3-4 times now.
What the hell is going on with these people? as far as i can see, they just abandon an account with hundreds of reviews with 99%+ being positive reviews. is there something im missing?

Re: Ebay shenanigans
And also they use secondary ID's to buy stuff, then flip it with their primary ID. Helps to hide some of the more obvious flipping behavior.alien3t wrote:so they can use the extra ID to bid up there stuff.R Cane wrote:I've seen sellers use multiple ID's...for whatever reason...

Re: Ebay shenanigans
It could just as easily be Sleeze-Pay booting out sellers for no reason, who then start up another identity.
