Kristen,
It's called shilling and is against Ebay policy to do so.
As for "2001
Oil Companies" (gasgooil), a not so favorite new and used parts company that Jeff is associated with, that remains to be seen. Regardless, what he is doing is both immoral and illegal. Shame on him for not only shilling his auction, but doing so more than once, and with several different user accounts. It's people like him who give the honest sellers and bidders a bad name........
