HLC,
With all due respect;
He could have simply ended the auction at any time for a plethora of reasons.

He did that once before a few days ago.

He would have only eaten the Ebay fees and walked away unscathed otherwise.

And yes it's 'illegal' to bid on your own auction to"to bump it to what he wants?"

How would you feel knowing you are bidding against the item's seller??

BJ and Ebay; Apples to Oranges.
Someone else here can tell you how much it cost a seller to buy back his car at BJ. I do know it's A LOT more than the measly seller fees charged when you cancel an ebay auction early.

There was NO reason to shill his own auction other than the obvious nefarious one!

Besides it's one thing to shill an auction on Ebay and another altogether to promote his slimy behavior here on CC.

The guy does NOT deserve a break. He's an idiot for thinking we're all comatose from sidepipe fumes.

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

Regards,
Doug
