QUESTION ABOUT SHILLING? (((POLL)))

51 posts in this topic

RDogg, Correct me if I'm wrong. What you're doing is NOT shilling, which is by MY definition, an attempt to bump any headroom out of a legitimate lead bidder's high bid on an item and make him pay more for it. You're talking about simply making a "bookmark" bid. A bid that won't come anywhere near winning it in 99% of the cases, but will let you TRACK IT easily by accessing your Search: as a Bidder: RDogg : Current bid Ebay icons, if your auction watch 20 book register is full. Ebay will also send you a bid confirm email as a reminder along with a "no longer the highest bid" email as a double reminder if you get distracted. Am I right? If so, this is NOT shilling at all.

Well in my case, I checked the box letting ebay know that I don't want to be emailed if I am outbid because my inbox would be full! tongue.gif I don't see it as shilling either, and I believe 99% of the board members would agree. Thanks for the comment laugh.gif

OK, aren't you guys in the coin section talking about crossing over from different services? Maybe you are a comic guy or not as bright as I gave you credit for! tongue.gif

Yessss, we were. And just what were you doing in the coin section? Huh? I am not sure I like you sniffing around the coin section smile.gif I intend to keep the coin section and the comic section very separate. I can act like a insufficiently_thoughtful_person over here, but I have to act all serious and stuff over there. I can't be having you guys see that side of me smile.gif

If you gave me ANY credit for being bright, then you missed the boat. Like I said ... I am STOOOOOPID smile.gif
