John Reynolds supplied all of us with a link to 62 feedback responses between the same "seller" and "buyer".

My question remains; "how does any one of these 62 "sales" translate into making money for either party ... even if the two parties are one and the same ... through shill bidding?

Does not the seller have to pay ebay's listing fees and commission on the so-called "sold" items? Are not these fees automatically deducted from the seller's account with ebay? If the "shill bidder" is not paying the seller anything for these 62 items ... it seems to me that the seller is saddled with a considerable ebay expense for naught.

The only one making any money on these fake transactions is ... guess who? ..... EBAY!
