eBay's Death by a Thousand Cuts

Ebay DOES NOT have it's seller's best interests at heart when they continuously "game" the auction process to lure more buyers in, (and damn the sellers). I found evidence of a syndicate driving up prices in a whole category, (motorcycles). 95% of bidders use the same format in creating User IDs, (e.g. "a***b- the only ID changes from bidder to bidder are the letters- e.g. "a***b). Winning bids use to be "real" for buyers wanting realistic deals. I told Ebay of the problem, but nothing was done One more paper cut.
Now a bidder has stiffed me after he won an auction because he knows no real harm will happen to his Ebay account status. So Ebay accumulates one more paper cut. THANK THE AUTHOR OF THIS ARTICLE VERY MUCH FOR PUBLISHING THE WEB ADDRESSES OF ALTERNATE AUCTION SITES!
