"in 22% of auctions, where there was proxy bid placed, the final selling price of the item did not max out the proxy bid." It begs the question, "How does Ebay know what a maximum proxy bid was?" I would think that should be private information. If that information were available to a seller, a seller might always max out the final price through insider "shill bidding." Is it OK as long as the artificial bidding is done by Ebay's corporate sibling eShill? - Original Message - From: Richard Halegua Comic Art To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Wednesday, May 11, 2011 1:27 AM Subject: Re: [MOPO] eBay is doubling and tripling bid increments I loved this part Helmut: "eBay's transaction team will be conducting two tests to our site on bid increments.

Re: [MOPO] eBay is doubling and tripling bid increments
The next thing Ebay's going to do is bid for you when they see something they think you should buy, automatically debit the money from your Paypal account,, charge you a surtax on the postage and bill you for their time. They have finally found their business paradigm - Racketeering!
