I have used it twice, once to a good friend and fellow 
MOPO/NSFGE/AMP/ISOYG/NOTLD/ whatever member, and once for a job interview. Its 
fine.
I felt uncomfortable, but I am sure that would pass. 
cheaper than a phone call, plus can pull the finger (flip the bird or whatever

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?

bid increments. There was analysis done where in 22% of auctions, 
where there was proxy bid placed, the final selling price of the 
item did not max out the proxy bid. There will be two variants 
running and two control groups. The first variant test will 
increment the bid increment by 2x the current increment and the

Re: [MOPO] eBay is doubling and tripling bid increments

2011-05-11 Thread Bruce Hershenson
It sounds like they are saying that when the final high bid is well over the
current high bid, they will inflate the bid increment by enough so that they
bleed that bidder out of extra money, but not enough that they scream bloody
murder over it.

Isn't another word for this "stealing"?

"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?

Re: [MOPO] eBay is doubling and tripling bid increments

2011-05-11 Thread Alan Adler

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!
