At times, I legitimately fear that it is going to cause SERIOUS problems for our hobby/community. I appreciate the people who say things like "there's always been bad actors," but I like many of you follow the market very closely and it is frightening what has been going on since COVID quarantine. That is not to suggest that this particular auction or any particular auction is fraudulent. That is to say that in the aggregate, the pattern is clear. And ebay doesn't seem to care when there are suspicious patterns and retractions and bidders with 100% bids with one seller. It's almost like all ebay cares about is the fees.

It doesn't look like shill bidding to me and none of the top bidders have 100% bids with the seller. There was one retraction 5 days ago. Thanks!

But as long as their servers are up, yeah, it's all about fees. eBay made me so mad last month that I sold the two shares of stock I had in eBay. That'll teach 'em.
