We have 3 accounts here, Me, My missus and my son, all from the same IP..... I certainly wouldnt want to pick up there auction bills!! ;)

Don't think there was any funny business - the buyer who outbid has bid on three beer coolers over the last week all with different sellers
One ended on 23/1, one on 28/1 and yours on 29/1
He either has a pub or likes his beer a LOT............. :shock:
You only need a different email address to open a second account and it is quite a common practice if you post on ebay forums to protect your main ID from possible retaliation if you happen to upset someone with your opinion

Whilst we are on the subject of funny business being carried out on Ebay, have you guys seen this ?

That is the first auction, take note how the buyer and seller are similar - not that I am accusing if you know what I mean ..........
Oh look, it's offered again at a HIGHER price buy it now only sale

been off-line over the weekend and just come back on,
to find 2 emails via Ebay from people offering me the chance to buy/bid on the same type of item I was bidding on in the first place.
Has anyone come across this sort of thing before.
