it does not pay to bid high early on in auctions. I bid low to start then wait for the final 10 seconds and throw down.

Who knows? Perhaps they sent the guy or gal a warning, or are looking into it, or doing nothing.

The only way i know how to see the actual ebay ID of the people who are bidding is by being the one who is selling the item... unless im missing something?
