I'm looking into getting a halo. So I found this auction:

http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1808711518

However, when I viewed the seller's feedback, I found numerous listings from freeflow4life who just happens to be the high bidder here.

If you look at the items the feedback was listed for, you'll see bogus items that sold for .01 or something.

Well, as it turns out, freeflow4life and eric frick are both from Mission Viejo, CA. Probably the same person....trying to up their feedback!!! Ugh.

I tried to bring it to the attention of eBay or SafeHarbor or whatever...but I couldn't figure out how to communicate with them. Just kept getting a run-around about rules, etc.

Could someone help me out here? Thanks.

Guess that moron doesn't know that it cost him to sell on there. I figure that sale cost him around $6.

UPDATE:
After emailing safeharbor@ebay.com, I received an email saying that they would be looking into the situation.

Today, I received an email stating that the situation met the requirements for the removal of feedback and that the feedback was removed!!!

How cool is that?!?! Think about that the next time you try to cheat the system. :)

Good work. I think they should have done more than just removed the bogus feedback. A suspension (at least a temporary one) should be in order. At least in my opinion.

Did you get a chance to see the feedback before they removed it? If you checked some of the items, they had descriptions like "12345" and thats it. It was a clear case of bogus auctions to inflate feedback.
