Merry Christmas everyone! I realize that the moderators are probably enjoying this time off with their families. I post this in hopes it will be seen when you return from holiday.
There is a user who keeps putting a starting autobid of roughly 50 dollars on things that can be purchased for 70. She has done this on so many auction listings and it is very frustrating. There are items that I didn't even bother to pursue after seeing their username in the bid history because of this. They have already won some of them and there is no way any one person will pay that much for the same item over and over again. I noticed in previous post that someone else mentioned an issue with this user as well (maybe someone else with same name, I do not have item number for that one though). It would save myself and others a lot of aggravation if you could see if this is a fake account and/or take action on this behavior that is unfair to other bidders. Username is Linda. Item listing number 3621253. Thanks

Re: Moderators Please Investigate
You are wasting your breath! I complained about overbidders on auction site before. I see a lot of bidders continuing to complain...and NOTHING is ever done! Don’t you love it when you look at an item on the regular website that sells for $24.99 and then you see it on the auction site and think about bidding on it to save some money....ONLY to see that someone has bid something like $40 or MORE for it??? Are these bidders stupid or do they just have money to waste? Either way ShopLC is making loads of money on many auctions when people continue to bid lots more than Shoplc’s normal selling price! I’ve weaned myself almost completely off of auctions! I WILL get completely weaned soon! LOL!!!

The thing is they DO NOT BUY THEM when they do this, that is why in a few days you see the item back on the auction, so I would think Sop LC would be losing money.

I am so mad! She has been putting high autobids on almost every single listing she bids on! I can't help but wonder if they permit this behavior that this is an employee or bot bidding on behalf of the house? I would certainly hope not, that would be very dishonest not to mention illegal...
