Just found this thing called Gener8. It looks like a scam at first glance but I've done the research and it's actually legit. They're basically trying to revolutionise web advertising by paying you, the user, for seeing adds. It's in its infancy right now and could obviously fail, but right now there doesn't seem to be any drawback to signing up for it, which is what is needed if it's going to work. I've decided to give it a chance. 

As someone who's pissed off with Ad-block's ever decreasing usefulness (since many sites can now block the Ad-block), this does seem too good to be true but we'll see. 

The thing is, no one can get the full benefit of it if they can't get at least two referrals, which is understandable since the project will fail without users supporting it. 

It's available on Chrome and Firefox so far and you also have to be in the UK to reap the benefits (for now). 

Not something I would normally ask but if anyone UK based feels like giving it a try, my referral link is below. It would help me out in order to test how well it actually works. 

You DON'T have to give them any of your banking details.

As I suspected, the other bid was just retracted then immediately re-bid to just under my max to force my highest bid.

This is the first and only bid on ebay I have ever retracted. And I obeyed the rule of immediately re-bidding. Whenever people on my listings retract bids they've never actually re-bid.

Sounds absolutely like shill bidding. It's probably the seller driving up their sale price. Or it may just be someone random playing silly buggers. But more like it is the seller either directly or someone on their behalf. 

Just be careful you don't come under fire from ebay yourself for also changing your bid in the same manner. I presume you don't make a habit of retracting bids?

It seems I have just been a victim of shill bidding on ebay. At least that's how I'm looking at this. Maybe others will see it differently?

I had a bid on a blu ray. My max was £4.05 + P&P costs. A short while ago I noticed two emails from ebay: one informing me I'd been outbid (no big deal, win some, lose some, I didn't want this title that much to up my max any further) and the other informing me that the other bid had then been retracted and I was the high bidder again. 

This should all be fine and dandy, but here's where it all gets suspicious. The other person apparently bid on the item no less than ten times little by little until they found my max bid value. They then immediately retracted their bid and reentered it to just under what they now knew my max was, forcing my bid to max price. If they are going to do that, it seems clear to me that they don't actually want the item in question and are just in it to drive up the price. The seller has made their bidders completely private as well, which further causes me to suspect that they are bidding their price up with a second account or getting a friend to do it. 

For some reason ebay does not count 'suspected bid manipulation' as a valid reason for retracting my own bid. I've done the only feasibly thing that I could think of: retracted my own bid on the same grounds of 'entered wrong amount' and then re-bid myself to just below the other person's max. I'm now interested to see whether they retract their bid again now that they are suddenly winning the item.

Tombi 2. I've known it was rare for years but hung onto it. It's actually an old favourite but I haven't played it for years and my PS1 setup is actually a little worn out (especially the controller) so I figured I'd stick it on ebay for £100 and accept offers on it. Jumped at £80, obviously. 

If I ever get nostalgic for it I'll just watch a YouTube Let's Play. 

The first game is even rarer but I never played that much less owned it.

Just sold an old PS1 game for £80. Good times.
