that 'glensink' on ebay does seem to use an alterego, '12081983', to bump the $$$. i saw it happen with the tyres, and when when you do look into it. you see that 12081983 has only ever had feed back from wins by glensink, and always seems to jump in some where in his sales.

so i would warn any others of this character on ebay, when buying your vw stuff.

:vader

another scumbag.... this is a warning for all those who look at ebay buys. this is the response i got from glensink...

There's no law against that.

so be warned about buying from this guy.

Have you reported this to ebay?

It may not be law, but it's still wrong: what eBay investigates

I wrote to them, but don't let that stop you.

Here's the action for those who care:
Bid History for HANKOOK 165/80 R15 WHEELS & TYRES 4 VW BEETLE

"Using secondary User IDs or other eBay members to artificially raise the level of bidding and/or price of an item."

Either 12081983 is a fake or a moron. Raising his own $205 bid to $270.

I dont play on ebay.

yeah i have sent a copy of his email, he confessed that it was him and its not illegal ( dickhead and an idiot),to the ebay dudes. but i did keep checking and he just used it to set an artificial reserve $.
