8 EBay Sellers Admit to Phony Bids

By MICHAEL GORMLEY
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - Eight eBay sellers were ordered to pay nearly $90,000
in
restitution and fines after admitting they bid up products online to
inflate
the prices.

New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer said more than 120 people will
receive
restitution in the settlement of the three cases, which wrapped up last
week in
state courts.

Spokesman Darren Dopp said the cases stemmed from specific complaints, but
the
office has not conducted a broad investigation of the online auction
industry
and doesn't know how widespread the practice of phony bidding is.


A while back I had bidded on a Drake R8A. I had the high bid until the last
30 seconds when gottahaveit1995 nabbed it. Since then I have read about some
shady tactics of RadioMart. Now I'm wondering if they/he were working
together.
