I put up an item on ebay (to raise some cash for 914 parts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ) and been hit with fraud bigtime. First off, somebody stole my picture and started the exact same auction. Ebay took care of that quickly. Second, it looks like a "new" user has jacked up the price ridiculously high. I am not expecting him to pay. Any way to deal with this? |

You can strike his bid. Tell him he doesn't have enough history or feedback. Contact the second highest bidder and set up a buy it now for a price he's willing to pay, then kill the first auction.
