Hello,
For some time now I’ve been following the shop and assortment of a certain seller (store). Recently, in the sales I’d been watching, I noticed a pattern that most of them were being sold for the same amounts in euro. Coincidence? Possibly.
I wanted to check who the bidder was, but in all auctions there is the text: "private auction – bidders’ identities are protected". So I won’t find out who is taking part in the auctions.
I wouldn’t want to throw the guy under the bus for no reason, but when I see several auctions in a row sold for exactly 355 euro, it looks a bit suspicious to me. Is there any way to check this somehow?
And the second question: are there any automations/bots that will place a bid for a given amount at a given time? Or are these just people outbidding offers 30 seconds before the end?
