Most Sellers are Smart.. Doing Unfair JOB..

Hi
I have noticed some things since last 2 weeks.
1. Whenever the seller finds i am desperate to get an item or he is unable to get an expected amount for an id, a dummy id would be created from the seller itself and he will bid on the same item so that other user can increase the amount to get the product.
e.g:.***u( 0 ๐Ÿ˜ž This user has a feedback of 0, means this id is created and this will be repeated often in the bidding..

2. Also most of the seller will keep the bid as Re 1 but the shipping charge as Re 75.Iam fine with that but when i purchase more than one item then this shipping charge should not be included twice but the seller adds it twice..why is it so?
E.g. one item price Rs 25 and shipping charge as Rs 75
item 2: price Rs 50 and shipping charge as Rs 75. when we purchase these 2 items it should be Rs 25 + Rs 50 + Rs 75 = Rs 150 but the seller sends an invoice of Rs 25 + Rs 50 + Rs 75 +Rs 75 = Rs 225.. Where in India the shipping charge is Rs 150? the more the products, the more the shipping charge...

mr pandey i think you are still unaware that shipping depends on weight..
Speed post charges rs 110 from us for 535gm parcel which was suppose to travel 2000km from kolkata..

did you ever see bluedart courier charges? if one do not have tieup,we cannot survive!

its a request please stop putting allegations on sellers of shill bidding..because i can take this much gaurantee that any established seller will not waste his time doing same.!!!as he will not become rich mere by gaining 1000-2000.where he is also not sure that winning buyer would pay.!

HENCE REQUEST YOU TO BE CALM AND PATIENT

@rameshwar.pandey.

Please support your statement with details, give the item number that you are referring to and the name of the seller in question only then we will be able to comment fairly. Casting aspersions without any evidence is not right.

@ sales.india: but for 12 items which has around 7 coins not even weighing 20 gms and 5 notes, do you think the charge should be Rs 762.00?

Rameshwar,

Shill Bidding is not allowed anywhere, unless proved.
It is a common practice, not just online, but in real life too, during auctions, there are dummies kept by the auctioneers to rig the prices of the product. It is nothing new.

It works either ways, the seller wants to sell his product with a better margin, and the buyer wants to get the item dirt cheap.

Salesindia: check out express parcels by indiapost. you may get some benefits from it.

Dear 

 
Community Member, Sales India.
 
Mr. Pandey allegations are correct and the way you responded his query it seems that you have some personal interest with such sellers. Or you may be a seller itself with your fake id of being community member. Sellers are involved in such practices and yes there is an automatic bid system that lets anyone set a max bid to that product. If you decide to sell your item in 1lakh then you can bid from dummy id and set the max bid to 1 lakh. I can give you the proof of such sellers who is involved in this malpratice of fake bidding.
 
Just one more thing never show you tantrum in responding anyone's query posted here. and use sentences in lower case.
