Ever since eBay officials decided to raise listing fees, and make some pretty wild changes this year, sellers have been ticked. So ticked that there was a very large organized sellers boycott that has definitely affected eBay’s listing numbers.

But has it caused eBay to commit fraud?

I would  hope that my favorite online auction site would be smarter than this, but many online users are screaming foul and are accusing eBay of listing tens of thousands of “fake listings.” These mystery listings, that popped up right during the sellers strike, were auctions that people couldn’t even bid on.  I guess there was no "bid" buttons on the listings.

Why would they do this? People think to fraudulently inflate listing numbers during this boycott.

Here is a blog that talks about the mystery listings.

What do you guys think?
