Invasion of Joybidders

Anyone who has sold anything on auction sites before will know the annoyance that joybidders bring.

Within two days, I have encountered FOUR joybidders on eBay. Well, to be specific, it's FOUR different IDs but could most probably be ONE person only. ONE VERY, VERY free person who has nothing better to do than to mess with other people's affairs.

So far, these four IDs have "won" almost MYR500 worth of my poducts, and it's annoying when I have to reserve the items for them for at least three days knowing that they bidded without the intention of closing the deals. GGGrrr

Also, there are cases where these joybid jokers will leave the seller a negative feedback as soon as auction ended, when they themselves only bidded for fun in the first place.

eBay Malaysia currently doesn't offer much protection to both buyers and sellers, and when they do, I bet they'll start charging listing fees! BAH!
