He said good for him for buying it at $250 and reselling for $750. There is nothing wrong with that.

His comment wasn't referring to the shill bidding. Shill bidders suck. They should be busted out for that.

He wrote "If he's shilling against his own shills, he's dumb, but, again, good for him"
That was after he said good on him for tryna make more

I agree.
But for Dane to say good on him for shill bidding shows a lack of ethics

Not sure how you jumped from:

A) My saying good for him for trying to triple his money on something.

or

B) My saying good for him for shill bidding against his own shill bids, thereby creating a situation where nothing changes and he ends up owing eBay fees for this actions.

To concluding that I shill bid on my own items...

I've not said it's okay for him to shill. I explicitly said that if he's made three accounts that he's using to shill bid against his own shill bidding, then good for him. He wastes his time, looks like a moron, and owes eBay fees for his actions. He's still stuck with whatever he bought and has sunk more into it. I don't understand why you would feel a need to post... 15 or so times about the same listing.

First off, there's an edit thread option at the top of the thread you create. You can add additional thoughts/information you find there, rather than replying to your own thread repeatedly and spamming the new post sidebar.

Secondly, the reason I said you should complain to eBay rather than promoting for him stemmed from your actions which kept bumping this thread. I don't like shilling, and it's actually illegal, not just unethical, in the US. The fact that eBay allows it irks me to no end, but they also have systems in place to deal with shill bidders. You report them using the "report item" link on the auction page. They might not respond, but the odds of them responding to that link are infinitely higher than the odds of them responding to your posting here about it.

And how is pointing out his fraudulent activities "promoting" him?
So if someone is selling a fake auto and it's brought up on this site that's "promoting" as well?
Get lost

I'm fine doing a new post instead of making the old ones longer
You don't know how I concluded that. You said good on him for shill bidding. that's how.
You can't say good on him then say it irks you
You are the one who came on and commented. Who cares about a post in the sidebar? Do you not know how to scroll down?

Dane this isn't the first time you've tried, let's say, calling me out on something and you've been wrong each time
How about just leave it as is and I'll update whatever I found out as I wish

I agree with Carlos, he is shill bidding and deserves to be called out for it
