I received a second chance offer this morning on an ebay auction I got outbid on less than 12 hours earlier. I was not going to accept the offer simply due to the fact that it was a clear example of shill bidding. What concerned me is this:

My original bid was for $5.05 and there was a shipping charge of $5.

The second chance offer is making the lot available for $5.05. I just happened to look at the shipping charges and they are now $10. I had no idea that this could be changed on a second chance offer. When shill bidders aren't involved, I might be happy to accept a second chance offer, and wouldn't even pay attention to the shipping charges.

I just thought I'd share this so no one gets caught in this scam (yes, I consider this a scam)
 
ID please I wanna try this guy on it.
I got hit with that also a while ago. If it's the same guy I am sure I can have him removed.
Ebay and their rules normally mean " especially " on 2nd chance offers you are not allowed to make the difference via shipping charges.

What's the link if there is one, Would like to view it.
