Just a reminder that anyone can bid any amount for anything on eBay, with no repercussions.

Source: I once put a website for sale on eBay. Bids went up to $10M. The press covered it like crazy. Turned out the bids were fake.

For example:

There were articles about it in Forbes and Cnet also.

What happens in that case? Does it get sold to the next real bidder?
