Shill Bidding on eBay
I bought more than 200 eBay items in the last several years with no problem until now. This eBay seller had a reserve. When I asked him about the item conditions, he told me the reserve was at, i.e. $300. I put in my maximum bid at $311, considering the item value. When the bidding closed, there were 2 other bidders, one at $120 and the other one at $299. The second bidder has (0) bid history! He and the seller signed up with eBay about 2 months apart, more than 2 years ago. The seller did not have any eBay activities in the last 14 months. Since this seems like a typical shill bidding, I reported the issue to eBay 3 days ago and received an automatic reply from eBay saying they consider shill bidding a "serious" violation and they will investigate the report within 24 hours. I sent eBay another email yesterday to check on the report status and once again received the same automatic reply from eBay. Two questions arise: 1. How do you folks handle eBay shill bidding problem ? If I do not pay, the seller can leave me a negative feedback. My current feedback is 100%. 2. What is your experience with eBay when you need their help ? Is there anything else I can do ? Thanx, Calvin |
