Blatant Shill bidding. Need help reporting.

FamilyGuy_2

Hey,

There is this seller selling a load of fake goods and is using another account to shill bid items. And, he/they are also selling the same fake goods from the other account.

The ebay id is:

http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=zulfiker123

Shill account is:

http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=yjanar&iid=120014303943

some examples of shill bidding:

http://offer.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=120013150938

http://offer.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=120010229926

I've tried reporting people in the past for blatent shill bidding, but eBay haven't done anything about it, and people carry on getting conned. I was thinking if many of us did it, we could help a lot of people.

Cheers

Mate ive been trying to report a shill bidder and Ebay have done nothing at all, the seller has a feedback of nearly 4000 so they are going to be loosing fees and this shill bidding must have made people pay thousands more than they have to , have a look your self................

http://cgi6.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBidItems&userid=kellsbell1010&sort=9&page=1&rows=200&completed=1&all=1

115 bids in the last month alone !

How are they losing fees? If the item sells for more, they get more.

Ebay would lose the fees if the item sold for a lower price - it is in their interest to ignore these shill bidders.:mad:

Exactly ! !

Also if they kicked high volume sellers from e-bay they would lose loads of money so its in their interests to keep them.

I hardly see any need for this one to be banned...95% feedback, surely no buyer will touch this with a bargepole so the seller is effectively not operational anyway.

have reported the purplehog11 situation as well.
kellsbell1010 has bid on over 115 items from purplehog11.
This is the most blatent case of shill bidding I have ever seen, and eBay should be ashamed of itself for allowing such deception to occur. If Ebay is to be a safe trading space it needs to get itself sorted and weed out this scum.


Edit/ the seller in the Ops original post is now NARU'd

While you were editing I reported with very similar wording:

kellsbell1010 has bid on 115 of purplehog11's auctions in the last 30 days. It's blatant shilling which the seller has been doing for many months now.

Let's hope for a result here.

Well done all, the power of MSE strikes again!

It usually only takes one report from a powerseller to finally get these shillers banned.

BTW, cvd-farm-hols is also bidding on a lot of purplehog's auctions. However, I don't think this is shilling as they seem to be buying up lots of Mexican Corona furniture and have been to other sellers as well.
