I reported him and ebay have replied saying they haven't got enough evidence of shill bidding.

Ah....

I guess he is sitting there with 3 pcs in his house. One for each bidder...


Or Ebay can't be assed.......

Why should ebay be bothered? Shill bidding increases their revenue. They don't sit around wondering how to make the world a better place. They leave that to this forum.

Strange how the same newly registered people are bidding on both patio sets, the pink pool and the tent ......

Oh look - a flying pig!

Why do ebay not take shill bidding seriously???
There is another "new Bidder" who again is new to ebay and guess what they have only bid on there item.

I reported also in relation to possible Shill Bidding, see below for the response. The next person who fancies reporting the seller should perhaps go down the route that the seller appears to be a non-registered business seller

Thank you for taking the time to report a suspected case of Shill
Bidding to eBay. I understand you're concerned with one of two of
robertrobertrobert1982's listings (150438008480 & 150438080658).

We take Shill Bidding very seriously and we investigated your report
immediately.

When we investigate a case of shill bidding, we look at the information
you provided and compare it to our records of bidding patterns and other
activity involving the reported accounts. We then take any appropriate
action (such as a warning or account suspension) against the involved
accounts to ensure eBay remains a safe and reputable place to shop.

Sometimes, what appears to be Shill Bidding may actually be legitimate
bidding activity. For example, a bidder may bid almost exclusively on
one or two sellers whom they have come to trust. If we find there's not
enough evidence of Shill Bidding, we may not take action against any of
the reported accounts.

Yeah, that's the same stock answer I got.

I never even got an answer! - They can't say it's because they trust the seller as he is new too!

Spoke too soon - just got a reply:

Thank you for reporting a suspected case of Shill Bidding. I understand
you're concerned because the bidders on the corner unit (item
150438008480) of "robertrobertrobert1982" appears to be not genuine.

Before I continue, I want to thank you and reassure you that you did the
right thing by writing in as eBay relies heavily on dedicated users such
as yourself to assist us in keeping eBay the kind of place we all can be
proud of.

Rest assured that we take Shill Bidding very seriously and we
investigate all reports immediately. When we investigate a case of shill
bidding, we look at the information you provided and compare it to our
records of bidding patterns.

Please know that we have taken action and removed the listing from the
website. This means there is no winning bidder for this item.

We will then take any appropriate action against the accounts involved.

we know your time is valuable and we appreciate your help in
helping to keep eBay a safe and reputable place to buy and sell.

Not true though as the listing is still there!!
