    The pojt is not to get the bids removed but to get the shillers accounts suspended.
    It matters not whether there are bids or not, it's the history and the future potential.
    It's BOUGHT (to Buy), not BROUGHT (to bring) AND you cannot be frauded, only DEfrauded.

    Please do not buy animals from a pet store. Visit your local sanctuary or centre and give a good home to an unloved or abandoned animal.

    Having reported blatant shill bidding today.. received the same reply. only with no name at the bottom of the e-mail it only said:

    "No action taken for shill bidding."

    Personally I read this that they have acknowelded shill bidding but are taking no action..

    or surley the reply should read "no shill bidding uncovered" or something like that.. :confused:
    The only place where success comes before work is the dictionary…

    I don't care whether it's the point, it just looks as if ebay did something.

    As to future potential, even if they do remove an account, the shiller can always come back with new ones.

    Sadly, there's no permenant answer to people like that. I suppose they'd lose their feedback at least.
