    Did you get an e-mail, Naz? I've heard nothing.................

    Astonishing if they're not going to do anything! :mad:

    I think ebay are stuggling with the amount of items reported and are sending automatic automated responses.
    I sent one off (on another item) and got an automated "no action" reply.

    I then replied to the that mail, had a complete rant at their ineptitude (and that they are condoning fraud and contradicting their own rules), and got a reply from a real person who said they'd look into it.
    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.

    Was it a rant worthy of Neil Warnock? :rotfl:

    I did get an e-mail and all it said was "No Action Taken" nothing else saying from such and such, ebay customer service rep or nothing!!

    I'll try replying and telling them they are useless!

    I remember coming across a blatant case of shilling a few years back and I was told to check who the ID's were registered to at another website. I did and my suspicions’ were confirmed, both were the same person.

    After reading this thread it brought it all back to me. I have been searching for the site, but can’t find it, does anyone know what site it would be?

    This says it all - docmarydoc has only ever bid on items by asimkhan2002 - and as they are all entirely different items it is blatant shill bidding.
