Does this look like SHILL BIDDING to y'all???
Summary: lsugoat raises concerns about suspicious bidding activity on certain eBay items, noting a bidder who only bids on one seller's items without winning any auctions. They suspect shill bidding, as the prices are unusually high. arraus finds that eBay has automated systems to detect suspicious bidding. After reporting the issue to eBay, lsugoat was guided on how to file a report, but remains frustrated as eBay has not provided further feedback.
Ebay Item #'s 407212710899, 407212734359 and 407212721037 just to list a few.
Here is the bidder who has bid these 3 item up
30-Day Summary
Total bids: 227
Items bid on: 69
Bid activity (%) with this seller: 100%
Bid retractions: 0
Bid retractions (12 months): 0
They have NOT won a auction from this seller. but they SURE DO a TON OF BIDDING on them. AND ONLY ON THIS SELLERS items.
NO WAY these cards should be selling for anything close to what they are. I know. I've bought 100's elsewhere.

I just did some research to see if there was a way to report it. I found, "You don't need to report shill bidding because eBay has systems to automatically detect and monitor suspicious bidding behavior."

I hope that automated system catches it. Seems pretty suspicious!!!

OP2 weeks agoThats the reply I kept getting when I went to report it. i finally got ebay on the phone and they walked me through on how to report it and she said she'd make a report on her end.
This is how the bidding ended up
Total bids: 361
Items bid on: 85
Bid activity (%) with this seller: 100%
Again. Sure as hell looks like something is going on.

Mentor2 weeks agoYou are correct. eBay will not tell you what they may have found or what action they may have taken with another user. They consider this private information between eBay and the user.
