what to do when a seller has other ids with 100% bid activity pushing price up

Hi, I was wanting to know what to do when you see a Seller has numerous dummy bids accounts ids?

I have prrof. The listing says 100% bid activity with the seller on several bids.

 

Item

222225642770

Cattle crush

 

Reporting gives no option for sellers who are illegally operating false bids

100% bid activity does not mean anything 'illegal' or fake is happening. Look at ANY listing from ANY seller and you will be likely to see it on different items

 

If you do have actual proof (other than the listing says 100% bid activity) report to ebay for shill bidding

I have 100% with a seller because the last few months they are the only seller I've bought from. I've bought quite a bit.

 

What proof do you have apart from the percentage?

To add, the bidding history is only for the last 30 days so unless you have better proof than just the bidding activity, then I don't necessarily see shill bidding happening.

 

Love to know how they're gonna post it for $29.20......................lol

The buyer with the feedback score of 14 is the only buyer that has bid on two of their items,(one bid on

 

the first item and 9 on this item).

 

100% with one seller is not proof of shill bidding.

 

To report them just follow my guide:

100% bid activity with the seller is not enough to decide the seller is doing anything wrong.

 

All it means is that the bidder has only bid on that one item in the last month.

 

If a buyer does not buy very much that would be very easy to do.

Stang, I suggest you read up on how eBay works. Site map.

Most of the bidders on this item are 100%, probably because that's the only item they have bid on in the last 30 days.

Shill accounts usually have 100% bid on many different types of items from the same seller and usually also a good number of retractions.

 

This item doesn't appear as having shill accounts bidding.

there is a few bidders who are bidding on that item with 100% bid activity and they all have various feedback scores, one has over 300 so you cant really go by that. Its not enough proof. Hope you read the item description as you have to pick it up yourself and organize removal
