When these obvious shill bidders are brought to the boards can everyone who sees the posts please report

them.

That way we know there would have been numerous reports and they may be sanctioned quicker.

To report shill bidder listings you can use the Report item link on the listing page,(above the item number).

Then use the drop down boxes: Listing practices > Fraudulent listing practices > Seller is using other accounts

to inflate item price, >Continue > Send report.

I'm bored, there is nothing much on the tele, so I have reported all the listings that have bids......even the listings that said the buyers were private.

Now I am going through their followers, all 68 of them and I have come across one with 4 feedback. Only problem I'm having checking that one is, when I search for bidder to try and get their bid history, I'm getting a 'page not responding, try again later' error on the page. I can seach for everything else in advanced search, but not bidders. 

Maybe someone else could try by seeing below, if I am onto something?

I just got a zap from my remote. All is well and good though 🙂

The bidder that is metioned in the OP with 48 feedback- lo and behold it is the identical name to the seller but with 1987 on the end.

So check out the listing, 181468915740, add 1987 to the end of the sellers name and there's your mystery bidder.

LOL so funny- how can Ebay not see that someone with identical names with only a year added to the name isn't dodgy. Ridiculous to say the least!

we have relisted a heap with more realistic start prices now

Awww i can't check anything,all i get is the page not responding message.

Now i gotta live vicariously through all of you having fun,Sherlocking around.

I've had  'page not responding'  on advanced search for days now

 Someone tipped them off  IMO

So much 'original' artwork.  I wonder if they've got a Round Tuit?     lol

They broke it!

Any ideas why it's not working for some peoples?

I'm home alone with yellow hair & no friends (yes those things are probably connected)& i can't search this new intrigue.

Nope.  Can't find buyers.   Everything else is ok though

So, now, how come they've started a whole bunch of new auctions

at a better staring price?

1 cent starting price is just ridiculous
