I got a reply from the report I sent and hopefully it's not just the usual generic drivel. I removed the usernames so the mods didn't jump on me, but it was the seller in question and also the one of the same name with the added numbers on the end. I did also mention about the 4 FB bidder and the 7 FB bidder.

Hi Jane,

Thank you for contacting eBay and reporting XXXXXX and XXXXXX.

Jane, I can assure you that we are investigating on XXXXXX and XXXXXXXX's account and appropriate actions will be taken if ever we find any violations.  We are also investigating further on their feedback scores and listings as of the moment. We are extremely concerned about members who take away the integrity of a fair trade.

As soon  as these sanctions accumulate on their account, then our actions will progress and in some cases this means that the member may be allowed to continue to use eBay, but on a limited and closely monitored basis.

In order to protect members’ privacy, we can’t discuss the results of our investigation or any action we took. This will assure you that we’ll also keep your account information private.

We're glad that you communicated with us and brought this matter to our attention.

Thank you for choosing eBay and always keep safe.

Warm regards,

Ryza O.

It will be interesting to see whether item number 181471862397 gets relisted in 4 days because the only legitimate bidder only bid 77c and the item sold for $US285.

 

I'm wondering given that she's in Victoria, how she could post this item via USPS priority mail. Am I missing something? I thought the item would have to originate in the US to be able to be posted via USPS?

 

One other thing, just to make my already too long post even longer, if bids are withdrawn, does that show up for all to see on the bid page, or can only the seller see those?
