HOW TO REPORT SUSPECT SHILL BIDDING???

[upincanada]

ARGHH!!!  "Help" pages go around in circles - where is an actual LINK to report shill bidding??

When someone has 98% of their bidding with one seller, and multiple retractions (12 in last six months) - this raises a red flag.

This with a seller who starts a lot of auctions artificially low to gain interest...

There is a REPORT button on every listing.

It is on the same line as the Shipping and Handling tab way over to the right.

You want to choose Listing Practices.

You are reporting the Seller not the bidder, although of course it may be the same person.

You will get a polite note from eBay. This does not mean the investigation does not happen, just that eBay wants members to police the site, but not be vigilantes.

Tried that first - but there is no subcategory in "listing practices" that corresponds to shill bidding
