Long time Seller is Shilling?

[whateve]

Here's the bidder information: http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI....Name=PageBidderProfileViewBids_Buyer_ViewLink

I'm upset because I wanted this item but now I don't know if I should accept a SCO if offered. I don't want to reward the seller for shilling.

That seller and buyer have been reported to ebay for 18 months. Ebay doesn't see it. (Actually, it's closer to 2 years.)

The seller has 2 other "suspected" shills, though these can't be identified because they didn't leave feedback:

What makes me even more sick, I looked on toolhaus and found that I gave this seller great feedback in the past on an item I probably overpaid for.

I've been looking for this card case for months and this is the only seller that has it listed. I won't buy from this seller again. I refuse to reward shilling.

That makes me even madder! I posted this in 2011 and bought from this seller in 2012. I wish there were a way to block myself from bidding on certain sellers. I can't remember all the ones I should avoid. I have them saved to my "favorite sellers" list but then I forget to check it before bidding.

The BIN didn't sell and it is listed again: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NWT-SIS-OCELET-METALLIC-Business-Card-Wallet-ID-Case-F-62899-/330856994999

It has sold twice to shills.

 

[whateve]

And again the shill won it, outbid another shill!

How much do they think they can get for that thing? Seriously

 

[Alex Spoils Me]

Yes.

on another note, I just left a note for Edropoff on there site. Habitual shills.

Sadly, shilling seems commonplace w/ many long-time sellers:

Stupid question, what is shilling?

 

[Catshandbags767]

It's when the seller has another account and they bid up on there own auctions to get more money for an item

They also (if they are a business) may have employees (such as edropoff did), friends, or consignees bid on the items--all in order to jack up the price.

 

[Lulugrl]

Oh, O.K., yucky!!! I've heard about people doing that, didn't know what it was called

 

[MizzEve]

Good to know. I'm bidding on a few edropoff auctions now
