YOU GET REPLIES?? :-o
Yeah, but it looks like it's an automated response. There's one acknowledging the complaint, and then a few days later another one thanking me for being an upstanding Ebay user and reporting possible violations, but however there was insufficient proof to take any action. Blah blah. You get the idea. Ironically, there was this one time that they actually DID do something about it and suspended the user. I found out by checking the auction page. Ebay never replied to me on that one. Go figure.
I hear what you guys are saying but on the one and only occasion I reported a Shill Bidder (sorry I've never called it bid shilling!) ebay did act.
The vendor was pretty stupid in that he shill bid on many of his items simultaneously. He did have several IDs. I reported three in total.
Ebay DID reply to me and finalised their correspondence by saying that they could not comment on their action taken but suggested I search for this member. On doing this all IDs read "no longer an ebay member".
Now, I doubt they contacted any of the winning bidders who paid over the odds (they were relatively small sums), but they did appear to act if they indeed had enough evidence.
