| Its about time they crack down on that. Maybe its a start of something good and Ebay starts stepping up to asses like that. |

| It would be interesting to know the details on the case though.
Mostly because ebay's new privacy policy makes it difficult to detect shill bidding anymore. I'm pretty sure I fell victim to it recently, but there's just no way to prove it without knowing the identities of those that were bidding against me. |

| If its the same guy (from consett)? he was selling /trading vans and mini buses and using two different accounts to bump prices up, he used both accounts on a regular basis also for legitimate sales, so they where both in his name and his address and had his pay pal details on them........ wont take a genius to work out..... was in the local paper (chronicle) couple months ago Andy |

| its a very vague system though, they can sweep through common trends on bidding on your items but you'd have to be bloody stupid to get caught |
