shill bid

I think I've been the victim of shill bidding, how I report this?

You can read eBay's full policy in shill bidding here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/policies/selling-policies/selling-practices-policy/shill-bidding-policy?...

What it boils down to is don't bother to tell eBay about it!

Few of us trust eBay to be vigilant on shill bidding. Even when it was reportable, there was little evidence of any meaningful enforcement. Cynics pointed out that eBay itself benefits  from the higher fees that successful shill bidding produces.

Compare this with eBay's measures to prevent fee evasion. EBay now scans every message between its millions of members and imposes automatic, 7 day suspensions where this is even suspected. We can all see where eBay's priorities lie!
