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!

Ebay says they have the site set to see shill bidding and deal with it so there is nothing really you can do.

You could try phoning by Seller help at the top of the page then scroll down to see the options of call me back or chat with me.

Probably a waste of your time
