Well I reported him for shilling... The shafting bastard..
This is what Ebay sent back to me:
Thank you for taking the time to write to eBay's Safe Harbor department.
Shill bidding is a serious offense and we will investigate your report
as soon as possible, usually within 24 hours.
We will investigate the accounts for possible shill bidding by looking
at the information you have provided as well as our internal records. We
will also compare this to bidding patterns and any other activity that
may have occurred involving the reported accounts.
If we are able to find evidence of shill bidding, our actions can range
from issuing an educational alert, a temporary suspension, or in some
cases an indefinite suspension. The type of action that we take depends
on the specific situation surrounding an individual account. Things such
as the existence of a previous warning, the nature of the offense and
the length of time as a community member will all be taken into
consideration. Repeated violations of policies will often result in the
suspension of a member's account.
Sometimes, what appears to be shill bidding may actually be a legitimate
bidding activity. This can occur for a number of reasons, for example, a
bidder may bid almost exclusively on one or two sellers whom they have
come to trust. If we find there is not enough evidence of shill bidding,
we may not take action against any of the reported accounts.
We assure you that we will thoroughly examine your report. Please keep
in mind that due to our privacy policy you will not receive specific
details of our actions. In certain circumstances, we may contact you by
email if we need further information. We pledge, though, that an eBay
Safe Harbor representative will quickly review your report of shill
bidding and apply our guidelines fairly.
**Please do not respond to this email as your reply will not be
received.
We know your time is valuable and we appreciate you taking a moment to
express your concern to us. Thank you for helping to keep eBay a safe
and reputable forum in which to conduct business.
Regards,
The eBay Safe Harbor Team
