Will it release, or will it remain in limbo for ever?

It should release according to him on Thursday, unfortunately.

Iv'e been reporting this piece of ****'s listings for weeks now, he's still shill bidding on his items on an almost daily basis. He's using his 'bethanstron_3' account with 31 feedback to bid on items in this 'bethanstron38' account, almost every single auction he puts up he's shill bidding on it, they always get a shill bid straight away within seconds of being listed.

And whenever the feedback score goes up on the bethanstron_3 account low & behold it also goes up on the account that's bidding, it's 100% him.

Here's the bethanstron_3 account - https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/bethanstron_3?_trksid=p2047675.l2559

For some strange reason ebay isn't removing him, If more people can report his listings for shill bidding then hopefully they might ban him.

He currently has 2 auctions up with shill bids, iv'e reported both.

Reported! Hope it helps.

I also reported him.

Thanks for reporting guys, he's just shill bid on this new listing too. :evil:

Same bidder, how can ebay not be connecting this? :?

Probably cause he's making them money and they can't be bothered to do anything about it.

I'm going to have to contact ebay to tell them in detail what's happening, the amount of bids with this seller and the bid retractions, it's just so obvious..

Hate seeing scammers getting away with this ****. :evil:

So, just got off of live chat with ebay, got put through to the right dept. who deals with shill bidders, they've looked into these accounts and have agreed with me that the username bidding is indeed the bethanstron_3 account, they wanted to know how I knew what the username was so I told them briefly how I connected the dots to know it was him.

They are now fully looking into this and said they will take action asap within the next 24hrs.

Good job! Let's hope eBay throws him off for good!

Great to hear that.

Brilliant. Nice work Richard! Fingers crossed my friend.

Ebay still haven't removed him yet, and he's just listed another item and is immediately shill bidding on it again with that same account.

If ebay don't do anything about him that's gonna be the biggest piss take!, i'll never message or report another scammer ever again it's just not worth my time & effort, if ebay don't give a **** then why should any of us bother! :?

There's been another ebay account iv'e spotted lately with zero feedback that's also been bidding a lot on this guy's listings, I suspected it was possibly him and I was bloody right, he's just started listing in it, so be aware people of this account not to bid on anything he lists as you'll be the victim of shill bidding...

No probs!

Well put it this way if ebay don't remove his other accounts that iv'e reported then i'm not gonna waste my time bothering any more.

From what iv'e already told ebay they should be seeing any other accounts he has linked anyway.

Maybe he uses different email adresses to this accounts :? But I hope ebay will stop him :wink:

Return of the shill bidder!, bidding with his '9 feedback' bethanstron38 account.
