A week ago I received notification that my account has been suspended for shill bidding. I didn’t do any thing of the sorts. Then today I get an email stating someone did not receive their item. What happened was I only accept bids in the US unless there is contact prior to bidding and winning. A winning bidder did not contact me until after and was unhappy with my shipping quote. So after a week of no contact on her part I re listed the item. 3 days after I re listed it I got the shill suspension and now they are after me for non shipment. What should I do to resolve this crapola that I am innocent of?

Nope. She told me she didn’t like my quote ( from usps.com) and that was the last I heard, until all this.

I have been doing alot of research on the problems with Ebay. Aside from so many members complianing about high fees, suspensions and shill bidding etc. etc…..

There finally seems to be more awareness to the problem of counterfeits and fake items on ebay.

I’m hoping to hear from people who have bought an item on ebay that you think might be a fake, are you unsure if it is a fake. Have you had a bad experience with Ebay?

Please do share your experience with Ebay here.

Also, if you are interested there is a blog devoted to this very problem, there are links to live auctions selling fakes as you read this right now.
