And my point wasn't about what Greg needed to do - obviously the right thing in this instance. More from the standpoint of what does eBay do to restrict or suspend bidders who abuse their stated policies.

eBay really does nothing even when made aware of shill bidding. There is a seller from Japan that shills every one of their auctions like mad. Last time I posted a link to the shill account it had over 5000 retractions. I know for a fact eBay has been contacted about that seller several times and to this day has done nothing.
