Paul I borrowed heavily from Dan's complaint to ebay, but decided to adopt the "sweet and innocent" approach, rather than the "I'm mad as hell and not gonna take it anymore" approach. Hopefully, between the two approaches, and with the help of other reports of this fraud, we may make some progress. Here's what I sent to ebay:
I want to report a clear case of shill bidding. An ebay seller, brsz-2, is using a second ebay ID, nsports, to drive up the prices of his own auctions. If you look at Item # 1824103685, the seller "nsports" states that he is Broadway Rick's at brsz@mindspring.com. Then, look at item numbers 1843485321, 1843484941, 1843485483, 1843493727, and 1843487168. They are all being sold by brsz-2, who also identifies himself in the description as Broadway Rick's at brsz@mindspring.com.
The problem is that nsports has bid on all of these items sold by brsz-2. In other words, Broadway Rick's has bid on Broadway Rick's items. In some cases, he has won his own items. In some cases, he has driven up the price for others.
I know this is against ebay rules. Ebay even has a specific complaint category for this type of conduct. Is there anything ebay can do in the case of a repeat offender like this?
