Look at all the bids from "hokieche" on Ebay.

I want to bid on one of these but I see this users is bidding up everything but never wins. Looks like a shill to me. How do I report it.

That user is new and only biiding on Auctions listed by "childrenswish"

Its a shame a charity would do this!

Yep it looks just like what you said.. all you have to do is write a complaint to ebay and they will send them a warning.. than watch how often hokieche bids on his items. I think there are a few others that he has doing it for him too.. check out the others with O feedback

Ebay wont do a thing since Ebay.ca is one of the sponsors of this!

Well I just got a response from Ebay.

"I have looked into it with our community staff member here and there is no evidence of shill bidding by this user"

I spoke with Ebay on the phone, and they said it is Ebay running these Auctions.

They were not to happy that I complained to the childrenwish foundation.

It looked like a shill to me. Guess I am wrong.

Well if you ask me it still looks like something was going on. I would think that they would have been happy that someone noticed that type of thing rather than getting mad.. how were you to know that EBAY was in charge of those auctions.. Oh well I guess good neighbors are wanted by Ebay so we will leave well enough alone.. Sorry they were not nice to you but thanks for passing the word..

If Ebay is running those auctions, is it Just Possible that they have someone bidding on the items?? Shhhh. Sacrilegious, I guess, but I'm cynical.

Shillers are basically dumb and can't see below their stomach.
Read the first few feedbacks pure nonsensical praise fluff feedbacks this STELLAR seller received as soon as the auctions closed.

And whenever there is a negative someone is always is willing to come to the rescue in minutes.

Auction closed 29-Apr-03 13:04:36 EDT Feedback left 29-Apr-03 13:46:14 EDT just 42 minutes later saying how perfect the item was,talk about speedy delivery
