Being harassed on eBay! Yet another update.....ugh!!!

[shelti]

Just did a quick search on my phone.  I see the listing for the Sea ponies in my watch list, but not when I look at her other auctions.  I do see she has other stuff up though, so maybe they only got the sea ponies?

The sea ponies and the baby lot are both still up
I can see all the items they have for sale when I look at seller's other listings.
Maybe it just your browser.

At least with the baby lot bucksnut has bid it up so high I doubt anyone is going to bid. Let's hope not anyway.

I want to report this person also, but I can't figure out what to choose in the report item section.  There doesn't seem to be anything about shill bidding there and there certainly isn't anything listed about feedback manipulation. So how are you guys reporting her listings and what are you choosing after you click report item?

Oh nevermind I finally found it, it was under a heading I wasn't thinking of choosing.  Why can't ebay make things easier. Good grief.  Both listings were reported by me. I am sick of this being allowed to continue.

Choose listing practices (under category): Fraudulent listing activities (under reason): Seller is using other accounts to inflate item prices (under detailed reason)

I think it's more than that.  I just ran a search for mlp babies, worded several ways.  They don't pop up.   
Was using Chrome, just tried Safari.  Still no there, but if I click on the link here, they show up.  This is not a good thing finding that different browsers find different auctions.       
I will happily report any auctions ya'll post here unless someone has a magic trick to finding them myself.  More than me being curious than I NEED to know.

I reported all the auctions that had that same bidder bidding up the price.  I am hoping they will look at the older auctions and see its the same bidder over and over. Sadly they don't give us a place to explain that fact.  A long time ago you could write like a small amount of words to explain a concern with a report which was more useful if you ask me.

I just found her auctions by looking up her seller name on ebay and the items she had for sale.

I think what eBay has done is downgrade her top seller rating so that her listings don't show up easily because she's had a lot of marks against her while they do their investigation.... could that perhaps be the case? Would any more savvy eBayers know?

[tulagirl]

Who knows Bluerose.  Its a thought but I am not sure at all what might be going on.  I found several of her listings just by her seller name.

I wonder if a person bidding on the item has a better case.  Say you bid a small amount on her auction and then she outbids you then...you report her.  I think that might also speak volumes.  Especially if you see that item up again..you can report it again.

[bluerose9978]

Since I had won one of her auctions, I thought that eBay would be more inclined to listen to me but the guy asked me why I cared. I told him because she ripped me off and I didn't want to see anyone else ripped off by her.

[tulagirl]

Seriously I have to ask you why would ebay ask you such a stupid question as that?  I mean why should we care?  First of all its a forum of theft for one thing.  You are secretly forcing someone to pay more for an item and number two its against ebay policy in which case they should care more, and its sellers like this that ruin the community of selling for everyone and ebay can lose money when things don't sell or sell lower because buyers don't feel ebay is a safe community to bid in anymore.  If the entire site is shady...sellers will leave. Come on.  What kind of stupid a question is that?

[coinoperatedgirl]

I wasn't even using my browser. B I'm using the eBay app.

[rybett]

Oh.  Don't have that one as my phone drives me around the bend already. 
"why should you care?"  Answer: Why don't you?

[bluerose9978]

I have have been careful in the past couple of years to check why bidding has gone so high for auctions and I'm glad I have. I think it's good for buyers to check the bidding history before bidding on an auction to see if there's any fishy looking bidding going on and to check a seller's feedback to see if they have any strange sounding feedback like lieubug does. I wish I had, then maybe I would have put 2 and 2 together before I bid. I didn't realize it until bucksnut harassed me.

[tulagirl]

This is why I never bid until the last minute. I am not going to have some shiller come and raise my bids. I either use sniper services or bid myself at the last second if at all possible. If there isn't a bin I will not bid early. 

[bluerose9978]

The baby lot ended! Bucksnut was the winner! Haha!
