Brian S | Banned from EBay-Shill Bidding? |
Several months ago I decided to try to actually try to put up something on ebay. 1st time. I auctioned somethings. I was afraid that I would not get enough to cover my costs. So I thought I would try to get higher bids by bidding on the item my self.
Had no idea that was going to get me banned!
BOOM! I was banned quick. Shill Bidding? never heard of it. I never had bad intentions, but like I said, never knew what I was doing.
I need to get back on. Anyone know how I can do this?
Additional Details
Just wanted to say I appreciate all the answers. But especially those answers from the ones who have never made a mistake. It's good to know there really are "perfect people" out there after all! |

Considering that what you did is against the rules spelled out in the Terms & Service, along with the User Agreement (yeah, the stuff people just click "Accept" on without reading), you really have no recourse against eBay. They deal harshly with anyone that tries to pull an end-run on their rules. To them, the fact that you were bidding on your own item to raise the price, as you admit, is a bad intention.
If you're lucky, they may have just frozen that account and possibly banned your IP address. Depending on the severity of the rules infringement, they can and do blacklist people, meaning that a person's name, SSN, credit card, IP/MAC address, etc... is permanently banned. Once that happens, you're done.
Also, as an FYI: auction houses can and do share blacklist information between each other (depending on if they share a common third-party interest), so if you find yourself having difficulties registering on another Internet auction site, this could be why. |

Sorry but you deserve what you got. That is something you should NEVER do. Listen, you said you thought you wouldn't make enough to cover your costs. Why didn't you start with a higher opening bid? Enough to cover costs and make a little profit.You may never get another chance to sell on Ebay again. |

What you did is dishonest and plain wrong! You don't deserve to be on eBay, so don't bother trying to "get back on".
Next time you want to screw a potential buyer for one of your items, have a garage sale and price it so no one will even consider buying it. |

I am certain you were aware that what you were doing was dishonest when you did it. You come across as an intelligent person. That is why Ebay has a rule against that type of thing. To declare that you didn't know what you were doing sounds desperate.Give it up; face the music. |

Be up front with ebay. You could have placed a minimum bid of acceptance. You nee to have somebody you know sell your product for you. |

Hey, it happened to me too. They banned me for it was either a week or maybe two as I can't remember now. I didn't know this was against their policy either and they said it was all written right there. So.... we don't read everything in those long agreement statements. Then I had to ask to get reinstated and then they go to council or something and you have to sign something saying you won't do that again. Unfortunately in the mean time, it meant that I couldn't contact my other customers and it was unfair to them more than me. I couldn't even leave them feedback. Since you said it was months ago, I would ask them at ebay if you could get reinstated and tell them that you are aware of the consequences now of Shill Bidding. |

you have to appeal, that means sending them a photo copy of your drivers license or state license or something, just go to the help section of ebay they will explain it. next time if your afraid of selling short, use a reserve price on the auction that means you never sell it unless it meets or exceeds your price. |
