QUOTE from ebay shill bidding policy:

"For the eBay marketplace to succeed, buyers must have faith in the integrity and fairness of the marketplace. Shill Bidding damages the integrity and fairness of the marketplace. For that reason, eBay has a policy prohibiting Shill Bidding.

eBay's policy on Shill Bidding is very simple:

Shill Bidding is bidding that artificially increases an item's price or apparent desirability, or bidding by individuals with a level of access to the seller's item information not available to the general Community. Shill Bidding is prohibited on eBay".

Not talking about this seller. But as you mentioned shill bidding.

Ebay are against shill bidders.... Although successful shillers earn Ebay lots of money becasue they bump the final price (of their own item) up!

So isn't it unfortunate that the recent policy of protecting bidders identities makes it harder to see shill bids?

my favourites are Phil Smiths 'Scott Trial' fascinating insight into the early trials and its move away from a factory ride out to the trial we watch today

best how to book for me is Lanes 'motorcycle trials' simple stuff, explained simply and that works.

probably not much cop for your monoshock but for us pre 65 / twinshock boys hes saved me quite a few dabs.....
