<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Frankcoins.com, post: 1597265, member: 16048&quot;]Ebay has quietly modified its shill bidding policies to remove problematic bans against bidding on items sold by people you know or if you have knowledge about an item that others do not have (with threats to notify law enforcement!) This created problems for people who are bidding on items from trusted local sellers, or those who perhaps cared enough to inspect an item in person before bidding. (Do they now &quot;know&quot; the seller? Do they now have more knowledge than other bidders and must disqualify themselves?) Ebay drop-off stores were forced to watch their consignor&#039;s items sell for less than their true value if an employee wanted to bid on them -- hurting the consignor, who gets less for his item, and both ebay and the drop-off store, who make less commissions. The new policy, practical and simple ( is this a first for eBay?) is basically: Don&#039;t use a fake account to run up the price of YOUR items. You can buy from people you know as long as you intend to buy the item and not artificially increase its price or desirability.</p><p><br /></p><p>Old rules:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.fidosysop.org/sitefiles/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/ebay-old-shill-policy.png" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.fidosysop.org/sitefiles/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/ebay-old-shill-policy.png" rel="nofollow">http://www.fidosysop.org/sitefiles/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/ebay-old-shill-policy.png</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>New rules:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.fidosysop.org/sitefiles/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/eb-shill-bidding-policy_20120603.png" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.fidosysop.org/sitefiles/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/eb-shill-bidding-policy_20120603.png" rel="nofollow">http://www.fidosysop.org/sitefiles/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/eb-shill-bidding-policy_20120603.png</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
