Hello all sellers ,

I am noticing there is recent increase in fake bidders / buyers with the addresses like...

There used to be bids like these earlier also but recently they have increased 5 times more .

Is it only me or with sellers also ??
Further pls check your account log are you getting FVF credit for these fake bids or ebay is refusing FVF on such fake bids , because when i checked my account i found out many such cases where ebay at some later stage refused the FVF credit for such bids without notice and the remark is " FVF not granted " , so pls check and post .

Thanks,
Nitin

Hi Fashion solution ,

Pls check FVF credit for past 90 days for these kind of bidders i have noticed that after some time they suddenly
"FVF not granted " without any reason or notice .

It may appear small amount for one case but if you calculate it per year basis it will amount in thousands .

I would request all sellers to take some time out and check their logs and update here .

Regards,
Nitin
