I have got gift of Independence day from eBay India.

I have got notice from eBay India stating that I have violation of Shill Bidding Policy.

My all listings which are ended early by eBay India for violation of shill bidding policy are listed in Fixed Price OR Shop Format with "BUY IT NOW" button. When I have no items listed with Auction Format then how can anyone bid on my items ?? & How the shill bidding can take place ?

I am still wondering how is it possible??

In eBay India shill bidding policy it is mentioned that relatives & roommates can purchase the seller's item, if it is listed in "BUY IT NOW" Format and it does not comes under the voilation of shill bidding policy as no bidding is included in it.

My all items listed are in Fixed Price Format OR Shop Listing with "BUY IT NOW" Button, No auction or bidding is offered in my any listing then Why I am given this notice?? & Why my listing are cancelled??

The respected eBay has also stated in the notice that they are not going to Credit the Fees of the Listings which have been ended early by eBay for the Shill bidding policy voilation??

I have emailed the eBay about this and waiting for their response.

Is there someone who can help me in this matter ??

Hi,
Shill bidding is a complex matter. It is true that with BINs+sole PaisaPay,buyer cant fiddle.
But there is more to it.
Did you bid other's item?
Have you shared ID+pass word?
Please take my advice.Communicate with CS.

Hello

Thanks for your reply. I have email the team to check it again and I have never bid on my own item. I even don't have listing with Auction Format. All the listing are in Fixed OR Shop Format with "BUY IT NOW" Button. No offer for bidding then how can anyone bid on my item?

Hope, I will get what I deserve.

Thank you very much.

The Italian eBayers community is facing a crisis which involves two important eBay Italy executives.
The community found Paola Bonomo, senior director manager at eBay, and Nicola Marconato, manager at eBay Motors Italy, helping irregularly the presence of Renault Italy in a new selling activity on eBay.
Paola Bonomo announces on her blog the opening of the new Renault Italy shop: http://blogs.ebay.it/paola1969/entry/Negozio-ufficiale-Renault-su-eBay/_W0QQidZ740513013#comments
When checking it, it results that Nicola Marconato (id nicola.marconato, id asinello viola) and other eight accounts have sold Renault keyrings to the Renault group for € 0.01, breaking many of the rules of eBay. Nicola Marconato surely committed feedback abuse and did not say he was an eBay employee.
Asinelloviola is Nicola Marconato, see http://myworld.ebay.it/asinelloviola and http://www.linkedin.com/in/nicolamarconato.
He is an eBay manager and says: “I hate collectors”.
These are the screen prints of the selling of the feedbacks, before eBay tried to cancel the evidence of the facts, deleting the feedbacks.
The biddings for the cars sold by Renault Italy probably have been shell biddings .
It is easy to understand it by seeing the development of the negotiation.
The Italian eBayers community is protesting; this is happening just when eBay is trying to make more difficult to search objects with Best Match, and is adopting strict measures towards those ebayers who have a low score on their DSR
The Italian eBayers community wants the Italian managers to apologize, and to be punished for those serious violations to the rules and to the trust which constitutes the basis of eBay values.
eBay Italy has not commented on the fact yet, and it seems like it is just trying to delete the evidence of what has happened.
