Agreed, I reported this guy and got this:Hello.

Thank you for writing back about seller acat028.

I noted you are concerned that this seller is violating our Shill
Bidding policy. First, I would like to acknowledge the time and effort
you are taking to bring this to our attention.

As you may be aware of, we at eBay are concerned about violations on the
site as they severely impact the safety of the site. Because of your
timely advice, I have taken the appropriate action in accordance with
our site policies. These actions could include issuing a warning,
temporary suspension, indefinite suspension or terminating the
membership.

I hope you understand that while I would like to disclose to you the
details of my action, eBay policy prevents me from disclosing this due
to our privacy concern. Please be assured however that we rendered
resolute action especially on the concern you mentioned as we are
particular strict on this issue.

I also would like to inform you that to keep eBay a safe place for
buyers, we limit the display of bidders' user IDs. In the bidding
history, each bidder's ID is replaced with an anonymous name, such as
x***y. To protect the winner's right to remain anonymous, only the
seller of the item sees the winning bidder's user ID.

Replacing bidders' IDs with aliases (such as Bidder 1, Bidder 2 and
Bidder 3), helps eBay combat attempts of fraud such as fake Second
Chance Offers. As eBay continues to grow however, we remain a target for
online criminals.

Fraudsters attempt to trick members into purchasing a similar item to
the one they just bid on by sending them a fake Second Chance Offer.
They are able to do this because a high percentage of members have
registered an email address that is close or identical to their eBay
User ID so it is easy for them to guess their email address based on
their User ID.

For information on how to trade safely on eBay and ensure you are
protected against online fraud, you may go to:

Security Centre - Phishing (fake emails)

I would like to thank you again for taking time out in helping us keep
erring and malicious parties out of the site. I appreciate your
vigilance and hope you continue assisting us. It is through concerned
members like you that keep this site safe and fun to use and we value
that.

Regards,

Katrina A.
Trust & Safety Team

When i bidded the last time i was seeing wheteher they would bid again or not please help cheers for all ur support guys

depends if you want the cards. You have bid that much so you must have been prepared to pay that. The way i look at it bid what you are prepared to pay if you win you win if you dont so be it. no point bidding $25 if you only wanted to pay $10 then complaining about it.
