Stevo.

I think my stats are one multiple bid in around 20000 sales

Hi Bill thanks for the reply - It's as I expected, my stats are about 1 multiple bid in 10,000 sales.

And yet I have been accused by support of SHILL bidding ?? Just because a customer of mine (outside of eBID) happens to live at a similar street address. There are over 280 homes in our Village all with similar street addresses. So My customer is locked out of eBid and want's to buy several hundred more stamps and can not find any way to contact support or unlock her a/c. I guessI will have to deal with her as before - outside eBid and on eBay.

Thanks again for the reply

That seems a bit odd, have you tried talking to Support and explaining about the similarity of local addresses?

On the subject of multiple bids. Although I've listed a couple of auctions (not for stamps) most weeks for the past couple of years, I've never even had one bid. All my sales have been BIN

Yep, several emails to support answered all their questions I even sent them a link to our village web address
- They have not answered my questions. Funny that they have locked out my buyer and I am the one that has been accused but my account is still OK.

There are at least 4 other people living here that are interested in my stamps and I have suggested that they all join eBid - Don't think that will happen now.

So I have started more listings of my coins on Feebay and in the last few day have sold over $63.00 worth of Australian coins that have not had a bid on eBid. I will no longer list any more Coins or matchbox labels here and I will be using FeeBay more often. I guess support have done me a favour by driving me away and back to FeeBay.

Cheers

I agree this is odd but from my experiences it is their normal.


This has happened to me SEVERAL times and EVERY time they punished the buyer (maybe because of the same zip code ???) for what they accused the seller (me) for and that is as close as they came to punishing me. I would also suggest that if you have a wifi it has the potential for increasing this problem. Someone made a purchase from me that went through my wifi and I was accused by eBid of it being done on my computer. It was NOT done on my computer and the only way I can say I was punished is the buyer was blocked.


I was very embarrassed to tell someone who lived halfway across the country visiting my home about eBid and suggesting they sign up but asking them to be sure to not make a purchase from me while in my home or their account would be blocked. To the best of my knowledge they NEVER joined eBid.


There are a lot of things I like about eBid but their attitude toward buyers is not something I like. Let me decide if I want to make a sale to them or not and if there is a reason I feel is detrimental to eBid I will let them know.

You have just indicated another possible problem with the eBid system... We mostly buy our internet services from our Village admin so our internet comes to us from the same server maybe this upsets the eBid computers?
