This little on-line tool assists in spotting shill bidding in eBay auctions and whilst it can not replace your own detective work it does speed up the process and provide warnings and advise so simple type the eBay item number into the box and press search to see instant results in about twenty seconds.
eBays preposterous claim that they decided to remove members names from the bidding page is a lame excuse for taking no actions against members biding items up as this unethical practice also keeps eBay profits up to a certain extend and certainly stopped many public spirited web sites pointing out the obvious fraud and if you happen to live in the UK then the situation is even worse as the names of bidders only appear as Bidder1, Bidder2 whereas the rest of the world gains a bit more protection after wide spread protests that forced eBay to alias names in the form of A***B, C***D but I must warn that these names are changed about every three months or so without any explanation from eBay.
Protecting scammers at your cost by hiding information is an insult to your intelligence and you should voice your concerns to eBay and take the appropriate actions if you are not satisfied with the automated response your receive to your complaint.

Please note that we have to limit the amount of use this page gets because eBay, in it’s effort to obstruct bidding investigations restrict the amount of pages it allows a single user to view from the bid history pages and puts paid to the claim that Ebay is doing all it possible can to stamp out this practice and you can find plenty of
well documented cases around the internet to support this claim.
