subzero said:So, just got off of live chat with ebay, got put through to the right dept. who deals with shill bidders, they've looked into these accounts and have agreed with me that the username bidding is indeed the bethanstron_3 account, they wanted to know how I knew what the username was so I told them briefly how I connected the dots to know it was him.
They are now fully looking into this and said they will take action asap within the next 24hrs.
subzero said:There's been another ebay account iv'e spotted lately with zero feedback that's also been bidding a lot on this guy's listings, I suspected it was possibly him and I was bloody right, he's just started listing in it, so be aware people of this account not to bid on anything he lists as you'll be the victim of shill bidding...

No probs!
Well put it this way if ebay don't remove his other accounts that iv'e reported then i'm not gonna waste my time bothering any more.
From what iv'e already told ebay they should be seeing any other accounts he has linked anyway.

Iv'e seen him do that quite often, he probably changes his mind just in case he wins the auction himself, and then rebids with a lower bid.

oh, I did not know you could cancel a bid, I only thought you could cancel a deal after you won :shock: but thanks for the warning about his new account :wink:

Yeah bid retractions has been a feature for years now, a seller can also retract a bidders bid too if they don't want them bidding.
No probs, i'm always happy to warn collectors.

Ebay can be a complete joke when they want to be, what makes me angry is if a decent person slightly steps out of line by mistake then they get immediately punished.
A vintage Star Wars auction site would be amazing! :shock:

This guy has had his newest account shut down now too, I seen him list 4 items yesterday and ebay removed them all, iv'e just looked at the account and it's now "no longer registered"...
https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/jametomli-4?_trksid=p2047675.l2559
So after all the reporting for shill bidding ebay have finally acted on it, but I think iv'e spotted the worm appear again already in another account right after his listings got removed, probably a friend or relatives account. The spelling in the description and pretending they know nothing about the weapon reeks of tomli6, and the 'item location' is only a few miles away from where tomli6 is, so make sure not to bid on any items from this account, i'll also be contacting ebay to let them know he's using this account...

Thanks guys to all of you who helped report his other listings. 8)

That is great news that he is out of ebay. I hope not that it is correct that he is back on a family or friends account :? great work :wink:

edd_jedi said:Good job. Looking through the new sellers feedback they have bought Star Wars stuff over quite a long period, so more likely to be another of his accounts or a collector friend.

stu70 said:The username jogon555 rang a bell with me, I sold him a figure well over a year ago, he also bid on another one I had for sale and he sent me a couple of messages that were a bit hard to understand shall we say, but he paid promptly and I had no problem with him as a buyer. As it's been said he has been buying and selling Star Wars for a long time.
I also remember his listings then had poor spelling and punctuation, he also sold some "custom" figures, as he has listed now, I remember the creme egg R2D2, and found this old thread from over a year ago,

Deep intake of breath before you read the description of the figure, also he seems to live in Alton in Hampshire not Derbyshire, so can it be the same guy?

Aahh right I didn't know there was two Alton's :? so there's a small chance it's not him then, strange thing is ebay looked into it and agreed with me on chat earlier and said they will take action. The poor spelling and style of the descriptions are all spot on the same, but time will tell anyway.
Can't view that ebay listing unfortunately as it's not available to view any more, tomli6 was always selling crappy custom figures too.
