Let me see if I understand what you are saying:
Ten years ago you asked fleabay for permission to do an action which you are
totally against (or do you still allow employee bidding in your auctions?) and
were granted this permission.
This “employee” (really a friend) wins LESS than ONE ITEM A WEEK (one tenth of
one percent as per your statement) and this sets off red flags for fleabay who
then suspends your account?
That is really pretty incredible. How was fleabay able to differentiate
between this person who won less than one item a week and some of your other
friends who bid on and win 5, 10, 15 or more items a week (for example dealers
like Posteritati)?
While all accusations of shill bidding should be checked into (this included
with Heritage), it seems highly unlikely that fleabay decided to suspend your
account based on a single bidder who won less than an item a week as compared
to your legions of followers (several of whom you say only bid on your
auctions) that win many, many times that amount weekly.

More lies. I was suspended from eBay five years ago because an employee of
theirs told me ten years ago that one of my employees could bid on the
auctions, as long as he had a friend do the bidding for him on his account, and
as long as he was really purchasing what he bid on. Four years later a new eBay
employee discovered that account and suspended us.
I explained all that happened to eBay (including the fact that the employee was
an actual collector who bought one tenth of one per cent of what we sold), and
they reinstated us.
Over THREE YEARS later we left eBay and it had everything to do with the 40%
rise in fees and giving buyers the ability to blackmail the sellers, and
NOTHING to do with the incorrect suspension.
Now how do you equate that to a gigantic auction house being exposed for
placing massive number of bids (and for winning around one in 100 of the items
bid on) that resulted in tens of thousands of bidders paying far more than they
would have had the auction never bid?
Crawl back under your rock with your other horror buddies.

It is definitely getting a lot more play than the time Bruce was suspended for
employees bidding in his auction.
That caused Bruce to leave fleabay (so that he couldn't get busted again?), but
Heritage has already done that.
Maybe Heritage needs to start offering free t-shirts to bidders in their
auctions to get back in good graces with their bidders.
