You really are a complete donkey! Did it take you an entire day
to put this response together? It's funny that you call eBay
"fleabay" and there are only two people on this forum who do
that, and one is a friend of mine, and the other is insanely
jealous of me. I wonder which one of them helped you write your
reply?
Maybe you could focus more on your buddies who are currently in
the news, and have openly admitted to bidding on lots of their
own items (and it has not been made clear whether they bid on
items they themselves own, but I imagine that will come out in
the discovery process. Yet you are not interested in those events
at all, and you are obsessed with events of five to ten years ago.
Please crawl back under your rock. I would continue the
discussion with you, but it feels like I am having a battle of
wits with an unarmed man.

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.
