What I've discovered as a San Francisco CA resident is that in a land
where taxes can never be raised, they "fee" you from your first breath
of the morning to your last gasp of the night! It's ain't pretty out
here!

I think this is exactly what California needs to solve its fiscal
crisis: Adopt Ebay polices for the whole state. Charge everyone a 30-
cent "residence fee" every time they wake up each morning. Unless
they want to express reservations about getting out of bed, in which
case they have to pay extra for that. And the fees are non-
refundable whether you "have a good day" or not.
Problem solved.

You really are a complete donkey! Did it take you an entire day to

"fleabay" and there are only two people on this forum who do that,

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.
