For anyone wanting updates; The person has admitted in an IG story to what they did. They also claim that the second account has their middle-mans info as they use it to make purchases that are meant to go to the middle-man. They say that the middleman whos info they use on their second account has nothing to do with this and that they ( the person consigning ) takes full responsibility.

James could have turned a blind eye like many other auction platforms and consigners have done and pocketed a fat commission. But integrity is priceless and James has that in spades. Thank you for what you do for the Pokemon community.

Never trust anyone who just shows the same items again and again on Insta for cheap clout. They ain't a real collector. They were when they started but after a while it becomes a grift nothing else to them. They act rich but can't be that wealthy if they have enough time to shill bid every auction of cards they own. It's just low level behaviour by an individual who luckily just got in earlier than most to this TCG.

Ive just bought from you out of your consignments lining up with what I am interested in. Some actually sane prices too. Didn't know you uploaded videos. I came here from the opossum bud video. Its really good to know I have coincidentally bought from you. If I were in the need of a service like yours in the future, I'd consider you front of the line! You did everything right. I think right now there is just a lot of price manipulation all over the place. So it is good to see you are fighting against people shill bidding not just because its right and good, but it benefits me too! Now nobody can point at these shilled sales as a market price. Letting it go takes 0 effort and gets you money. But doing what is right took all this investigation, time and effort. And then to just give away the compensation you get from the deal is to really seal the deal that it is the principle of the thing that matters! Well done. This was also a pretty wild ride too when he was committing identity theft...thats a BIG deal, and I hope that person seeks a lawyer's opinion on if this level of ID fraud is actionable. Anyhow, woohoo! You got a new fan.

To be honest m8 it's not about shill bidding it's about false inflation of cards it will now show as cards being really expensive when they are not as expensive as they are being portrayed as. It doesn't matter whether you bad mouth the guy he is sitting pretty on cards that are inflated in price because of his dodgy dealings, he can now liat on ebay when ever he likes in who ever he wants to list under with cards double or treble the price 😮 it's a disgrace and it's been going on for years hence why I got out of collecting pokemon cards. It all started when people started grading them and the cards were being inflated to stupid amounts so dealers started buying up all the mint cards cheap and grading them then list them at ridiculous prices. Now we are seeing shilling on a scale not seen before and yet the ungraded card price is still low
@LordAR27
6 ай бұрын
Stopping a shill bidder is always great! But it also begs to ask do you do that for every auction that happens on ur account? Or just focus on the big ones? Because even less valued cards get shill bid. And if you dont catch those aswell thats basically just being salty towards someone with high value cards. 😂
@kamb8s
6 ай бұрын
At scale, you cannot stop every shill bid that happens, realistically. We do our due diligence, but higher priced cards naturally have more of an effect on the market and on the people in the market. It’s not being salty because someone has an expensive card, it’s protecting future buyers of that card. If we got a message from someone asking if a $20 card was being shilled we would have looked into it the same exact way.
