Yes there is. On top right, click on Customer Support In the search, type in "report shill bidder" Then click on link "What is shill bidding?' An explanation comes up with a link to "report it" it makes you log into your account again. Then you get to report. Drop down box - select - Fraudule

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: B7971 Tubes circuit.

Is there a mechanism to report sellers who use shill bidder accounts to drive up the price of their own auctions? This is why I use esnipe for nearly 100% of the things I buy on eBay as not to engage any other birders until the final seconds Sent from my iPad 2 3G On May 24, 2011, at 7:26, Nic

Jeff, Yup, noticed that as well. Also, I even emailed the ebay seller without response. For my purpose, I was not bidding against his shill bidder since he dropped off early on, so I was OK with the purchase. Michail In a message dated 5/24/2011 6:18:25 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time,

Re: [neonixie-l] B7971 Tubes circuit.

Now more curious than ever going to take to work and take pictures to post. The problem is that the octal sockets are empty. So, I don't know what tubes would have been in them. I mis-read the auction as it said they were included (but what was meant was that the sockets were included

[neonixie-l] Re: B7971 Tubes circuit.

One pointer is that they are branded "Ultronic Systems" who made stock information systems, not the tubes themselves. A fair assumption is that this is some part of one of their systems. See the PDF link I posted a few days ago for more on what they did. http://groups.google.com/group/neonixie-l/
