All of these auction were just canceled by eBay because I was accused of "shill bidding." I want to offer an explanation.
My mom has an account called "tinyshinytreasures." She had listed an item, a glass paperweight. Some guy who was brand new to ebay bid on it, and before it closed, emailed in a panic that he needed to cancel his bid. He couldn't figure out how to do it, and neither could my mom. She decided she would use my account and outbid him on the item and it would be done.
Well, she bid up to $50 and the guy still had the bid. The auction closed. She told the guy he didn't have to pay for the auction. She told the guy she would sell him the paperweight as his last highest cost before she used my account. The guy said don't worry, he was delighted it only went for $50, because he'd bid TWELVE HUNDRED DOLLARS on it, and that it was worth WAY more than $50. He didn't want a refund or a lower price.
So now, like two weeks later, eBay canceled all of my auctions and all of her auctions, AND kept the listing fees.
So I can't relist these for two weeks. If anyone wants them, contact me, and I don't care if I ever use eBay again. I am forwarding this post to the people at eBay, and hope that they understand if their tools were easier to use, this wouldn't have happened.
