I would also have to assume eBay's move was with the FBI's "nudging" too. Highly doubt eBay was just now able to identify shill bidding with PWCC--whether it as by consignors, employees or both.

And could very well be a contributing factor as well, with Ebay being proactive in their actions towards PWCC to protect their customers/buyers as well as themselves. Look how proactive Ebay was in regards to state sales taxes.

Didn't specifically address your point about "nudging" before, but can definitely see (and know) that can happen. Would have thought the government could have just gone in and got any records and data they would need, but maybe they didn't have enough to get a judge to sign off on a search warrant?

Oh yea, PWCC said "we dont need Ebay anymore".
But what about the millions of dollars in PWCC 'Ebay sales' you're quoting? Keep trying, you're not changing the PWCC sentiment here on N54. Just devil's advocate here with a lot of time on his hands

This is pretty well documented though. I don't think anyone is contesting that PWCC was already planning to leave eBay and create their own platform prior to the email blast.
That's perfectly fine with me. I'm under no illusions that I'll change anyone's mind about PWCC. I'm not sure that I even care to. I just want to challenge people to think critically and to not draw conclusions based on assumptions. |

To me, "individuals associated with PWCC" does NOT plausibly mean people in an arms' length relationship such as consignors. And I don't think that was the intent. I think they meant a closer relationship than that. No inside knowledge, just my reading of the language.

Again, herein lies the problem. "NOT plausible"? This is precisely the kind of reasoning that leads to false conclusions. Of course, it's plausible. That's a completely ridiculous claim to say it's not even plausible.

Do you mean the "marketplace"?
All the information I had seen had "buy it now" without mention of auctions

No, supposedly that's separate. I read that they are actually launching an auction platform in addition to the marketplace for their lower tier consignments. I'm just not sure what the format looks like or when exactly it will launch. I think I read October, or maybe November?
