If there is major evidence of shill bidding, I assume he will be permanently suspended. It really is too bad, because he was an ebay seller with quality and my brief dealings with him in the past went fine.

It is my understanding that if he has committed shill bidding, then he can join a long list of auction houses, big and small, that practice that all the time .

I don't really know if there are any authorities that would be interested if you approach them. If ebay says they are conducting an investigation, I would tend to think they are.

If I remember correctly, there was a major prosecution in the past, relating to shill bidding.
