If this is so, I am extremely disappointed. I have bought from Greg for years and always thought he was a standup guy.

have no fears...im sure he'll have other ebay names that he'll sell under

I am very disappointed and upset to read the comments this evening suggesting that I am engaging in shill bidding. This is absolutely false. I welcome the opportunity to discuss this issue with anyone who would like to contact me directly. I can be reached at 818.517.1612 or gregmorris818@gmail.com. I have detailed back-up information that I can provide upon request demonstrating that the individual in question is not a shill bidder. It seems inappropriate to post information about a specific individual in this public forum, which is why I request that interested individuals contact me directly so we can speak.

30-Day Summary
Total bids: 3727
Items bid on: 719
Bid activity (%) with this seller: 95% Help
Bid retractions: 25
Bid retractions (6 months): 184
I see the bidder has retracted the bid from the auction in question. I for one would love to hear an explanation for the above bidding pattern if it is not a shill account. Let me also add at this point I am not calling you a shiller. The problem I see is when I pull up your completed auctions and go through bid histories there are several accounts with the same type of bid history as the one shown.
I also understand from PM's from other members this is a new thing in your auctions. If you do not want to answer were everyone can see your explanation please PM me.

I have seen Greg Morris cards consistenly get the highest prices, for no apparent reason. While I have made about 10 purchases over the past few years. Suspicion of shilling has made me either ignore his auctions or bail out quickly the past year.

As a consistent buyer in your auctions, I think that you should post any information HERE. I purchase the majority of my set building from you and I think that the least you can do is post the info on here and not over the phone. Honestly, I hope its not true but time will tell.
I will say that your auctions are accurate, you ship your cards well, and you ship fast. Big bonus

I would agree with an earlier statement that someone made saying Greg has a cult following.

Especially from his consignors

I have never sold anything on ebay, but I have been an active buyer for some time. Over that time I have seen ebay go from a venue that heavily favored sellers to one that completely favors buyers. And I have come to see there are a lot of nutty buyers out there

If you are a big volume seller, I can believe that you might have some fanatically loyal customers. What do you do if you have a guy who regularly buys a lot of stuff from you and bids in a bunch of auction he does not win, and even retracts a lot of bids in those auctions ...and the guy is not a consignor. I guess you could block him since he might be making you look bad, but if he in fact has bought a bunch of stuff from you on an ongoing basis he could then drop a bunch of negatives on you in retaliation, and you lose his ongoing business

I do not know what the actual facts are here, but a lot of folks seem happy with this seller, and it seems like several big volume sellers have generated similar scrutiny on this board and others over time.

Makes me glad I do not sell on ebay . It would likely drive me to homicide

The bidder has been blocked. Here are his responses to me.
