Jewelrybyezra was hit with a whopping $400,000 fine earlier this year by New York's Attorney General for alleged shill bidding practices.
Don't be surprised if another huge New York eBay jewelry seller gets taken down soon. A casual scan of the last couple weeks' feedback turned up 20 probable shill bidders...and this was just me spending 15 minutes on it.
No, I won't say their name here, but they are notorious for photographing tiny, tiny pieces misleadingly to make them look big and expensive.
When it happens, remember: You heard it here first.
