The only thing I would like to see is a way of booting
sellers using shills.
Every auction since some ancient Greek wanted the enhance the price of
his sheep has had shills. Ebay does kick shills off when they catch
them - they just do not advertise an account cancellation as "Caught
Shilling". "Administrative Cancellation" sounds more sterile but safe
for business.
And as well seasoned veteran, my observation is that the whole shill
concern is quite overblown. It is just not nearly as common as some
would like to believe. It is easy to blame a shill than to come to
grips that lots of others with deep pockets like this stuff as well.
