Interesting - just accused of shill bidding

Hello all,

I just received an odd email from one of the losing bidders in one my auctions accusing me of shill bidding and stating he will report me to Ebay, etc. As I never have engaged in shill bidding, I am certain my account will remain in good standing. I don't know yet if I want to bother replying to the guy, or just ignore him. First time this happened to me!

    @Bjorn When I know I haven't done anything wrong, I pause and let it go. There are those who act in ways to suck a person into false drama because misery loves company. Have a good day. Peace Roy

    My first thought was "ignore and block", but upon further reflection I would likely engage them in one polite message.

    Something along the lines of "I'm sorry you believe you were a victim of shill bidding. Please feel free to contact ebay and ask them to investigate the situation. This will be my only message on this matter. Thank you for your time and have a good day".

    Would not respond and just move on. Don’t give anyone ammo.
