Default OLYMPUSAMERICA "0" FEEDBACK Bidders

Who police's ebay vendors who have "0" feedback bidders running up the
prices? Here is a case in point, this site seems to have this
abnormanity on the expensive cameras that look like they might sell
for a too low a price. Case in point:

if the buyers are affiliated in any way with the seller account, it is
bid-shilling and against ebays rules. otherwise: there are always newbies
that don't get the simple rules of auctions - more on that at
alt.marketing.online.ebay - ask for don, i am sure he will want to give you
his opinion on that ;-)

Since time began and auctions were derived, people have sought to
manipulate them to force bidders to pay as much as they can for as
little as they get. Shrill bidding or not, it will go on, and on, and on
until one day people will realize Ebay is a crooks paradise.

How stupid is it to expect Ebay to deny access to their customers? If
they banned every crooked seller and every crooked bidder (oh yes
bidders are not excused either) they' end up with no business. Now how
silly is that? To expect the crooks to police the crooks!

* should this be against ebay rules WHO is inforcing these rules?
Check out a legitimate vendor like AUCTIONDROP and it is rare to see a
"0" feedback bidder how is it that I have seen as many as 6 or 8 per
camera on this OLYMPUSAMERICA sight? Strange things indeed!
