While it's after-the-fact, it does protect you automatically from ever having to deal with fraudsters and shill bidders again. Some eBay groups even "share" the ID's of bidders who've caused problems, allowing the community at large to "police itself." While this method may seem draconian, I still believe that the group has more collective muscle to flex than eBay's Trust & Safety team, and it's up to that group to fight those members who impinge on the market's legitimacy. ... man, talk about melodramatic, Trevor!...

This will give you the chance to look into potential members before they can bid on your item. Neither are perfect, but "every little helps" Mark As a seller, one way to cut down on fraud attempts is to either use immediate payment required, if your using a Buy It Now format, or impose a pre-approved bidders list on your listing.

I do think that with eBay now as more of a established business, that the shine has gone off it and people are paying more attention to its faults. So perhaps there is not more fraud, but people are just talking about it more Not really I am afraid, I think that I was feeling melodramatic at the time.
