Has anyone investigated how this protection works? That is, deliberately create an eBay account, log into eBay using a remote tool, and trigger the fraud detection? My curiosity is piqued, but I don't have an account to offer up.
I'm wondering if eBay displays a fraud warning, or pretends to allow the transaction to occur (shadow bidding?), or just hellbans the account being used.
For shill-bidding farms, the obvious counter is to move remote screen access to non-standard ports, or move to headless browser operation via other scripting methods.

And the anti-fraud/anti-spam system is probably a machine learning black box. It will learn if this data-point is actually correlated with naughty behaviour, and what other factors are usually correlated.
