A shill-bid pattern was flagged on my lot
Review the audit log, then approve or ban.
Gavel watches for patterns that look like a seller bidding up their own lot: rapid alternating bids, new accounts with no history, mismatched IPs.
1
Dashboard → Trust → Flagged bids. Find the lot and click into it.
2
Review the audit log. Look at the bidder, their account age, and the timing pattern.
3
If the bids are genuine, click Mark reviewed. The flag clears and the lot continues normally.
4
If the pattern is real shill behaviour, click Ban bidder. They lose access to every room you host and the bid is voided.
A flag does not pause the lot or invalidate the bid automatically. Hammer still hammers. Review and act before the lot closes if possible.
