Ebay shill bidding??

Attached is an excellent example of likely shill bidding. Notice how on two similar items the high bidder is also an active bidder on the other item.

n***2(1) and 3***d(32) appear to be the seller's shill accounts. Notice how the price goes from $250 to $1460 once these to start to bid on the silver bike.

3***d is also the high bidder against what appears to be a legit buyer on the black bike.

Was bidding on some bikes for the shop. Every bid above mine was a zero feedback bidder pushing the price some £650 above what they should have gone for. I am betting on an email from the seller with a second chance offer...

Aha that explains your username! Escort? Cortina? More likely a FWD Fiesta? Come on tell us...! Show us a pic... :D

Good idea. Create a new account. When bidding from your normal account and coming across a shill bidder, bring your new account into play and bid up the greedy shill bidder to crazy heights, then retract your bid at the last minute so the seller wins his own item at an inflated price! Your normal account remains untouched with 100% record. Not that i've got time for such nonsense... unfortunately. :twisted:
