Shill bidding the bad way

[industry_standard]

Saw this a couple of months ago and thought the 30 feedback bidder was bidding up the bike



I checked out the bidding on his other Cannondale which is now live


And found out that his friend with 30 feedback is bidding up his items for him (has also won three of them)


Surely if you are going to shill bid you'd at least try and hide it but doing random bids on other items?!?!

:facepalm:

I reported one a while back who would advertise about 5-10 bikes a week starting at 99p.
If by near close of auction they were only at a couple of quid the same account would
bid all of them up to £20+ and win.
10 mins after the end of auction they would ALL be re-advertised due to 'timewaster'.
Some of the bikes were for sale for weeks.

He doesn't sell on that account any more lol
