I agree with Ken here. I have been buying and selling on e-bay for 8 years or so and just this month I 'sold' a pair of ticket to a Van Halen concert.

Before the auction was even over the high bidder accused me of using shill bidding. The 1st time I have ever been accused of that. I was not amused.

There was a zero feedback bidder that had bid several times. I had no idea who the zero bidder was and no control over him hijacking the auction.

The high bidder ended up bidding enough to win, but then he got very nasty and refused to pay me.

The point is, let us be careful when we out auctions or accuse a seller of shill bidding... Maybe raise a red flag but we are all responsible for our own bids. Sometimes the seller is just a victim by some knucklehead.
