OT: Need some help with this one---Shill?
I'm not too familiar with the whole shill bidding thing, but this seems a little fishy to me, especially after looking at the high bidder's bidding history.
Thoughts? Advice?

RE: OT: Need some help with this one---Shill?
To me it seems like the high bidder is just a little too enthusiastic. The seller's other auctions don't appear to be shilled. I think another fellow wisconsin fan saw this when it came up and set a high bid. That being said, if the same person were to bid again and he's the current high offer, then it might be cause for alarm.

My concern is the high bidder has bid 40-some times EVER and they are 100% with this seller

16 different items, 44 bids, 100% bid activity with the seller = Shill

I tend to agree with this logic. Just too hard to believe this guy would bid on items only from this 1 seller and no one else.

It is a shill bidder. I just reported one last month with the same exact thing, 100% bids on one seller, he is bidding up his own stuff. My advice is to call ebay and report it, and they will cancel the item and possible the seller's account as well
