Tonight I discovered a shillbidder. for those who dont know what a shillbidder is, its someone who uses another ebay user to boost the prices of his auctions. and I found one. and he did it a lot -and once to me! more disturbing is that I know him and never would have thought he would pull this shit. And he is a member of this forum as well... maybe he will see himself... maybe he wont. I'm not gonna out him yet. but he's got some "splainin to do".

If its happened repeatedly, report it to ebay. They can track the patterns. I've reported people more than once. Ebay won't tell you what they do as a result of the report, but sometimes certain user IDs just disappear.
