    Would think that they would put in a few 0.99 bids on items that they would lose to spread the bid history rather than go all in on this. Great poster though!

    I got the second chance offer from them of course at my highest bid. I asked to reduce the price to my winning bid over the 3rd bidder ($61.50EUR + shipping) but of course they declined that. The difference in price is only about $11AUD but on principle I reported another auction of theirs and refused their offer.

    Does the seller find out who or what auctions they get dobbed in on? If they do, considering I refused their second chance offer I guess they will assume it was me.

    Not necessarily... and even if they did know it was you, and they block you from their auctions in future, would you really want to do business with them again if they shill bid AND block you because you don't fall for the scam.
    You could send that link to the seller, showing that the other person is a shill bidder by only ever bidding on his items, and ask him if he still wants to decline your counter-offer.
