Ebay sellers with possible shill bids
We had a recent case of this in the ebay thread so thought perhaps we could spin this out so people can post cases of sellers who may have employed shill bids to drive up the costs so we can be mindful when seeing these sellers.
Been watching a seller called "adelaiderobot" who had some interesting items up for sale recently. There was a KFC citizen stack, unique toys warlord and kids logic optimus. All these were won by a bidder called e***1. Now this person has 0 feedback and looking at adelaiderobot's feedback, this e***1 has been bidding on auctions since mid February this year (can't see feedback beyond this). Now the final prices of those auctions were not over the top but you can see quite a large jump in bid when e***1 is involved. Not 100% certain that this is a shill bidder but if you consider that this person with 0 feedback is able to drop over $500 + postage on 3 transformers within a day or so, they would have won an auction or two since early this year...
