<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 3083971, member: 21705&quot;]All I ask is that the seller honor the incremental bid of all legitimate bidders without&nbsp; raising the price to the max bid which would not have been known without a shill.</p><p><br /></p><p>I often use the max bids when I&#039;m not available at the time of the auction. I don&#039;t mind competing against legitimate bidders, but a shill is essentially providing inside information and the owner is making full use of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is why I followed though with reporting the shill bidding and they are taking the appropriate action.</p><p><br /></p><p>In my case, I was the high bidder among the legitimate bidders. But using the shill made my max bid apparent and the owner wanted my max bid, not my incremental bid over the next highest legitimate bid. That to me is unethical as well as a violation of eBay policy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I will not be dealing with him again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
