[QUOTE="buyingsilvers, post: 1510884, member: 18821"]^ He could. Normally if a bidder bids on multiple items of the same seller, that would indicate a shill account because he's pumping up various items of that seller. But if the history shows only bidding on a single item that the seller has (in this case), then chances are smaller that it is a shill bidder. Of course, you can always get a friend to bid with their account, which wouldn't show as suspicious. Shill bidding is a double edged sword because if you bid the item too high with the shill account, legit buyers won't overbid you, and you'd end up winning (and having to pay ebay fees). Afterwards, you'd have to cancel the transaction to get refunded on the fees. But if you do that a couple times between 2 accounts, ebay gets suspicious and suspends both accounts.[/QUOTE]
