30-Day Summary
Total bids:
264
Items bid on:
207
Bid activity (%) with this seller:
88% 

Bids to unique sellers:
18 

Bids in unique categories:
75 
Only beacuse to bid on 207 seperate items which are 88% with the same seller seems quite a lot?
I was just wondering

Well, unless the seller is selling 180 items that the person might be interested in, which is highly doubtful - i think that is quite suspicious.0

If it is someone involved in shill bidding it's odd beacuse they're bidding on a company - one of those ones which sells your stuff on ebay for you if you can't be bothered to list it yourself. Surely this is risky for the company too if they're getting someone to do this?0

A suspicious bid is any that beats mine.

Seriously though, what does the seller sell? If they sell collectables, then it's quite possible that a buyer might use them frequently. If not, I'd say it looks dodgy.If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.0
