Shill bidder Scammer.

insight101

This so looks like a shill bidding

seller changed id from on 11 may 2006

highest bidder changed id from on 10 may 2006

seller's history is private so you can't see there selling history.

last item sold by gas_supplier was to ajheseltine will be relisted by gas_supplier shortly.

they both live in South Yorkshire, United Kingdom

Looks like they were bumping the price

If you bid the sensible way: Determine the maximum price you are willing to pay and snipe in the closing seconds, shill bidding should not concern you in the slightest.

It's merely a rather stupid way for a seller to set a sort of starting price.

If on the othe hand you are one of those people who determines how much an item is worth by what others have bid for it, I suppose you may have a problem. And the shill bidders may make it worse.

looking at the dates involved i would expect the "buyer" to have received feedback by now (still only at 6).

also why bid on the same item after you have won one a couple of days previous????
