It's probably too late now and you are going to get the 'please send to my son who is a missionary in Africa' scam email.
Try and remove their bids, if they were placed in the last hour it is still possible. If it does sell to a scammer though come back for more advice about reclaiming your FVFs and also how to set your seller preferences to stop it happening again.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

Is he pushing the price up with 3 accounts?
This is done to discourage others bidders then he will cancel his high bids making himself the winner with the 3rd account he bid very little with.*_*_* Department of Redundancy Department *_*_*0 -

It would have to include a proxy service as eBay will easily see the bids come from the same IP address... already thought about that..;)*_*_* Department of Redundancy Department *_*_*0 -
