Item 170008513709. And I think that Wenzler2302 is the shill.
I've reported it straightaway but haven't paid as yet , I'm going to pay by Sunday Night/Monday morning as you usually have 3 daysto do so but don't want to if he gets 'NARU'ed'.
Really annoyed with myself really as I was watching this one for a while. Just put my maximum in at the last minute-ish. On the other hand though, I did get the item at well below market price. Guess it's annoying when I could have paid jusdt over a tenner and instaead spent nearly £15. Plus the fact that it's a bit blatant, really.

Yes you probably have. Send him a polite email saying that you believe he has been shill bidding. If he says no or doesn't answer, report him.Briar_Rose wrote:http://www.auctionpix.co.uk/shill/170008513709.html

Along the lines of, 'A seller who uses another userID to inflate the price of the goods they are selling.' Normally see them because the are bidders with very little feedback and yet have places bids on many of the sellers other items.
