The current highest bidder has over 30 current bids for lots of items in the same area (although not with this seller, but could just be a new account/alias)
The current bids list for them just seem odd, like they are putting an initial bid on all their listings.
Now bidders names are hidden, its not possible to see what they have won in the past, where they are based etc.
Am I just being paranoid?
