    It does look a little suspicious in that curl1968 has bid on a great number of igho1966 items, from TVs to shoes. He hasn't won anything yet though, the two pairs of shoes you mention are both still active auctions.

    I think the similarity in the user names (name and date) is a bit of a clue as well.

    Certainly worth reporting I would think.

    Soo

    Umm... how do you check what items an ebayer has previously bid on?
