    OK, if ebay don't have enough evidence, look at this, I think we all know the truth.

    t***r has bid on another sellers Hot Tubs and b***b has also bid on the same Hot tubs, ok so if he isn't shill bidding then he has two buyers who have the same minds. LOL

    Edit: Just looked again, might not be the same sellers Hot Tubs, but still funny how they want the same items as each other. Ebay, get your finger out!
  • Well we will be seeing that set relisted again soon, either that or he was doing it to gain feedback from his other accounts lol.

    Looks like he's bought himself 2 patio sets.
    Maybe that's better than it being removed

    I do love shill bidders who end up with their own stuff, it almost makes it worthwhile leaving them alone. TSFE obviously, daft seller.

    The same buyer now has a 4 man tent and it looks like they also are going to get a princess swimming pool.

    Yep the wally also has the princess pool. Maybe when he gets his invoice for fees he'll realise that trying to outdo an auction system is pretty stupid.
    I hope the guy has a large garden

    Looks as if the seller is getting the message. Just one item now with possible Shill bids.
    Ebay do however need to pick up the point that they are clearly business sellers
