Shill bidding???

I was looking to buy a couple of items from a certain seller but was outbid on them. I now see that this seller is selling the same items along with some more of the items they sold (to the same 'buyer'!).
It's not just a few items, this 'buyer/bidder' appears to be bumping up the prices of most of this sellers lots...
This is the seller... http://shop.ebay.co.uk/stevem25uk/m.html & the bidder is jdiplacidi (46*)
Check out his completed listings & let me know what you think!!!
Edit....
This is the stats of the 'bidder/buyer'...

it can all be found using an advanced search on ebay. You can also use Goofbay although that isn't currently showing all the information.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.

Well it appears that the shill bidders ID no longer exists so maybe Ebay actually do listen to members complaints or maybe the seller has just deleted it...........What if the Hokey Pokey really is what it's all about !!!0
