    Yes, he's shilling against somebody's throwaway account :) If eBay's refusal to ban him (for new readers, we've been trying for months) weren't so tragic it would be laughable.
    Can I help?

    I'd report it... but I can't see it :( Wretched ebay and their shill-hiding 'privacy' measures!
    My TV is broken! :cry:

    Not fully up to speed on this one... what have you tried reporting him for so far?

    Fraud
    Shill bidding
    Being under age
    Copying photos from other listings

    ...and he's still going!
    Can I help?

    Well... it's been pulled.

    Funny, I wonder if ebay take fee avoidance more seriously than shilling? Shurely not?!

    I just looked on my ebay, and it showed the one about to finish, and ANOTHER one that's just been listed!!! However, both have been pulled when you go into them.

    Maybe ebay HAVE taken some notice, at last?

    Item has been removed as it violates eBay listins. All together now... Aaaahhhhhhh
