shill bidder question and advice? possible suspect?

nicky7200

I was wondering if anyone could tell me what they think of this ebay user
tigger24175 . From the looks of it, them and dolly3380 and shavedwombat, who has in the last few hours changed their name from that to pennydelino,
seems dodgy to me but some of you are more experienced than I am and know more about these things.

Thanks for any help??

Could be kosher, can't see why tigger would mess around with shill bidding on auctions of such small value. Has multliples of small value items, so it's going to be hard to tell. Where as it's easy to tell when somesone is selling used items.

However, it's noticable that "dolly3380", "pennydelino" and "tigger24175" all use "deliv" in their feedback; so I would say that it's likey that "dolly3380", "pennydelino" and "tigger24175" are the same user, but there isn't enough to report them.

most of those auctions pennydelino was the only bidder, and won the item...so its hardly great shill bidding when no-one else is bidding...lol
and the seller would be paying fees etc on all those won items...

maybe the person collects that stuff.

I currently have 1 person who over the past week has bid on around 15-20 of my auctions (small value used clothes). I must admit when she hit 10 I was worried that other people would think there was some shilling going on.
Am new to selling and was getting really paranoid about it, however it is all above board I don't know the bidder and she is outside the UK, so maybe this bidder is genuine too.

Last week I had a guy who bid on 6 of my t-shirts, all the same design but different sizes???? suffice to say he didn't win any.
