    Why would he do you that favour?

    Besides, your other bidders might not have been too chuffed if you'd allowed his bids to stand - that's the kind of bidding pattern that makes an innocent seller look like a shill-bidder.

    I know. Thats why it seems wierd. I still dont get the shield bidding.

    I did wonder if maybe the new user was maybe a 2nd ID of Bob and that he would then accuse me later of shill bidding? Far out, I know. I'm getting caught up in conspiracy theories now!
