I think I found a shill bidder! They shill bidded me a while back but I thought I may have just been suspicious however have a look at the last items they sold. Click on the item number then on bids. Each item has had a bid from "2929mb10" at some point. This was the same user id that outbid me too.
Their id is bumble0_12.
Who wants to join me in reporting them? :j

Looks very suspicious to me. Look at 2929mb10's bidding history. He's bid on 34 items and all but 2 were being sold by bumble0_12. Too much of a coincidence.
I've reported them. Even if it is just coincidence, I don't mind getting eBay to do a bit of investigation for all the £'s I give them!0 -
Do you have the link to report them as I can't find it anywhere?

And how do you find out which items someone has bid on without winning cos I can't find that either. I seem to use the long way of checking every item and the bids on it.

You have to tick the "include completed listings" box and put in bidders ID.
