I was interested in an item from markey75 but looking closer a name seems to pop up too often for my liking michellesomer... Looks pretty watertight to me, watya think!!!

I am only a beginner at sussing this type of stuff out....BUT if you look into mchellesomers bidding...then is are alot of this type of stuff!

I will leave this to others to have thier say.

Both users live in Tyrone, but as far as I could see neither have bidded on each others items, unless the auction(s) you're referring to have ended.

It looks like michellesomer won 2 identicals lots of Nintendo DS and a PS2, I think the two Ninetendo DS's look a bit suspicious.

However the whole point of shill bidding is not to win, so he isn't doing very well if he is a shill bidder!

The only other thing that stands out to me is the similarity of the name of another bidder michellehall76 (the first part of thename is the same) although that might just be a co incidence.

However, my own recent sales history looks suspicious to a casual look, I have had one buyer buy up most of my items in the past few weeks but it was totally genuine.ALso as a buyer I bid regularly on items from three sellers, dozens and dozens of bids and win about 1 in 8 of the items.

If however you have any doubt in this case report it to ebay as they can check any link between the buyer and seller concerned.
