    ok, may be off the point, but when i need something i try to buy from sellers i have already bought from and will bid my highest until i can go no higher

    would people see that as shill bidding too?

    Yes I do that too but these bidders are not really bidding on any other sellers items.

    I have made many repeat purchases and hope they don't get seen as dodgy but there are other things like similar feedback,same locations etc.

    As a previous poster said Disney passes expiring on 23/12 have a limited market,highly unlikely that two of your previous buyers would end up ina bidding war.

    If the OP can come and explain then we will listen.

    To find a members location go to advanced search then click items by seller also tick the box 'show close matches' the location is shown next to the user ID.

    When I went to Disney last year we had to have a finger scan with our tickets. I thought this was to prevent the resale of partially used tickets?

    Thats not shill bidding, some items I buy I always go to the set of fav sellers 1st.

    Its basically setting uo 3 or 4 accounts in different names and buying or bidding on your own goods to get the seller up.

    At the mo the wii are like god dust, so a a shil bidder, sell on name 1, then when someone bids, I then use id 2 and bid them out, so they go further then maybe I'll introduce id 3 just to add fun to the proceedings.
