Do you use same seller for lots of purchases?

I am about to go to dispute for a NPB and looked at their account. I saw the same seller there for lot of items so looked a bit further and most of their bidding is to that seller. (say about 90%). Lots of items and very varied

Surely this is not typical, or is it? Do people find a seller and stick with them for what ever they need?

As you are mainly sellers here, do have a customer that bids no matter what you sell?

    depends how many items it is and the frequency and price of them. As a power seller myself we get lots repeat customers due the quality of our goods compared to other ebay sellers. So it may or may not be shill bidding.

    Most of my regulars buy direct from my website, rather than through eBay - I can offer better prices due to the reduced fees.

    Likewise, there are a couple of sellers that i buy from regularly, but always off-ebay. They have proven their worth in early transactions, so I can get better prices without ebay taking their share again.
