Shill bidding ??

[jeronim0151]

A member has two separate but similar lots for sale which after last minute bidding both are won by  the same person, less than 12 hours later both lots on on sale again by original seller at inflated prices.     Is this Dodgy

Possibly Dodgy but the object of Shill Bidding is to make a genuine buyer pay more than they want to by forcing up the price. 

Listing at a higher price is what they should have done in the first place, but if the first sales were not genuine, and did not reach a price they were happy with why should they be any more successful this time.

Ending up buying your own items is not a very clever practice and could be picked up by Ebay, leading to suspension .
