I'm just looking at the bids on an auction I'm bidding on.

 

Does it seem that there may be some shill bidding is going on?

Most likely yes, but it could be something legit like they are having a clear out of mini bits and the bidder has gone for a few.

Check ended auctions n see if that person as bid on other items. If they won an item n it was relisted then its defo shill bidding

And always worth reporting to ebay as if they are dodgy then a message from ebay may be enough to put the wind up. I bet the level of shill bidding on eBay is horrendous.

This bidder won it, so I suppose if it doesn't re-appear it was genuine
