I think I may have a problem with an ebay seller. I an watching two items, and I noticed a LOT of bids on each item. When I looked at the bids, more than half are from two bidders, and most bids are $5. Checking back, these two bidders have bid on nearly every item from this seller over $100. The is no pattern to the bidders - they bid on cards, baseballs, basketballs, jerseys, etc. Each bidder's feedback is under 100; one bidder has 88% of all his bids with this one seller, the other has 100%. Coincidence or shilling?

If they're bidding on all types of items from a single seller, it's shill bidding. Report it to eBay.
