shill bidding?
Here's a dark thought for you. The guy with 0 feedback might be a shill bidder for some other Ebay seller. He might have the twisted logic that throwing in a few bids on other sellers' auctions might hide that he is mainly a shill bidder for one particular seller. Not you, of course, but the buyer seeing that bidding pattern might make him nervous about getting shilled and overpaying. Panic over $10 is comical, though.
