Rich H.I wanted to ask everyone's advice about a couple of auctions that I won recently from this ebay seller.
I noticed very curious bidding activity that appears to be shilling. Please see these links:

and
http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=260134824293
Bidder 7 in the first auction and Bidder 6 in the second appear to be the same person by the feedback profile. 97% of his bids were on the seller's auctions alone.
The seller's ebay handle is: hlg1219. Anyone else deal with this person?
Incidentally, I did receive the George Schoch card fine.
What recourse do I have on the T206 Mullaney card? I understand that I am "under contract" to pay what I bid, but if this is indeed shill bidding, should I have an obligation to pay for this auction as the final value may not reflect true "market" price? Please understand that it is not an issue if I have sufficient funds or not - I just feel a bit "taken."
Any thoughts/advice would be much appreciated.
thanks,
Rich Ha
