Default What do you do if you are shilled but the price is still fair?

If you snipe, you won't be shilled

I guess it depends on your definition of "shilled."

Say that I'm selling a card on eBay that I think should bring at least $500, and with 2 hours to go it's sitting at $100. So I ask my friend to place a bid of $490. That takes the high bid to $105 and is the last bid until Steve comes in with a snipe of $500 with 5 seconds remaining and wins the card for $495.

By my definition, Steve got shilled.
