eBay is not acting like a shill bidder.
1) The auction is over and you did not win it.
2) You are now being given a chance to buy it through a Buy-It-Now. You can choose whether or not to accept this price.
3) You also have the ability to message the seller and recommend a lower price. The seller can agree to that and relist the item for BIN/BO at above the auction price and you can click the Best Offer and send it to seller. Or the seller can sell it to you off-site and forego eBay fees at all.
4) So no, eBay is not acting like a shill bidder. The first auction has completed, and you're now in the process of buying a card with a price, and the ability to negotiate.
