Shilling is one reason I (personally) will NEVER buy from anyone who takes consignments and sells on eBay.
If you are taking consignments, get yourself an auction house and quit exploiting eBay. That's my personal opinion, it is up for debate, but it is what it is. I tend to spend quite a bit (lately) on my collection but I refuse to buy from an eBay seller that is selling on consignment.

Well, for transparency sake let me be the first to tell you that I do regularly sell consignments that are sent to me to sell on Ebay, though they are probably not items in your field and I don't exactly deal in a high volume.
Ebay, IS an auction platform, and it's a tool meant to be "exploited" as you say.
I'd be curious as to why you hold that stance on the matter?
How is it any different then a seller offering their own stuff, but not consignments? I do think it's important to let your consignors know, that under no circumstances should they bid in their items in your auctions.
