I do not believe any shill bidding was going on. That said, I still think Greg made the right decision to block the bidder. His bidding behavior (25 times in one auction) along with his 179 bid retractions just doesn't look good, good customer or not. It was the right thing to do.
It's kind of like if you owned a brick and mortar store and you had one customer (even a good customer) that always had really bad body odor and the other customers complained because of the smell. Do you get rid of the "problem" customer to appease the other customers even though the "problem" customer really hasn't done anything wrong? I would. It may be a silly example, but my point is sometimes you have to get rid of one customer to keep the rest of your customers happy.
Greg made the right decision in getting rid of a "problem" customer even if he really wasn't doing anything technically wrong, so as to not make the situation look bad to his other customers. Right move IMO.
