Yes it is illegal to bid on your friends item in exchange for his bidding on yours. Bidding for any other purpose other than attempting to win the item, is shilling. Stopping it is an entirely other thing but with ebay being the middle man on much of this stuff, I would think the FBI would get more cooperation than they did with the Mastro case.
