I think a way to determine if there is anything going on in auctions that is suspect is to look at the bidding history for the seller's higher priced cards. If you find that a number of the bidders have, say: a) made 50-100% of all their bids in the past 30 days just on auctions from that seller or b) have made just 1 bid in the past 30 days and it just happens to be on one of the seller's cards then you can assume that the seller is shilling and you should probably stay far away.

Of course, I am not specifically referring to this seller's cards.

Of course, I would suggest you check for yourself.
