No the consignment seller isn't faking an ebay account. Hes just allowing whoever consigned the item to use their OWN ebay account to put in a bid.

Example- I consign a card to this guy. I want at least $500 for the card so the guy who is selling for me allows me to put in one bid, with my own ebay account, while the auction is running to "protect my investment". If i happen to be the winning bidder he charges me 4% and gives me my card back. If someone else wins i just pay his normal consignment fees.
