Against shill bidding, they can fall back on their Rule #21; what they may be doing is legal in their state of registration, and spelled out in their user agreement.

Everyone who bids in a Heritage Auction or creates an account, agrees to these terms. Are they ethical? Many would say no. But that obviously hasn't hurt them so far.
