ok Lawyers- Is shill bidding illegal?

Posted By: Matt

Shill bidding was included in the definition of criminal fraud in the 2006 Fraud Act.
http://www.addleshawgoddard.com/www/view.asp?content_id=2448&parent_id=2439

Specifically:
"The Fraud Act could be used to criminalise(sic) conduct which may previously only have amounted to a breach of contract or other civil law or moral obligation. Examples may include:
(SNIP)
'Shill bidding' on online auction sites. This is where sellers bid up the price of their own items using a second identity."
