Was I Shilled??

I agree with the shill bidding and the fact that it was a nice pick-up for the price anyway.

I don't buy into hidden reserves. You have an option to put a reserve on your item. If you don't, then you're agreeing to accept whatever the item sells for at auction.

Looks like a shill to me. A guy with 0 feedback bids on 19 different items in the last week, all from the same seller. Doesn't he want to buy from anybody else on ebay? I think you have reason to report this to ebay.

If it's reported to ebay, and they determine it's shilling, does anyone know what happens?

Does the buyer get to purchase the item at a lower price or do they just get to choose whether they still want to purchase the item or not?

Does the seller lose their seller account or just get some sort of "strike" against them?
