Shill bidding on Ebay...

I hope it's not someone on here who was selling the rear Koni dampers for a ph1 Renault 19 16v cabriolet...

About two weeks ago there was an auction on Ebay for a pair of Koni rear dampers, starting bid was a fair £25 so I bidded £26.89. Someone else came in with a bid of £37.00 and the shocks went for £38.00 to someone else.

I thought non more of it, hadn't been back on Ebay since then logged in only to find I had "second" chance offer. By this time it was to late and the shocks had been relisted so I missed out on them. I did contact the seller and he said he was just going to let the action run for the second time.

This time round I put £40 on them, I was getting them for £25, then just like last time (according to bid history that I have saved from previous auction) the same person came in and bidded £37.00 so I ended up winning them for £38.00 the same price as last time.

The £12 extra I aint really that bothered about because I have still saved £130 on a new set and they do look in very good condition, but it's the principle of "friends" upping the bids to scam people.

Not very impressed, scamming TW*T don't know whether to inform Ebay because I have the proof or just buy them and in return leave negative feedback?

What would you do?
 
i have seen this to happen before with items i bought in the past, alot of the time the member that puts in the other bid has very low feed back-more than likely a false member made up by the seller
 
Tried calling Ebay and I keep getting cut off??

Yeah that bidder only has 18 feedback and by looking at their bids on other items they have always gone in within the last hour on every item and bidded.

Must be a scammer
