Fishy??

Does this seem fishy tp you conspiracy theorists? Ebay #2776890568. Two of the bidders just registered in the last 8 days, with one registering yesterday, the same day the item was listed. LMK what you guys think?

Could be fishy or could just be coincidence. I’ve noticed that lately I’ve been getting a lot more low/zero feedback/newly registered bidders on my auctions. Not sure why that is. I’ve also noticed that my non paying bidders have gone up- and rather than being the low/zero feedback bidders, it’s the ones you’d think you could trust (i.e., ones w/100+ feedbacks, no prior signs of flakiness).

When I suspect some foul play, I search all the other auctions those users bid on. If you check these two, you'll see they bid on many auctions from different sellers; nothing fishy.

The new trend I'm noticing for shill bidders is to use private auction listings; I would watch out for those.
