    That card is not nm-mt for sure. Could you explain exactly how a Shill works, I have heard the term, but do not really understand the full concept of it.

    Thanks,

    A shill bidder is a bidder who is related to the seller or an alternate ID of the seller that is used to artificially inflate the sale price of an item. In this case, the tnbassgirl ID bid in tiny amounts many times to drive up the bid. The face that she won the item may mean that the seller did not want to sell for any less. In this case, a shill bidder was used to create a minimum price instead of a reserve.

    Shill bidding is against eBay rules and should be reported to eBay for investigation.

    Thanks for the info. Why bid in small increments and not just set a max price that she would have paid for it?

    Not to mention the only items they have bid from were from the same seller.
