    What is the Ebay user name for that bidder, so that I can check out his activity? Thanks.

    Maybe this bider is only comfortable with bidding on neyronix auctions and has a habit of typos when placing bidsimage

    I was watching a few of his auctions a couple weeks ago where there was one bidder that entered about 10 bids (one bid each) on 10 different items, all within seconds of each other. A second bidder then entered 10 more bids on the exact same items all within a few seconds of the first bidder's bids. It was such a flagrant example of shill bidding I laughed out loud!!! The bids were all early morning bids, too (sometime shortly after midnight).

    I correctly guessed who the seller was before clicking the link.

    If you can provide me with that information I will be happy to check it out. And if it looks as if it is shill bidding, I wont hesitate to report it to Ebay.

    seems like every couple of months we get a Bobby Hughes eBay shill bidding thread. several threads on "neyronix" and his previous eBay names. it's fairly clear that it's shill bidding (as is the case with most of his "auctions") and eBay seems to do nothing when it is reported.

    I've seen a number of discussions about his listings. But I wonder how many people actually report them AND include convincing evidence.

    Because 1) he is the seller of the item in question, and 2) there have been a number of discussions here regarding what looks as if it could be shilling of coins that he sells on Ebay.

    That bidding might not have anything to do with shilling. Has he done the same in multiple other auctions of the same seller?

    Ebay could so easily put a stop to this with a few lines of code but clearly they dont give a f. which is why their stock has plummeted. If google ever decides to offer anything other than advertising as their income model then ebay will vanish.

    did you pay more because of a shill?

    The price of gold is set by faith, or lack of, in the currency it is priced in.
