Ebay has changed their rules to encourage shill bidding by removing bidders identities with stupid hidden ones. A buyer is left to be preyed upon. I'm to the point where I now just let items pass rather than play games. I bought a car that was obviously being shill bid up. It was amazing how the stuff stopped when I emailed the seller. I think Craigslist has the potential to overtake E-bay, with its less frills. I had it happen several times then the seller offers you a BS second chance saying the first bidder reneged.
