Ebay bidding
Man, I was going after a card and look this AM and it has jumped 300%. I look at the bids and see where one guy had set his limit and another guy crests it. The guy who is winning right now has over 20% of bids with this particular seller. My instant thought is that this guy has a buddy helping him out and bumping the value of the card. I am saying a buddy as the one guy has 500 feedback and the seller has 1400 feedback.
Maybe its legitimate but I just needed to vent.

I'm sure there are a few sellers that I am bidding on 20% of thier auctions. I tend to go back to the same guys for items if I find them to be fast and reliable (good deal matters too)
maybe it's a case like I've stated, but then again, maybe it is shill bidding.

If the bidding history shows one bidder, re-upping his bid against no other bidders in response but only to his own bids, then that is for sure a Shill.
Shill & Seller only want the general public to look at the number of bids. It will show a high Bid number, yet an attractive price, if a Shiller is hard at work. Having many bids, yet still early in the auction attracts buyers like bees to honey.
