I think this seller shill bid me

[newplayer]

I tried to bid on this anthony randolph patch/auto. I thought the winning bid is very, so I checked the seller's whole feedback profile to see what kind of item they sold, but they kept the profile private. Bid history is also kept private. Is this an example of shill bidding? http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=120452628463
Should I contact ebay?

wow that is a whole lot for that card regardless if its #1/25 but unfortunately theres no way to prove shill bidding, you just need to be a little smarter and if it looks like its way to much for that kind of card then stay away.

Thats the red hot parallel #/25, right? Does anyone know if they also did a white hot parallel #/10 this year? I mean thats a pretty high price but A.Randolph stuff has sky rocketed. He had a superb summer league showing. I wish my Knicks could've landed him last season, I remember we were trying to acquire him....

shill bidding?

It's when a bidder bids in small increments to help drive up the price of the item. Sellers are usually the ones who are accused of this, as they could either make another account and bid on there own item, or they have one of there friends bid on it for them.

As for the auction, it does look very supicious, but I'm really not too familiar with Anthony Randolph prices.

**** it with all these ebay sellers i think i gotta stop buying cards from ebay and start buying/trading with you guys. but is there anything else i can do? would it make any difference if i report it to ebay? i don't want to pay that much but i don't want an unpaid item strike either. i already have one last year for something really stupid

just wondering why did you bid so high on the card if you didnt intend to pay that amount for it?

There is a White Hot this year also but it is only #/1.

you know its your choice on wether you want to pay or not, if i were you i would just try and email him and give him a story on why you cannot pay etc but if you try and report it im not sure much will get done that route....good luck either way.....

there is no way i would pay for it contact ebay and let them know they will cancel the transaction for you
