This looks like shilling to me, but I could be wrong?

seller - anigian518

buyer - zero feedback buyer here - http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... r_ViewLink

Total bids - 45, total with this seller, 100%






I feel like I'm a pretty smart guy, but I sent this email and I just don't follow the logic at all.

Dear anigian518,

Are you shilling your auctions? Sure seems that way
- the 3 auctions I didn't win, the high bidder has
zero feedback and only seems to bid on your cards.

- mudflap02




the zero feedback buyer is a local buyer who buys tons of my cards iknow from a local card shop.instead of offering my cards to only her ,i made her buy my cards on ebay so i could offer my cards to a wider variety of customers.theres half of my cards she doesnt bid on and im sorry she outbids you.you both must want the same stuff only she wants it more.it does benefit me but i would never shill.apreciate your concern and apologize again.i have the same bunch it seems buying my cards and you should watch my sight cause i open tons of cases and am getting ready to list tons of auto and patch lots soon.



second email

zero feedback buyer is a local woman who use to buy bulk lots from me regularly now for years.i recently asked for her to buy from me through ebay so i could offer my cards to other customers.she didnt bid on half my cards and must have wanted the same cards as you only she wanted them more.

Just to go with the topic, does this look like a shill account to you guys?

I was going to win an item from someone with GREAT feedback, but when I saw that this was the person who outbid my opening bid (so I could track the auction), I figured I wouldn't give this guy my money.

It seems SUPER shady that not only did he bid on only the one guy's stuff but each of the bids was with 6 days, 3 hours remaining.

Here's the feedback to the name that I believe to be a shill name, and a lot of the feedback is him winning with the opening bid. Maybe it isn't a shill name.. maybe another "local person"?

He is from upstate NY, and I bet the 518 in his name is the area code which could put him in the Albany area. Perhaps the card store he is refering to is my LCS?

I serious don't believe that is a shill account. Looks like they like to buy cheap jerseys/autos. They usually go for .99 (the opening bid). A lot of people won't pay more b/c of shipping, however, since this person is local they don't have to pay shipping and get them for a buck.
